Bones Never Lie

Bones Never is the latest in the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs.

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 sting of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture.  It was 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.


The Breakdown:
1.  I am a big fan of Reichs' Temperance Brennan series.  The stories at fast paced thrillers that keeps me turning the pages and engaged in the story.  This story was no different.  This may have been my favorite book since Spider Bones.

2.   I thought that after Bones of the Lost, that Reichs was done with Detective Andrew Ryan, but I was pleasantly surprised when Ryan was back in full force.  She did well having a nice balance between the old Ryan and the Ryan changed by the death of his child.  Super excited about how Reichs ended between Tempe and Ryan.

3. I really loved the story in this book.  Reichs really kept me guessing what exactly was going on.  She had some pretty amazing twist to added to the story.  I love how Reichs takes time to explain when she introduces a new crime solving techniques, or in the case of this book, the process of getting the sugar from maple trees.
