Conspiracy of Bones
Conspiracy of Bones | Kathy Reichs
27 posts | 27 read | 13 to read
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a new riveting novel featuring her vastly popular character forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who must use all her tradecraft to discover the identity of a faceless corpse, its connection to a decade-old missing child case, and why the dead man had her cell phone number. It's sweltering in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Temperance Brennan, still recovering from neurosurgery following an aneurysm, is battling nightmares, migraines, and what she thinks might be hallucinations when she receives a series of mysterious text messages, each containing a new picture of a corpse that is missing its face and hands. Immediately, she's anxious to know who the dead man is, and why the images were sent to her. An identified corpse soon turns up, only partly answering her questions. To win answers to the others, including the man's identity, she must go rogue, working mostly outside the system. That's because Tempe's new boss holds a fierce grudge against her and is determined to keep her out of the case. Tempe bulls forward anyway, even as she begins questioning her instincts. But the clues she discovers are disturbing and confusing. Was the faceless man a spy? A trafficker? A target for assassination by the government? And why was he carrying the name of a child missing for almost a decade? With help from a number of law enforcement associates including her Montreal beau Andrew Ryan and the always-ready-with-a-smart-quip, ex-homicide investigator Skinny Slidell, and utilizing new cutting-edge forensic methods, Tempe draws closer to the astonishing truth. But the more she uncovers, the darker and more twisted the picture becomes...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A solid Temperance Brennan book. As always, the audio narration was very well done. The story itself was a good one. All in all, a very enjoyable read / listen.

Book 1 finished for #20in4 (finished on Friday).

I HATE this book! I tried for months to get through reading it, and I just could NOT pay attention. It put me in a reading slump, and because my silly brain can‘t leave a book unfinished, I bought the audiobook to try and get to the end. It was so bad. And to make it worse I‘ve paid for it twice. (Airport price too) ☠️

bookaholic1 That's one of the reasons I gave up reading her books, they just dragged for me too. 3y
Madison91 @bookahokic1 they‘re SO popular! I don‘t get it! 3y

So after finishing 1 of my July reads, I read a few pages of the others, and decent way into “a conspiracy of bones” and I just hate it. So I moved onto my august pile, and thought I‘d go back to July when I was in a more desperate state.

I was excited to start the latest Tempe Brennan book! I love the writing of Kathy Reichs and was not disappointed in this one. The theme of what is real and what is not pervades this book, and after reading the author's note at the end I understand why. Definitely a pick!

Kathy Reichs is on my list of authors whose books I rush out to buy whenever they release a new book. I think this is her first Temperance Brennan in five years. I‘ve missed her! Started it a few days ago and I‘m loving it so far.

I must admit I prefer others more but this was still a good read. The plot is slow and steady but builds to a dramatic and dark climax. I love the little moments between Ryan and Temperance too. I wanted more but this fits with the relationship they have always had and it works. These are always well written and so detailed. I always enjoy the descriptive details of how her mind works and the aneurysm was sensitively handled as well. #Netgalley 4*

I am a fan of Kathy Reichs‘ books and this is a favourite. Tempe is a bit vulnerable, doubting herself and struggling to know what is real at times. But her determination and incredible knowledge it put to work to find the truth. She will not give in.

A masterpiece of plotting, the twists and revelations make this a must read thriller. I loved every dark minute.

It seems like forever since a new Temperance Brennan book has come out & with the librarys being closed I didn't think my hold would ever come in. Thankfully there is Axis 360 for all of my new release book needs while I am stuck at home.

LiteraryinPA What a gentle face! 5y
Tracyantoon That sweet kitty has the longest whiskers!! So cute!📚❤️ 🐈 5y
jackilynn @LiteraryinLititz she is my little sweetheart. Her brothers can be jerks sometimes but not her. @Tracyantoon her & her brothers all have these insanely long whiskers. When they were younger they were shorter because they play rough & kept breaking. I was happy they grew back. 5y

Book 173 of 2019
This was my first Reich's book so I was not sure if I could read this stand alone and still understanding what was going on. It was perfect because I definitely did not feel like I was missing out on anything since I had not read any other of the “Temperance“ books. I loved the show “Bones“ so I knew I had to finally had to read one of her books.

suzie.reads I am collecting the Temperance Brennan series can't wait to start them in the new year 5y
