Description
Monday Mourning by Kathy Reichs is the seventh riveting instalment in the internationally bestselling Temperance Brennan forensic thriller series. Combining bone-chilling suspense with cutting-edge forensic science, Reichs — herself a renowned forensic anthropologist — delivers another gripping mystery centred around one of crime fiction’s most compelling heroines. This dark, atmospheric thriller delves into the disturbing psychology of Stockholm syndrome while unearthing a deadly web of secrets in the heart of Montreal.
When Temperance Brennan arrives in Montreal to testify in a murder trial, she’s soon pulled into a far more sinister case. The skeletal remains of three young women are discovered buried in a pizza parlour basement, dismissed by Homicide detective Luc Claudel as ancient history. But Tempe’s forensic tests tell a different story — one that places the deaths much closer to the present. As she investigates further, Tempe confronts the terrifying truth that these women may be part of a recent string of disappearances, and the killer might still be at large. Meanwhile, personal tensions simmer as Detective Andrew Ryan grows increasingly distant, leaving Tempe navigating loneliness and danger in equal measure.
