Product Description:
To some, the dead are a commodity. For Tempe Brennan, they hold the key to cracking a horrific crime ring.
Among the ancient remains in a Native American burial ground, Tempe discovers a fresh skeleton -- and what began as an ordinary teaching stint at an archeology field school in Charleston, South Carolina, fast becomes a heated investigationinto an alarming pattern of homicides. The clues hidden in the bones lead to a street clinic where a monstrous discovery awaits, and Tempe -- whose personal life is in upheaval, with two men competing for her -- can't afford any distractions as she pieces together a shattering and terrifying puzzle.

I really enjoy this series, set often in my beloved South (this one is here in the Charleston area) or in Montreal, where I have many happy memories. Reich's got a lot right about Charleston in this book (except for the bit about basements. We don't do basements in Charleston like you do in other places. something about being at or below sea level and built on landfill discourages digging deep.) But for a weekend escape read, this was great.

Humor is not Kathy Reichs's strong point. Try as hard as she might (and she REALLY tried!), Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich, she is not. The sarcastic sniping she sprinkled into "Break No Bones"--especially between Ryan and the snarky, incredibly un-likeable Pete--was just plain forced. If anything, Tempe's intense seriousness was what made her fun to read. I disliked the tone of this book so much, I didn't finish it. Who did it? I didn't really care.

Watched "Bones" on Fox TV. I enjoyed it so I started hunting for the first book in the series. I hate starting in the middle of series books.

But as I read on and was able to view each version as its own work I really enjoyed the books. I love the forensic stuff. Fans of forensics will enjoy this series because Brennan is not a ...

BREAK NO BONES is definately worth reading as it is a good mystery with good characters and lots of action. Temperance Brennan is at it again, finding bones where they shouldn't be and then becoming a player in a pretty complicated plot. Tempe deals with a county sheriff who is not a typical stereotype in that while he needs to convinced before he takes action, he does eventually act upon real facts and does seem competent in his job. Tempe also has the awkward situation of having her estranged ... Read More

Once again, we are taken back to the days of yesteryear. Our heroine, Dr. Temperance Brennan (Tempe to her friends) is called on by the Charleston County Coroner (an old friend) to help her sort out a murder. Since the body is mostly bones, our girl - nicknamed Bones - is the person to call. One of only 50 forensic anthropologist license in her field, no one is more expert than Tempe. (Note: this is a parallel world to the one on TV.)
