Deadly Decisions

Deadly Decisions (1999) Kathy Reichs

Tempe is finishing her final exams and teaching her workshop at Quantico when she receives a call from Montreal asking her to come back to work early, as they received a case requiring her expertise. These bombing victims and the death of a nine year old girl caught in the crossfire lead Tempe to become involved in the investigation of biker gangs operating in Montreal.

Tempe is also trying to figure out her relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan, a situation that becomes almost immediately more complex.

And into the middle of this involvement drops Tempe’s nephew, Kit. He’s 19, at loose ends, and once again arguing with his father, so he crashes with his favorite aunt.

As usual there’s lost of interesting scientific and forensic stuff. This time the new bit was blood spatter. Pretty neat.

I still have issues with some of the “coincidences” that occur, but the books are otherwise fascinating and enjoyable to I just place those coincidences into my suspension of disbelief bin and get on with the story.

These books are written so you should easily be able to start anywhere in the series without having read the previous books.
