Speaking in Bones: A Novel by Kathy Reichs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It’s amazing that this is the 18th novel in Kathy Reichs’s Temperance Brennan Series, which I have been following from the 1st book. I like the author’s writing style and how she has developed her characters throughout the series.
Temperance is drawn into a missing person case despite her initial misgivings. This is a case filled with twists and surprises, forensic details, religion, secrets, murder and personal drama.
I felt a bit of a letdown when it came to Temperance and Andrew Ryan’s relationship. What is wrong with Tempe??? I adore Andrew Ryan…he’s such an interesting character and to see him being so patient and understand even when Tempe was giving him a hard time….made me like him even more.
I loved Daisy, Tempe’s mother. What a fabulous and endearing character! Also liked seeing Sidell, the detective that Tempe has worked with previously….their scenes together were so funny…my favorite has to be when
Tempe is on the fone discussing the case and Siddell is busy cleaning his nails with a pen knife!!!!
Another aspect I enjoyed about this book was how each chapter ends on a cliffhanger…..it had me turning the next page as quick as possible so I could find out….what next!!!!
Although I enjoyed this book, it wasn’t as good as the first ones in the series. However, I am looking forward to continuing reading more about Temperance Brennan…and some more of Andrew Ryan…please!!!!!
