The Bone Code by Kathy Reichs
Chosen by Michelle, Information Services Coordinator
This is the 20th title in the Temperance Brennan series from Kathy Reichs. Temperance Brennan was also immortalised in the long running TV show Bones, but this Tempe is very different. In Bone Code, two murders decades apart, but in close proximity to both Tempe and her work, bring to light a long hidden coverup. Can Tempe, her partner Ryan and her friends and colleagues solve the murders of a woman, two teens and a child, without being endangered themselves?
Wow, it was all happening in this title. Weather, disease and bodies from separate eras connected – but with the finest strands of recognition and pattern. Kathy Reichs as always writes a very good read and she keeps you thinking. Is the weather just an impediment to Brennan’s investigations, and what about the outbreak?
You don’t have to have read her other books to enjoy this one. A great whodunnit from the forensic perspective, but with law enforcement in the mix.
