First Bones by Kathy Reichs
5.0
I really enjoyed this origin story for Dr. Temperance Brennan. I've seen a few reviews stating that they feel that this book is a return to the gripping writing style that Kathy Reichs had in the early books in the Temperance Brennan series; I would agree with that. This novella keeps you interested piqued throughout and Reichs wraps up the story nicely in the short amount of pages we are given.
It left me with questions as well: what happened in the interim between this story and Deja Dead. For instance, Tempe and Pete are young, childless and happily married. Tempe is still drinking wine but the reader is given the sense that she is realizing she has a toxic relationship with the substance. There is also a death at the end of this novella that left me puzzled.
Overall, I highly recommend this book and this entire series if you are a fan of crime thrillers.
