SPEAKING IN BONES by Kathy Reichs

Dr. Temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist, which means they study bones to determine how people lived, but in her case mostly how they died. When an odd woman shows up in her office with a tale of old bones, missing people, and murder, the doctor is intrigued. The bones in question are already in her lab. What will the bones say? Reichs uses all her professional knowledge to create a terrifying tale of murder, warped faith, family secrets and more. Along with bones, Tempe is also dealing her relationship with Canadian policeman Ryan. If you are new to Dr. Brennan, (this is the 17th novel in the series), you may need to do some catching up to fully understand some of the plot details. If you are a Tempe fan, this outing is deliciously evil. 5 of 5 stars
