Review of Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs
Run of the mill book in the Dr Temperance Brennan series of crime thriller novels.
I read this novel over a couple of days last week, but to be honest, I’ve forgotten most of it already. As the latest in the Kathy Reich’s Temperance Brennan series, it just didn’t grab me. Tempe is a forensic anthropologist and this story basically has two threads. Tempe’s missing childhood pal, what happened when she went missing all those years ago? Is she dead? Was she murdered? The second thread deals with missing young girls and unidentified bodies of young women. The first does give some small insight into her childhood which was interesting, I guess, for those that have been reading this series of books. Alas I found it all too incredible. The main character interactions didn’t really ring true. More caricatures than believable people. It kept me interested whilst reading but in the end a pretty forgettable novel. I think I’ve had enough of this style of book. Onwards and upwards.
