Dr. Tempe Brennan is
surprised to be invited to a meeting on a cold case investigation.
She is even more surprised when the case involves the murder of young
girls in Vermont as well as Charlotte, North Carolina. The case is
similar to the Canadian case in which Anique Pomerleau tortured and
killed young girls and almost succeeded in killing Tempe. The
similarity sends a cold shudder over her. She worked on that case
with Andrew Ryan, her sometime lover, but he's left the force
battling grief over the death of his daughter from a heroin overdose.
Now she needs to reconnect with him to solve the latest crimes.
The plot moves
swiftly forced by the necessity to find the killer before more girls
die. Tempe Brennan pulls you into her world. You can't help feeling
the sense of urgency she exudes. I enjoyed the forensic science, although autopsy results may not be everyone's cup of tea. The repetitious
descriptions of Detective Slidell got old, but the involvement of
Tempe's eccentric mother was a bright spot.
If you're a Reichs
fan, this is a good addition to the series. If you llike
murder
mysteries with technical detail, you'll enjoy this one.
I reviewed this book
for Net Galley.
