She's supposed to be this amazing bone specialist and is often quite brilliant at her job. Often she makes excellent connections between clues, of the type you expect the heroine in a murder-mystery to make. Yet other times she is really dense and silly. It takes way too long to notice Basterage's slip-up, for example. It's hard to like a character that maddens you sometimes. Ryan is a fairly flat character here -- yes, there is something going on under his surface, but it's never given much voice and he does not seem to have much more of a role in this book than 'cop'. Harry is more useful to Brennan's investigation than Ryan. I read another review about this book on Goodreads, and that person I forget who said the tv version of Brennan -- Bones -- is a better character. Ryan is better, too. Jul 12, Starling rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction , mystery. This is the second book in this series that I've read. I'm reading them out of order. Just picking one off the shelf at the library. The first book I read was set in South Carolina, this one is set in Canada. The back-story is set in the US, but the current mystery takes place totally in Canada.

There is a mystery about the disappearance of Temperance's childhood friend, and that mystery gets tangled in a mystery about young teenaged girls who have been going missing, or turning up as bodies in local waterways for several decades. I got to learn about Temperance's childhood and family in this book, and to meet a very interesting group of people that she works with in Canada, and to meet her Canadian love interest as well. A very good read and I'll be picking up more of them over the next few months. Nov 18, Alaina rated it really liked it Shelves: thriller , november- challenge , romance , mystery , contemporary , fiction. Bones to Ashes was a lot better than the previous book of this series. I get that they aren't together and everything.. It's also frustrating to read. Okay, so this book is the tenth installment of the series. Again, I liked this one because we got to see more of Temperance's sister Harry. Not quite sure how to spell her name.. We also get to Bones to Ashes was a lot better than the previous book of this series. We also get to know more about her niece in this book because she's in trouble. Seems like a change of pace because usually it's temperance in trouble. Lots of trouble. Don't worry, this girl still finds herself in some sticky situations. Luckily, she has detective Ryan to help her out this time around. That make out sesh was good but I'm hoping to get more from them. I just want to be happy and I want them to be happy. As for the murders, or I guess the villain of this book, it was okay. Not really something worthy to mention in my eyes.. I'm hoping the next book, and the ones way after that, will keep me interested. I'm already on the last episode of season 1 of bones and I'm ecstatic to be back in that world. May 27, Cyndi rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-own. I love these books. Sometimes I think I love them more than the show, which I adored. The books take remarkably different paths from the show which makes it more of a stand alone. Our heroine is still single, or at least without the detective. He is trying to get his life together with all the changes that have come about. Some more disturbing than others. Meanwhile our heroine is reliving some of her troubled childhood with the latest case to come across her table. This is an amazing myster I love these books. This is an amazing mystery with tons of twists and turns. I loved it and can't wait to see where this brilliant author will go next. Dec 31, Julia Katic rated it really liked it. Series and author on which one of my favourite TV series "Bones" is based Looking forward to reading more in the series. Easy read and a good escape. Love the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter that 'forces' one onto the next chapter! Jan 19, Kathrin rated it it was amazing Shelves: 21th-century , usa , female-author , mystery. The 10th book in the series - still going strong. I liked this one maybe a little more than others because it tells a lot about Tempe's past and how she grew up. Looking forward to the next one! I thought this was one of the best books of this series. I loved learning about Tempe's childhood and seeing her interact with her sister, Harry, and thought it made me sad, I liked the new developments and problems in her relationship with Andrew Ryan. The mystery was also really interesting, especially when it intersected with Tempe's personal life. Reichs continues to make the scientific jargon of her profession easy for novices to follow, and I really enjoyed being inside Tempe's head for th I thought this was one of the best books of this series. Reichs continues to make the scientific jargon of her profession easy for novices to follow, and I really enjoyed being inside Tempe's head for this story. Jan 22, Celia rated it it was ok Shelves: mystery. I don't know why I keep picking up Kathy Reichs' books - I'm am always disappointed with them. While the mystery in this one was fairly engaging forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan believes that an anonymous skeleton of a young girl belongs to a missing childhood friend , it's almost too convoluted, with its twists and turns neatly confined by chapter, and almost every chapter ending in a, "He turned towards me with a look of horror," moment. I really hate that little writing habit of Re I don't know why I keep picking up Kathy Reichs' books - I'm am always disappointed with them. I really hate that little writing habit of Reichs' - it's so TV, just like a mini-cliffhanger before we go to an ad break. I think I'll head to other authors and other series to get my mystery fix in future. Oct 10, Melissa rated it did not like it Shelves: read-gave-away. This book never pulled me into it. Couldn't seem to get to that point where I had a desire to know who did it. Sometimes I had to keep reminding myself what the actual crime was because it all got so lost in a bunch of writing that never really seems to work together for a story. I didn't care for the main character, she would be mad that the guys jumped to conclusions on something then she zeroed in on Bastarache decided he was guilty and acted childish and pouty anytime she was told something t This book never pulled me into it. I didn't care for the main character, she would be mad that the guys jumped to conclusions on something then she zeroed in on Bastarache decided he was guilty and acted childish and pouty anytime she was told something that she didn't want to hear. Toward the end of the book, she gets left with the suspects wife and she takes an in depth phone call at her table? How is that something that would or should happen? Followed by annoyance. Driven by the latter, I clicked on but said nothing. A bit too academic for me. And the names, oh my I wonder what was the Korn lyrics, hmm? I'm digging with my fingertips I'm gripping at the ground I stand upon I'm searching for fragile bones Evolution Jun 15, Susan Burpee added it. I like Kathie Reichs books as a rule. Bones to Ashes is a fun read as far as plot is concerned. The scientific stuff is interesting and the detail on leprosy is fascinating especially since I have heard about the leprosy hospital in New Brunswick from my mum. Reichs needs to make sure that all her detail is accurate, though, not just the scientific stuff. She has a character making reference to the city of Miramichi long before it existed.. Also I found the style a bit annoying at times especially Reichs' tendency to overuse nouns as verbs.

This study investigates this claim through a variety of methods. First, definitions of the CSI effect are discussed, including how it was first used and mentioned in the media. Second, survey data from students in a forensic anthropology course regarding interest in forensic science media and educational and career choices are analyzed.

  • The Real Temperance Brennan: Kathy Reichs and the Rise of Forensic
    The Real Temperance Brennan: Kathy Reichs and the Rise of Forensic Anthropology In North America Through Her Fictional Counterpart By Cheryl Lee, email: [email protected] For Dr. O’Donnell’s Advanced Composition 3130 class, ETSU, 27 Oct. 2011 Picture this: it’s early morning; the sun is shining after days of rain, and you decide to take your dog out for a short run before work. You strap on your jogging shoes, grab a water bottle, leash up your Terrier mix, and head out to the park across the street. After a few minutes of running down your usual path, you trip on your shoelace and you stop to re-tie it. But the moment you stop, your dog starts sniffing around the bushes. Soon he’s yapping and jumping around the nearby shrub. You find his distress odd, since you run this path at least once a week; you step over to the shrub, move the branches around a bit... and come face to face with a human skull, decomposed beyond recognition. Scenes like the one you have just unwittingly stumbled upon call for a rare discipline of expertise: that of forensic anthropology. The discipline is small and relatively new, but forensic anthropology has become well known in the early 21st century through various pop culture media. Its popularity has been pioneered by a couple members of the field, Dr. Temperence Brennan, Dr. Jack Hodgins, and FBI specifically Dr. Kathy Reichs, a forensic Special Agent Seeley Booth from the TV show Bones examining a murder victim. anthropologist who is also a best selling crime novelist and the inspiration for the Bones TV series.
