The science is always the second star in these books. Really interesting details. Strong story that pulled all the elements together at the end without dropping a stitch.

A good holiday read but when I started thinking about the story I got annoyed by the way the characters acted , it didn't ring true.

About the Book: Long ago Tempe had a childhood friend, a quirky and strange girl whose company was a delight. Then one day the girl disappeared. And the people told Brennan not to pursue her, letting it slip that doing so would be too dangerous. Today before Brennan lie bones. Bones that surface all those memories, and hold a lead to the darkest edges of the criminal world.

My Opinion: Sometimes Brennan defies logic. Considering her field of work, how can she brush off someone disappear for days if not a week, on a “eh, they were always impulsive“? Other times she dreams up, literally, the answers, making it a bit harder for the reader to follow and connect the dots. Not a masterpiece, but, okay, not bored yet.

An entertaining listen. I enjoyed the Temperance, even if it took me a few minutes to get used to her not being "Bones from TV". The supporting cast wasn't bad either. I wasn't blown away by the story, but it was okay. Probably on the same level as a Rebus.
I gotta say, though, the reader was phenomenal. She was clear and understandable, pronounced the French well, and did a good job with her different voices for each character - a joy to listen to.

Another great read from Kathy Reichs in the Temperance Brennan series. As with all long running series, some are going to be my favorites, others not as much. I wouldn’t say that Bones to Ashes is my favorite in this series but that could also be because of the subject matter. Young girls are going missing in Montreal and Tempe and her favorite SQ detective, Andrew Ryan, are on the case. But emotions get in the way as Tempe battles ghosts from her past and present. I enjoyed this story, an emotional gut punch at some points but with Tempe’s sister Harry along for the ride, I really enjoyed how the story unfolded.

3.5 stars. The series has grown on me. I started out being disappointed that the books and tv series isn't the same or similar in anyway but I find my self eager to pick up book after book. They aren't great or a favorite but they are great fun
