I have gotten hooked on Kathy Reichs and her alter ego, Temperance Brennan. These are really good stories told in an entertaining and technically accurate way. I have read all of the 'Bones" related books I can find on the used book sites, and have yet to be disappointed in any of them....

Break no Bones- Kathy Reichs
Interesting novel. By far one of the best writers of forensic science. The book leaves you riveted, however in times predictable, only due to having read all of Kathy Reichs books and subsequently getting a good grasp of the forensic ideas, and where they might lead. Harvesting body parts is one of the problems in society today, and Kathy Reichs gives a precise and horrifying account of what human nature can be like. Some of her earlier novels I have had times where I have skipped a few pages however this one has exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this book, as with all her books.

Temperance Brennan forensic anthropologist
Temperance and her students on an island dig off the coast of South Carolina, to prove/disprove the site's worth as an archaeological treasure, stumble on bones but these bones still have flesh attached. The site belongs to Richard Dupree who awaits the go-ahead to continue his housing development. Temperance filling in for her coroner friend Emma finds strange markings on the skeleton. Her estranged husband Pete is tracking down a friend's missing daughter and the missing private eye who originally was hired to find her. A mutual friend unknowingly offers her home to Temperance and Pete thinking one would be long gone before the other arrives. Two more skeletons are found with the same strange markings and Temperance's lover Ryan comes for a surprise visit and finds the suprise is on him. Living with two alpha males and with threats on her life, while following up clues on the case, keep Temperance on her toes.
