Product Description
Temperance Brennan, like her creator Kathy Reichs, is a brilliant, sexy forensic anthropologist called on to solve the toughest cases. But for Tempe, the discovery of a young girl's skeleton in Acadia, Canada, is more than just another assignment. Evangeline, Tempe's childhood best friend, was also from Acadia. Named for the character in the Longfellow poem, Evangeline was the most exotic person in Tempe's eight-year-old world. When Evangeline disappeared, Tempe was warned not to search for her, that the girl was "dangerous."Thirty years later, flooded with memories, Tempe cannot help wondering if this skeleton could be the friend she lost so many years ago. And what is the meaning of the strange skeletal lesions found on the bones of the young girl? Meanwhile, Tempe's beau, Ryan, investigates a series of cold cases. Three girls dead. Four missing. Could the New Brunswick skeleton be part of the pattern? As Tempe draws on the latest advances in forensic anthropology to penetrate the past, Ryan hunts down a serial predator.

Teresa Yuch (Garden Grove, CA United States)
this was a shocker because I watch the show bones and had never read a book by Kathy. It was a great book but dont expect the characters to be anything like the show. good smooth read.

 Bones to ashes September 23, 2008
Caroline C. Lobatoz (Gilbert,Az.)
I would recommend this book withsome reservations. I have read several of Kathy Reichs' books and this is not the best one of her writtings. It is very informative with regard to the history of New Brunswick(sp)and the Acadian people.Temperence Brennan obsessed about her childhood friend a little too much. It was not one of her better books in my opinion.

I beleive I have read every "Bones" book Kathy has written. They are always good. Way better than the TV show by far!
Once Again Tempe's in Trouble Deep September 2, 2008
Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest)
Forensic anthropologist Temperance (Tempe) Brennon works both in Quebec and North Carolina working murder cases which usually involve action, danger and old bones. In this one she's just returned to her Montreal office for the summer and gets a new case, well a new box of bones. Her job, determine if they're animal or human and if human was foul play involved.
She determines they are human and that they appear to be of an adolescent. When she finds out the bones had been discovered in the Canadian Maritime Provinces that brings back memories of her childhood friend Evangeline Landry and her sister, who she played with in South Carolina when they were staying there with their aunt and uncle. Tempe and the girls were close right up until the time the girls disappeared. Her family wouldn't say why, just that it was a bad thing.
Tempe is convinced the bones are tied to a crime. So she goes to the Maritimes in search of missing girls and to try and find out how the girl whose bones she in charge of died. Of course, on again, off again lover Detective Andrew Ryan, who's worked several cases involving missing girls, goes with her.
And as usual Tempe finds out enough to get a killer or killers interested in what she's up to. Here, we're talking about a sociopathic killer of the first order. There's more to be sure, Tempe's in danger again and once again Kathy Reich has written an edge of your seat story that's nigh well impossible to put down. And as usual Ms. Reich's ties everything up neatly, though I didn't think it was possible.
