"A brilliant novel in the tradition of the best Southern gothic
writing! What a pleasure it is to watch Tempe Brennan on the job
once again, this time in the perfectly realized world of South
Carolina. Reichs's seamless blending of fascinating science and
dead-on psychological portrayals, not to mention a whirlwind of a
plot, make Break No Bones a must read." -- Jeffery Deaver, author
of The Cold Moon and The Twelfth Card
"A rare treat indeed for the discerning mystery reader! Kathy
Reichs is a working forensic anthropologist who can also write! She
combines her brilliance in both arts in her mesmerizing novels, and
Break No Bones is the best yet! I am awed by its power and her
ability to demonstrate what I call 'the silent secrets in the
bones.' Once again, I am so impressed with the wealth of knowledge
Reichs draws on, her suspenseful plotting, and her marvelous ear
for dialogue and sense of place. Temperance Brennan rides again in
this compelling tale of a suspenseful murder probe. Reichs' fans
will be delighted; I predict an overnight bestseller! Reading Break
No Bones kept pulling me away from my own deadlines, but I loved
it!" -- Ann Rule, author of Green River, Running Red; Worth More
Dead and the forthcoming Too Late to Say Goodbye
The success of the Fox TV show Bones, based on bestseller Reichs's series featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Cross Bones, etc.), bodes well for this latest installment, in which Brennan once again stumbles on a modern-day mystery inadvertently. While supervising a dig of Native American burial grounds in Charleston, S.C., Brennan finds more recent remains. Soon, her ex-husband, who's a lawyer, appears in town, pursuing leads in a missing persons case connected with a local church. Bodies start piling up at an alarming rate, and Brennan begins to suspect that the deaths are linked to each other and her ex-husband's inquiry. Reichs's down-to-earth heroine is an appealing creation, who deftly juggles personal problems with professional challenges. Despite the somewhat obvious solution, this novel confirms the series' place in the front rank of the ever-expanding forensic thriller subgenre. (July) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
