Bones to Ashes (Temperance Brennan 10)
This 10th novel in her Temperance Brennan series is much better than the last one, Break no Bones. Unlike Bones the TV show, the original Brennan is more integrated in the world, has an ex, a daughter, a sister, an off and on beau. This novel delves into Brennan's childhood and the disappearance of her best friend Évangéline when Brennan was 12. One of the major pecks for me reading Reichs is that her stories take place where I live. I know these locations, I can see the characters, hear the sounds of the story. The plot points are a bit gruesome, the science is fun, I got a bit annoyed with all the French/english translation but I can understand why it's there but I wish she would decided and just translate the titles and names. Her public is english speaking. The French translation will have the correct names and the original will be less awkward to read. The plot moves along at a good pace and the reader doesn't get bored. A good new chapter in the life of Temperance Brennan but still Reichs leaves us with some things unresolved to keep us interested and have us seek the next book.
