Book Review: Sell-by date coming up?
Summary: 4 Stars
As ever, I was looking forward to the latest Tempe Brennan story. Ahead of Cornwell in the forensic anthropologist stakes, in my view but now I'm beginning to wonder. At first, I thought I'd somehow missed out a book. I don't remember Ryan leaving her in the lurch, I don't remember the dog leaving home but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, this book doesn't flow like the others. There's plenty of forensic detail, several bodies to be explained and a few more currently taken care of by the killer.
What I don't quite get is how an anthropologist becomes the number one detective. As though the police hardly make a difference for without Brennan, the case would not be solved. Which, of course, means her life is threatened once again. But this time, the coincidences are wearing a bit thin. I really don't believe a chance look at a music website brings up the identity of one of the people involved. Surely not??
I've given the book 4 stars because I've enjoyed the outing with Tempe Brennan but I honestly think it's worth only 3! As for the next one? I may well wait until I can pick it up secondhand after the hype has gone. Sorry if her fans disagree with me.
