Summary: Three Mysteries at Once, No Problem for Tempe
Comment: In rapid succession three seemingly unrelated mysteries threaten overwhelm no-nonsense, workaholic, forensic scientist Tempe Brennen. First she has to examine the skeleton of a newborn baby found in a woodstove, the grandchild of a someone she knows. Second she has to make sense of a horrifying scene, a light plane crashed, pilot and passenger charred beyond recognition and covered with a weird black substance. And thirdly her dog sniffs out a cache of long-buried bones. Bear bones, at least most of them, but some seem to be human.
While she plays detective, toiling away in the lab, her sometime love interest Andrew Ryan has arrived in town for a sensual vacation with her. However, Ryan must shift from lover to bodyguard, when Tempe becomes the target of a sinister stalker. And as usual Tempe sort of bumbles toward the final clue that will uncover the evildoers, defying death as she ploughs straight ahead to solve the crimes, and also as usual, by accident.
Kathy Reichs works up a treat of a plot, intertwining these three mysteries in ever more puzzling circles, drawing her readers into her well woven web.

Summary: great story
Comment: This is the first novel i have read by Kathy Reichs but i will certainly start looking for her other books. This was an enjoyable read. The technical jargon may be over some people's heads, but she explains all you need to know and if you have any medical background at all, you will love it. The pace is good. I love the way she incorporates a love interest without turning the story into a romance novel. There are twists and thrills to be had in the book's 306 pages. Ms Reichs writing is smooth and flows without getting bogged down in alot of nonsense you don't need or want to know. My only complaint is i feel she rushed the ending a little bit. She builds up a grand climatic ending and just sort of gushes it all out instead of letting the ending unfold on it's own. I will definitely catch up on her other books i have not read yet and i will continue to read her books in the future.

Summary: Rambling, confusing and ultimately boring
Comment: This was my first Kathy Reichs book and it was quite disappointing. Too many characters and subplots made this book confusing and rambling. The plot was interesting so I kept reading, but it was difficult to keep going and I had to resist the urge to skip to the last chapter. I have read the most recently published books of other "series" and enjoyed it so much that I read the entire series. But I would not read another Reichs book.
