Resumen del Editor

It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police.

One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab. Something about the crime scene is familiar to Tempe: the stashing of the body parts; the meticulous dismemberment. As a pattern continues to emerge, Tempe calls upon all her forensic skills, including bone, tooth/dental, and bitemark analysis and x-ray microflourescence to convince the police that the cases are related and to try to stop the killer before he strikes again.

Told with lacerating authenticity and passion, Déjà Dead is both poignant and terrifying as it hurtles toward its breathtaking conclusion and instantly catapults Kathy Reich into the top ranks of crime authors.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Accomplished and chilling." ( People)

"Kathy Reichs knows how to put all [of her] exotic experience into a novel....Quebec's own Southern gal give[s] Cornwell a run for the money." (Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail)

"What makes Déjà Dead so compelling, in addition to the authoritative descriptions of how a forensic scientist 'reads' the story the bones tell, is the character of Brennan - smart, persistent, gutsy, ironic yet vulnerable." (Judy Stoffman, Toronto Star)

Terrible performance

The narrator was constantly drawing sharp breaths and sounded like she had something in her mouth. When you listen using headphones, it makes you nauseous. I will never listen to anything narrated by her

Can't get over the narration

Wish I had realized who the narrator was before I ordered. She is a great narrator, EXCEPT for the emphysema, or whatever causes the (hard to ignore) breaths between every sentence. Recorded Books, if you are going to use her as a narrator, please get a filtering microphone that doesn't let us hear every breath. I get so caught up on her next breath, that I can't follow the story!

Reader has something in mouth

Barbara Rosenblat sounds like she has a hard candy or something in her mouth all through the book. Did not enjoy her moving it around constantly. I like Kathy Reichs books but can't listen to this reader again.

Horrible nattator

Would you listen to Deja Dead again? Why?

I loved this book but she is now Barbara Rossenblat. Dont know if I can do this with a new nattaror

How could the performance have been better?

Better reader

Great narration, frustrating protagonist.

Rosenblat is flawless, but the protagonist consistently acts like a blonde in a horror movie.

Awesome

I have heard many of her books, but this has been the best sitar. Exciting and interesting!

Great book to listen to very interesting

Loved the book!! I will listen to other books from this author. There intriguing, suspenseful

A favorite!

I come back to these Kathy Reichs books time and time again. They were my favorites before they were recorded and only the great Barbara Rosenblatt could do them justice in audio format. Beginning the series again is like coming home.
