Title:  Bones Never Lie

AuthorKathy Reich

Review:   Much improved compared to the last few books!!!  Thank Heaven she is back!

I have read every book in this series and I really liked this one more than I have the last few – the mystery was from an earlier book and yet it was new.  I liked that the end was not a race to the death like many of this books have been – the ending made more sense in real life this time – but I have the say the very end had me saying “What the heck?”  - That came out of nowhere – but I am not saying I am unhappy about it – just a bit surprised and now wondering why I read these as they come out because I have a long year to wait for the next and to see what happens with the big surprise at the end.

This is a good series that is getting better and better – this is one of the best in the series – so far – in my opinion.  These books are nothing like the TV series – Bones – but they stand alone and are just as interesting.  I really enjoy the characters in this series but I missed her ex-husband and daughter this time around.  We did get more background on her mother and family life growing up.

If you enjoy a good mystery pick this one up today.  I have missed this authors full ability and I think she is back!

Quick Review: 4 out of 5 stars
Why I Read this Title:  Requested from my local library and waited for a few months.

Synopsis: In the acclaimed author’s thrilling new novel, Brennan is at the top of her game in a battle of wits against the most monstrous adversary she has ever encountered.

Unexpectedly called in to the Charlotte PD’s Cold Case Unit, Dr. Temperance Brennan wonders why she’s been asked to meet with a homicide cop who’s a long way from his own jurisdiction. The shocking answer: Two child murders, separated by thousands of miles, have one thing in common—the killer. Years ago, Anique Pomerleau kidnapped and murdered a string of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture. It was a devastating defeat for her pursuers, Brennan and police detective Andrew Ryan. Now, as if summoned from their nightmares, Pomerleau has resurfaced in the United States, linked to victims in Vermont and North Carolina. When another child is snatched, the reign of terror promises to continue—unless Brennan can rise to the challenge and make good on her second chance to stop a psychopath.

But Brennan will have to draw her bitter ex-partner out of exile, keep the local police and feds from one another’s throats, and face more than just her own demons as she stalks the deadliest of predators into the darkest depths of madness.

In Bones Never Lie, Kathy Reichs never fails to satisfy readers looking for psychological suspense that’s more than skin-deep.
