Dr. A first-class writer, she dazzles readers with sensory imagery that is apt, fresh, and funny (e.g., "fingers felt cold and limp, like carrots kept too long in a cooler bin"). . When a grinning skull is planted in her garden, her investigation turns personal and escalates to an intense and satisfying conclusion. Except for imparting an excess of lab information, Reichs, also a forensic anthropologist, drives the pace at a heady clip. From Library Journal A superb new writer introduces her intrepid heroine to crime fiction.

Terrible first book of a series Loves RPGs I'm sorry, but I couldn't make it more than a few dozen pages into the story. The writing is very poor, with too much attention paid to irrelevant details and not enough work done on sections that were obviously important.

I am a HUGE fan of the TV show "Bones". When I first found out a long time ago that the show was based on the books by Kathy Reichs, I knew I wanted to read the books because I love to read and I love this genre.

So much of the book is spent with the main character translating what people are saying in french. I dont know why it isnt just written in English to begin with. The other thing I didnt
