Devil Bones - Kathy Reichs (2008)Kathy Reichs is a smarter than most thriller author. Being a forensic anthropologist herself, she brings a great sense of authenticity to the character of Tempe Brennan, and one that is much smarter and wittier in the books than is able to be depicted in her tv character on Bones.
This book started with a hiss and a roar with the discovery of a body by the shore, and satanic looking bones in a basement renovation. The ending though felt a bit of a struggle to come together and in recent style, Tempe is again attacked by the errant baddie. Far too predictable - the ultimate showdown that always feel a bit forced.
I like Kathy Reichs writing though, she is always a author that I look forward to her next book, but like many I feel her earlier work was stronger. 3/5
