Sinossi
Nel suo laboratorio di Montreal, Tempe Brennan, antropologa forense, studia le ossa dei morti a caccia di indizi che altrimenti sfuggirebbero agli investigatori. Sotto la luce fredda del neon è possibile trovare molte risposte, basta saperle cercare. Ma quando lo scheletro di una ragazzina, scomparsa molti anni prima, riaffiora all'improvviso, le certezze di Tempe vacillano sotto l'urto delle emozioni. È mai possibile che quelle piccole ossa appartengano a Evangeline Landry, l'amica del cuore sparita nel nulla quando entrambe erano ancora bambine? Le coincidenze, e l'istinto, costringono Tempe a un viaggio inquietante nel territorio minato della memoria, dove la linea d'ombra che separa le bugie degli adulti e le paure dei bambini si assottiglia fino a scomparire.

Once again I pick up a random book from a crime fiction series, this time it's Temperance Brennan (Bones TV show) book 10! A thriller from a forensic point of view. The main character, Temperance is not that engaging or believable; although a 'strong female lead', she seems to ride slip shod over ev Leggi tutto
I don't know why I read these books. I mean, I love the forensics, but, like Patricia Cornwell, Reichs has created a character who is just dumb dumb dumb and, in my opinion, extremely unlikable. She's tough - okay, whatever. To illustrate that she's tough must she be pigheaded, irrational, totally r Leggi tutto
“The basilar suture is unfused. There are no wisdom teeth, and the second molars show minimal wear.” Fans of Kathy Reichs and the medical thriller genre would probably agree that Temperance Brennan is a real woman, a well-developed character with strengths, flaws and an interesting personality.

A new mystery excellently solved! Oh, do I ever adore Reichs’s novels. Her novels show proof that there are no limits to one’s imagination - especially when the author knows what she/he is talking about. Reichs sucks you in with the first sentence and doesn’t let go until the very last word. The myste Leggi tutto
I picked this up because I am a fan of both the tv show Bones, which is inspired by this series; and of the early Kay Scarpetta novels, which these often get favorably compared to. First, the show is much funnier and more tightly written, and the tv Temperence Bones is much more interesting then the Leggi tutto
A 3.5. I enjoy this series with the forensic science although it does get a bit repetitive. Reichs also likes to summarise a bit too much. The story was good but the coincidence factor of investigating what happened to her childhood friend Evangeline was astronomical. I was fascinated by the Arcadia Leggi tutto
Devoured this in a day; since this novel and Margaret Maron's Hard Row are two of the books I've most looked forward to this year, it's unsurprising. And I honestly think that this could have been Reichs' best Bones novel -- aside from my growing irritation at her reluctance to finish Tempe's relati Leggi tutto
