Sinossi
Durante un gelido dicembre canadese, Tempe Brennan è a Montreal per una perizia durante un processo, quando nella cantina di una pizzeria vengono scoperti tre scheletri umani, sepolti sotto il pavimento. L'investigatore della polizia canadese, Luc Claudel, pensa che si tratti di antiche tombe, ma grazie alla tecnologia più sofisticata Tempe riesce a stabilire che le tre persone sono state assassinate recentemente. A chi appartengono quelle ossa? E cosa è accaduto davvero? Mentre l'indagine procede a ritmi serrati, e Tempe si accorge che il fidanzato di sempre, il detective Andrew Ryan, si comporta in maniera inspiegabile, appare sempre più chiaro che questi recenti delitti riportano alla luce una vicenda passata ancora più orribile.

I have read all of Kathy Reichs’s offerings since her first book, Deja Dead was published in 1997. I have to ask myself why. I don’t particularly like Temperance Brennan, Kathy Reichs’ forensic heroine. I don’t like the settings of her novels, and even though I speak French, I don’t like it when her Leggi tutto

Tempe has just suffered her seventh traumatic brain injury to date and i know the story will devolve into the usual formulaic ending so I don't really have to keep reading from here (do I?)I am surprised she is not a shambling, drooling amnesiac, she's been hit in the head so much. As always, I foun Leggi tutto
I've been reading some beaten up old paperbacks off my shelves to pass them on and have no regrets. I love the Bones books (cough, Brennan) and was a fan of the show too. I also love Montreal and spent a lot of time up there so even though I wish she'd back off on the street names and such, it's a n Leggi tutto
Well, the science was good. As usual it was thoroughly researched and I learned something new, about Carbon dating. But, I can't help feeling the storyline just gets formulaic. Got news about boyfriend seeing other woman, instead of asking she just keep quiet. Then towards the end, of course she had Leggi tutto
