Summary: 4 Stars
4 1/2 stars.
Officials ask anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan to help with the body of a missing heiress, Rose Jermain. Temp finds that the woman died of hypothermia and that there didn't appear to be a crime involved.
However, an anonymous phone call is received by the dead woman's father, alleging that Temp deliberately falsified the autopsy report. When Temp explains her findings, she's told that she has an enemy and it would be to her benefit to find out who.
The plot driven story weaves between Temp's current status where she is bound and locked in a small space, while attempting to figure out how she got there and how to escape and the events that led up to her predicament.
The earlier events include being back at the lab where bodies of a number of elderly women had been found. Temp and Lt. Ryan wonder if they are dealing with a serial killer of these aged women.
Complicating the situation is that as Temp is attempting to help the police find the killer of these women, someone seems to be sabotaging her work.
Kathy Reich expands the story line with Brennan in her novels and with the TV show,"Bones." She presents enjoyable plots and situations for her heroine to resolve. Brennan is such a real character that the reader agonizes with her as her superior informs her that she missed a vital clue and a junior member of the team found it and was praised for her effort.
There also a nice chemistry between Temp and Lt. Ryan. I enjoyed this work and continue to appreciate the excellent writing of the author.
