Fatal Voyage

Fatal Voyage (2001) Kathy Reichs

This time Tempe finds herself in the North Carolina woods helping with the recovery of a plane crash.

The forensics this time were about recovering bodies from a terrible accident, and the procedures used not only in the chain of evidence, but also to put the remains of the victims together. Also, we got a brief look at the analysis that can help determine whether a soil was near a decomposing corpse.

I really liked the mystery this time. I’m resigned to the fact that Tempe is going to keep getting herself into trouble, so am ignoring that for the mysteries and this one was good.

END SPOILERS

As with the previous books, you should be able to read Fatal Voyage without having read the previous books in the series. I’m definitely enjoying this series, both the forensic science and the mystery.
