I wanted to start reading this series because I love the TV show Bones. I had a hard time getting thru the first few chapters. I kept going because of a review I saw that recommended this book.. just get thru the first few chapters. Boy am I glad I did! I can't wait to purchase the rest of the series!
"Another Level..."

Kathy Reichs takes the genre to another level with intelligent "whodunits" that entertain and educate. I've read every book she has written, most within days of their release. She is able to spin a yarn that feels real and makes your heart beat faster. You may be inclined to miss a meal (or even an appointment) between the covers of any one of her literary endeavors. The only down side is that she has spoiled me, and I have difficulty enjoying my pre Reichs favs...James who? Patricia who? The Kellerman clan does help get me through between Reichs releases...( Jonathan,Faye,Jesse) If Kathy Reichs is ever in your area...she is even more interesting "live"! Very smart, entertaining, articulate...gracious with a quick wit...all of the above shines through in her writing. Definately can't go wrong...start at the beginning of the series to get the most out of the character development. Enjoy!
This book has been coming up on my on my amazon recommendation list for quite some time so I finally decided to give it a shot.
I'll admit it took me a while to get into this one. Not because it started off slow and surely not because I didn't like the main character. It just happened that the more I read and the more the personality of Tempe Brennan came to light over the course of the book the more I enjoyed it.
This is a good solid mystery. I enjoy forensic types of books. I'm a fan of Robin Cook and I also enjoy Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the ARt of Death series. While that takes place hundreds of years ago, it still deals with a savvy forensic doctor of sorts that seems to get in way over her head. Deja Dead is a modern version of that so it's right up my alley.
Tempe Brennan goes above and beyond her job description and puts togehter the peices of a series related murders that even the police are reluctant to do. They don't want to think that it's a possible serial killer but Tempe's hunch proves them wrong and gets her into a lot of trouble as a result!
I'm definetly going to read the other books in this series because it seems to me that Tempe's character is only going to get more interesting as she reveals more of herself chapter by chapter, and I want to see where Reichs takes the character.
A good read for anybody who's a fan of a good forensic mystery.
"Intense, Impressive, Imaginative, Definitely on the Gory Side"
Not that anyone would seriously consider handing this book to a kid, but just in case you were, um, don't. This book is definitely intense. The descriptions of the bodies are detailed and rather graphic... all too realistic.
That said, the pacing seems to be a bit off at times, but there are definite intense spikes where things pick up very quickly. I think this too seems to follow a "realistic" pattern. Movies may have us thinking killers are caught in a heartbeat but it can take months, even years. I'm no cop, but anyone can see it's boredom, boredom, boredom, TERROR (sometimes) for many.
The writing's not the best I've ever read, but I expect that has to do with this being a first novel. Room for improvement is not a bad thing.
I mainly picked the book up b/c I like the tv show Bones. The only thing the two Tempe Brennan characters share is a name, which I found quite amusing. Still, a worthwhile read if you're into the crime/ drama type book.

If you like Patricia Cromwell books, you will love Katherine Reich. She is much better..
