A review by kaylin_means
Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

 Not my typical cup of tea, but it was recommended by a friend for a lover of police procedurals like Law & Order. Also, I was looking to watch the show but wanted to read the book first as I often do. Turns out the book and the TV show share a main character's name and profession but that's pretty much where the similarities end. It was pretty grisly and overly descriptive of heinous crimes for my taste, but I will say I generally enjoyed the storyline and it kept my attention until the end. 3.25 stars.
