Summary: 5 Stars
well worth a read. started and could not put it down till it was finishedBook Review: Bones to ashes
Summary: 3 Stars
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.

Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
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.
