Description
206 Bones by Kathy Reichs is the twelfth gripping instalment in the bestselling Temperance Brennan forensic thriller series. Written by the real-life forensic anthropologist and producer of the hit TV show Bones, this novel blends Reichs’s trademark forensic detail with a pulse-pounding mystery that places its heroine in immediate, life-threatening danger. As always, Reichs’s expert knowledge and taut storytelling make for an engrossing, intelligent crime novel.
The story opens with Temperance Brennan regaining consciousness in a freezing, pitch-dark, confined space — bound, terrified, and unsure how she got there. As Tempe struggles to stay calm, she begins piecing together the events that led her here. What started with the transport of a missing heiress’s remains from Montreal to Chicago quickly spiralled into a tangle of accusations, sabotage, and murder. An anonymous phone call accuses Tempe of autopsy mishandling, and soon a key witness is found dead. Back in Montreal, elderly women are turning up murdered in the woods. As Tempe investigates the unsettling connections between these cases, she must also navigate growing tensions with Detective Andrew Ryan and fend off a dangerous enemy much closer to home than she realises.
Perfect for fans of crime fiction rich in forensic science and psychological tension, 206 Bones is an absorbing, clever thriller that keeps readers hooked until the very last page.
