Title: Bones Are Forever
Review:
I enjoy this author and request her books as soon as they show up in the library
system. This book was well paced and
well written. I enjoyed the mystery and
especially the way that Tempe gets involved in every aspect. When she was roped and fell into the cold
pond, it was so vivid I could feel the frigid water hitting my face.
I missed the
romance level between Tempe and Ryan, of course that has been missing for a few
books now. I wish that Kathy would
decide to get them back together or allow Tempe and Ryan someone else to
love. Tempe cannot be happy with her
lonely, crazy life….someone to snuggle with at night in the cold Canada winters
is needed for her to be happy.
I enjoy this
series and this author. 4 stars…I want
them to get back together.

the book: I requested it from my local library.
Synopsis: Kathy Reichs, #1 New
York Times bestselling author and producer of the FOX televison hit Bones, is
at her brilliant best in a riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist
Tempe Brennan—a story of infanticide, murder, and corruption, set in the
high-stakes, high-danger world of diamond mining. A woman calling herself Amy
Roberts checks into a Montreal hospital complaining of uncontrolled bleeding.
Doctors see evidence of a recent birth, but before they can act, Roberts
disappears. Dispatched to the address she gave at the hospital, police discover
bloody towels outside in a Dumpster. Fearing the worst, they call Temperance
Brennan to investigate.
In a run-down apartment Tempe makes a ghastly discovery: the
decomposing bodies of three infants. According to the landlord, a woman named
Alma Rogers lives there. Then a man shows up looking for Alva Rodriguez. Are
Amy Roberts, Alma Rogers, and Alva Rodriguez the same person? Did she kill her
own babies? And where is she now?
Heading up the investigation is Tempe’s old flame, homicide
detective Andrew Ryan. His counterpart from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
is sergeant Ollie Hasty, who happens to have a little history with Tempe
himself, which she regrets. This unlikely trio follows the woman’s trail, first
to Edmonton and then to Yellowknife, a remote diamond-mining city deep in the
Northwest Territories. What they find in Yellowknife is more sinister than they
ever could have imagined.
Crackling with sexual tension, whip-smart dialogue, and the
startling plot twists Reichs delivers so well, Bones Are Forever is the
fifteenth thrilling novel in Reichs’s “cleverly plotted and expertly maintained
series” (The New York Times Book Review). With the FOX series Bones in its
eighth season and her popularity at its broadest ever, Kathy Reichs has reached
new heights in suspenseful storytelling.
Author Biography: Kathy Reichs is a forensic anthropologist for the Office of
the Chief Medical Examiner, State of North Carolina, and for the Laboratoire
des Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale for the province of Quebec. She
is one of only fifty forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board
of Forensic Anthropology and is on the Board of Directors of the American
Academy of Forensic Sciences. A professor of anthropology at The University of
North Carolina at Charlotte, Dr. Reichs is a native of Chicago, where she
received her Ph.D. at Northwestern. She now divides her time between Charlotte
and Montreal and is a frequent expert witness in criminal trials.
