Monday Mourning<\/em> (2004) Kathy Reichs<\/a><\/p>\n

\"monday_mourning\"<\/a>Tempe is back in Montreal, and back to having problems with Andrew Ryan. (sigh)<\/p>\n

Bones are discovered under a pizza parlor, and although Tempe thinks they may be recent, she’ll have to prove they aren’t a century old before the police will investigate how three very young women ended up buried in a basement, on atop the other. Tempe’s feeling that the bones are from more recent murders is bolstered by a phone call from an elderly woman wanting to tell her something she saw happening at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

First, I sincerely hope that this will be the end of the issues between Tempe and Ryan. I am sorely tired of the melodrama. Every book ends with things going well, and then the following books starts with confusion and problems. There’s plenty of intrigue with the mysteries, thank you.<\/p>\n

Second, although the mystery was good, there were a couple times when I thought Tempe was being oblivious. It may have been the way things were set up, but I had a definite moment of, “Oh you really aren’t going to… she did. Of course she did,” that was a bit frustrating.<\/p>\n

A warning, this mystery was rather disturbing. Not that murder mysteries aren’t disturbing in general, but some of the details in this story were particularly distressing. So you may want to be aware of that when reading this book.<\/p>\n

You should easily be able to read this book if you haven’t read previous books in the series, although I don’t think this is the strongest book in the series, and am not sure I’d recommend starting here.
