Deadly Decisions

A Novel

De: Kathy Reichs

Narrado por: Katherine Borowitz

When innocent blood is spilled, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan deciphers the shattering truth it holds in this exciting thriller from #1 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.©2000 Kathy Reichs, All Rights Reserved; (P)2000 Simon & Schuster, Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

A bit hard to follow

A decent mystery, but filled with too-neat coincidences and mysterious motivations. I have not read others in this series and this one did not make me particularly eager to do so.
The listless reader did nothing to bring the story to life. I think there's some wry humor there, but it doesn't come through in the reading. The French names, pronounced oh-so-correctly by the reader, were hard to understand in an audio version and sometimes made the story hard to follow.

Good Solid Read

I love Bones. Whether it's the TV show or the books This was a good tight story and an excellent performance.

I did not remember this book.

I read the first dozen books in this series when they came out. This is not one that stood out for me. I am guessing the motor cycle gangs was the reason at the time. Over the last fifteen years or so I have had the pleasure of getting to know some motorcycle club members and see some of the things they do. Some of the"rides" they do are amazing.
Knowing that side of the clubs made this an enjoyable book for me.

I look forward to listening to many more over the next week or so.

Biker gangs, who knew?

Interesting. The main character does seem to have a way with getting into dangerous situations and the ones around her seem to have the same fate. Good thing she is normally around police officers.

Good read

Another good Reichs book, also good reading.
