Kathy Reichs
Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy -- and the case. Someone made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call was dead. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third.
Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror as she's held captive and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs conveys the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds. Reichs is writing at the top of her game.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I had read all the Tempe Brennan books preceding Cross Bones. That book was a big letdown -- found it mindnumbingly boring. Plus the series was on TV and I was getting a new mental picture of Tempe (and never liked Booth--Ryan rules). In short I gave up on Kathy Reichs. But I just gave her another chance with 206 Bones, and it was great! Now I'm backtracking to buy the books between the dud and the winner, in hopes of finding more winners. I'd heartily recommend 206 Bones. It's the Tempe I know and love - warm, caring, smart but not dysfunctionally so - teetering on the edge re her feelings about Ryan, and -- far from ruling the roost -- almost up to her neck in some hot water at work.Who was your favorite character and why?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes -- gripping story, excellent narrator. I listened to this book while on a multi-day car trip. I was really sad when it ended, but fortunately there were only a few hours left.What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoyed the destructive coworker plot line. I also enjoyed the forensics (it's very interesting). Who knew that teeth could tell you so much about a person?Which scene was your favorite?
The ending scene. Although all the parts with Tempe's cat Bird are also fun -- I love the way she talks to Bird (I talk to my cat the same way).Any additional comments?
The twisting, puzzle plot was the best part. And the narrator made a great book a pleasure to listen to.Great

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the book to a friend that is familiar with Kathy Reichs' novels and is aware that there is alot of science and detail in the book.Who was your favorite character and why?
I always like Andrew Ryan. He adds a dash of humor and makes Tempe more human.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to listen to the book all in one sitting - but it was a bit long for that! I found it best to listen in as condensed a time-frame as possible because of all of the detail and also because of the quick changes in scenery from current time to flash-back.Any additional comments?
I've read comments about the amount of technical detail in the book. This is normal for Kathy Reichs' books. Temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist - the details are necessary to move the story forward and explain what she's doing for us normal people! Also, there have been comments about the French. The book is set in Montreal for at least 1/2 of the book...this means that if the author is being realistic and authentic, there will be some French. I found that the author provided translations for all of the French words and phrases used that were not immediately clear (such as expletives where a translation wasn't needed because the meaning was implied!).Great Bones Book!
