206 Bones
From Déjà Dead to Break No Bones, fans just can’t get enough of New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs and forensic anthropologist, Temperance Brennan. Now Reichs, a producer of Bones, the hit TV drama inspired by her life and work, returns with her 12th novel featuring Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan.
There are 206 bones in the adult human body. Tempe knows every one of them. What she doesn’t know is how she wound up unconscious in a small, dark, cold enclosed space. Bound hands to feet, in pain from an injury to her ankle, she begins, slowly, to remember.…
Tempe and Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe is accused of mishandling the autopsy and the case; someone has made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call is dead, and Tempe is left, literally, in the dark. Who wants Tempe dead—or at least out of the way—and why?
Seamlessly weaving between the case of the heiress and a new investigation that may or may not be related, Reichs intensifies the chemistry between Tempe and Ryan while delivering one of her tightest, most twisted mysteries yet.

Another Great Story From Kathy Reichs 
May 05, 2010
Always true to her character, this was another can't-put-down read from Kathy Reichs! If you're new to the series it always helps to start with earlier books and work your way up to get the character background.

Good read
March 31, 2010
Even though the plot sometimes got bogged down with lots of forensic details, it was a good read. We learned a little more about Temperance and her family, which I enjoyed. If I had not read all the rest of the books, it might have been difficult to follow some of the story line like what was up with Ryan and his daughter, but that is usually the case with sequential books. All in all, I liked it.

Reichs is Back!
March 22, 2010
I really enjoyed this book--not her best, but I liked it! I've read them all, and found some of her recent books not quite up to par, but this one seemed more like her earlier ones.
I thought the cases were interesting, and I liked how they were tied together at the end. I had suspicions of who was the "bad guy" but never really was sure until the end. There was lots of Ryan in this story, which has been lacking recently, so that made me happy, too. All in all, a good read.

Not up to par
February 20, 2010
Even though I like the Temperance series, this one contains a lot of jargon and forensic detail. It also jumps around all over the place with regard to cases. T. and Ryan should either get it together or drop it. All that said, Reichs still rocks!

Not Reichs best work
December 13, 2009
Kathy Reichs new novel 206 Bones has an excellent plot that moves too slowly due to too much tedious (Tempe's/Reichs own word pg. 87) anthropological jargon and repition of case elements. This would have been another outstanding novel had Reichs left out the forensic editorializing and developed the characters interpersonal relationships more. Still worth the read.
