Break No Bones<\/em> (2006) Kathy Reichs<\/a><\/p>\n

\"break_no_bones\"<\/a>Tempe Brennan is teaching a special summer anthropology course and running a dig in Charleston, South Carolina when her students discover bones that are not ancient, but are instead relatively fresh–a corpse that’s appeared in the last decade instead of the last millennium.<\/p>\n

Things get even more complex when the coroner–who is a friend–asks Tempe to help with the autopsy as the forensic anthropologist. Even worse, Tempe’s ex-husband is headed to town for a case he’s working on.<\/p>\n

First and foremost: Good GRIEF is this woman EVER going to get her love life settled?! GAH! I’m really tired of her relationship with Andrew Ryan–not because of him, but because she can’t make up her freaking mind. ENOUGH ALREADY! Poo or get off the pot already!<\/p>\n

ahem.<\/p>\n

OK. Moving right along to the rest of the book.<\/p>\n

Aside from her abysmal love life, I really like Tempe and I really like these mysteries. There were plenty of twists and turns, and I thought the thread with Emma was very well done. I like how things developed, not just how Tempe was convinced to stay in town and help with the bodies, but how their relationship developed. <\/p>\n

If only we could have gotten past the whole Ryan versus Pete bit.<\/p>\n

The forensics were also interesting, and although we didn’t get much of a new lesson in dead people this book, I do like the subjects she wanders into with her books. (I shan’t tell you what that subject is, since that would give away the story.)<\/p>\n

So the story was good, but would have been a lot better without the ridiculous love triangle. Gag.
