tabatha_shipley's review against another edition
3.0
What I Did Like:
-The characters. Although they’re not the ones you’ll know and love from the TV show, I did like the dynamics between Temperance and Detective Ryan. They play off each other nicely and set up a good working relationship that will carry the rest of the books in this series.
-Mistakes are made. That is always important in a book about solving a crime. It’s unrealistic to imagine a detective, or anyone working a case, will get it all right on the first try. I like the realism behind errors.
-The forensic connection is well written. Obviously, that is Kathy Reichs’ background and expertise so it makes sense that would be well done. The forensic science in this one is written in such a way that it doesn’t go over the reader’s head but also teaches you something.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of crime novels who are looking for something different will like the way this series takes a look at forensic anthropology as another avenue for crime solving.
My Rating: 3 Stars

If you like Bones I don’t know that I would recommend this to you. If you like gory thrillers ala Nora Roberts, I *would* recommend this to you. This is like if Bones was Criminal Minds-levels of violence and appears to be what the Howard Epps storyline was based on.
