THE SENSATIONAL NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

#1 bestselling author Kathy Reichs takes her acclaimed heroine, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, on a harrowing excavation where she unearths a chilling history -- and puts her own future on the line in a desperate investigation.

GRAVE SECRETS

They are "the disappeared," twenty-three massacre victims buried in a well in the Guatemalan village of Chupan Ya two decades ago. Leading a team of experts on a meticulous, heartbreaking dig, Tempe Brennan pieces together the violence of the past. But a fresh wave of terror begins when the horrific sounds of a fatal attack on two colleagues come in on a blood-chilling satellite call. Teaming up with Special Crimes Investigator Bartolomé Galiano and Montreal detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe quickly becomes enmeshed in the cases of four privileged young women who have vanished from Guatemala City -- and finds herself caught in deadly territory where power, money, greed, and science converge.

Summary: Kathy Reichs
Comment: First time I have ordered from Amazon. Just got the computer in June. I bought so many good books that I havent been able to get to this book yet. Ordering from Amazon was so neat. Just pick what you want, use my debit card and it comes right to the door. I think I owe my mailman an apology because Ive had so many packages come that it makes extra work for him. I got all the other Temperance Brennan books at the library and there were several not available any longer. So to be able to read the ones I couldn't find and sort of fill in the blanks was very exciting for me. I was surprised to see the number of selections and the private sales and to be able to choose what I wanted. I think this Christmas will be more fun than ever. No Mall hopping or crowds. It really was fun.

Summary: Not Reichs' best, but okay
Comment: Okay, like all the Temperance Brennan books by Kathy Reichs that I've read, I enjoyed 'GRAVE SECRETS', but this was not her best effort. The story was pretty good, though for me at least, hard to follow with a large number of characters to keep track of, even though I take notes as I go along. Brennan was in top form getting to the bottom of things (in this one the very bottom) and shaking up the bad guys. The ending was kind of out of no where though. What was Tempe thinking by going out to investigate in the condition she was in? At some point, Brennan has to be smarter than that. Any time that a writer has to take a chapter to explain everything that happened and why, I get the impression that either that author doesn't think the reader is smart enough to follow along or that the writer did not do a good enough job putting the novel together. This one was probably a combination of those. My feeling here is go ahead and read 'GRAVE SECRETS'. It's a good read and will keep your interest. Just don't expect it to live up to other Temperance Brennan novels. Still good, but not great. In my opinion, Kathy Reichs is one of the more dependable authors around.

Summary: Literally Amazing!
Comment: Once again Kathy Reichs teaches me something new. Her descriptions are so detailed I feel I am standing by her side watching rather then reading. After falling in love with her TV series Bones I realized she was a best selling author. I first read Bones to Ashes on it's release. And immediately bought all back books and started from her first one up. I love her detailed descriptions!! I already have her on my preorder list waiting for her next one!

Summary: don't lecture me
Comment: Reichs' heavy handed way of getting the scientific explanations in through dialogue frequently brings the novel to a standstill. The storyline is interesting enough but the writing style is uninteresting, perhaps even sophomoric.

Summary: Bones VI
Comment: Although the Tempe Brennan in the books shares only the name and the profession with the TV character, she is also an enjoyable heroine. The author obviously does great background research for her novels. A great fun read.
