Description

When innocent blood is spilled, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan deciphers the shattering truth it holds in this exciting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs.

Nine-year-old Emily Anne Toussaint is fatally shot on a Montreal street. A North Carolina teenager disappears from her home, and parts of her skeleton are found hundreds of miles away. These shocking deaths propel Tempe Brennan from north to south, and deep into a shattering investigation inside the bizarre culture of outlaw motorcycle gangs—where one misstep could bring disaster for herself or someone she loves.

From blood-splatter patterns and ground-penetrating radar to bone-sample analysis, Deadly Decisions triumphantly combines the authenticity of a world-class forensic professional with the narrative power of a brilliant crime-writing star.

    Loved her first book in this series, but 2&3 read like an attempt to put a textbook in a novel. Cults, now bikers...Stories are good, but characters are almost lost in the information overkill. Reichs doesn’t seem to be able to let Tempe do her job really well without forcing us to sit through too much explanation about a plot element. I skipped many pages!

    Reichs write a good story! She writes great characters! The action can be intense, and the suspense can keep you guessing. The murders take place in 2 countries, and over long time spans. I found the story fascinating!

    Well edited, but the story never grabbed me and the characters were irritating in their stupidity, rather than like able.

    Why is chapter one 1 page that end with a coma? Not off to a good start.
