Easy read with a good storyline. Tempe gets called to Washington DC to help identify human remains from a house fire. The story has the usual twists and turns of a Kathy Reichs novel and doesn‘t disappoint. Her books are never boring.

charl08 @Butterfinger my guess is the translator worked at speed. There are a few like this. Maybe needed another set of eyes to catch them. 2w

I love this series and this one was really good! REICHS even had someone binging all the seasons of “Bones”. I love little nods like that.
As the title suggests, these victims have been burned. I enjoyed this one on audio.

Rich men are fished out of River Thames - all of them drowned in weird circumstances and their inheritances go to the same charity… 🧐🧐🧐 Definitely a case for Inspector Holt. I love those old crime mysteries.

This is the radio drama version of the German parody of The Ringer by Edgar Wallace. The movie made gun of the weird villains Wallace used and was quite funny. For the radio drama they even the sounds of the movie and gave it a voiceover of the main character. I liked it.

Jari-chan I watched the movie several times back then. Hilarious 😂 3w

Latest Karen Pirie was good fun. Set in lockdown a librarian at the national archives links a crime writers manuscript to the disappearance of a young woman. With lots of nods and winks to the Scottish crime writing community, I think val macdermid enjoyed making the villains fellow crime writers. I enjoy the characters in the series, + it also still feels strange remembering lockdown. Hopefully, a new one soon + maybe a further TV adaptation

kspenmoll Great series! 1mo

The latest in the series finds Tempe in DC, asked to assist with the aftermath of a fire. It‘s a good addition to the series, with a fun wink at Bones. I didn‘t love the audio, though, which I thought was read a bit dry. I will warn potential readers that there is a brief but very frank description of what happens to human bodies in fire, which might be too much for some right now.

Eva_B Thanks! You‘ve just reminded me to reserve this at my local library! 😊 1mo
