Bones Never Lie

A Novel

By: Kathy Reichs

Narrated by: Katherine Borowitz

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The evidence is irrefutable: In sixteen New York Times bestsellers over the course of as many years, Kathy Reichs has proven herself “a genius at building suspense” (New York Daily News). In forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, Reichs has created a detective fiction heroine who’s brilliant to the bone. “Every minute in the morgue with Tempe is golden,” says The New York Times Book Review. In the acclaimed author’s thrilling new novel, Brennan is at the top of her game in a battle of wits against the most monstrous adversary she has ever encountered.

Unexpectedly called in to the Charlotte PD’s Cold Case Unit, Dr. Temperance Brennan wonders why she’s been asked to meet with a homicide cop who’s a long way from his own jurisdiction. The shocking answer: Two child murders, separated by thousands of miles, have one thing in common—the killer. Years ago, Anique Pomerleau kidnapped and murdered a string of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture. It was a devastating defeat for her pursuers, Brennan and police detective Andrew Ryan. Now, as if summoned from their nightmares, Pomerleau has resurfaced in the United States, linked to victims in Vermont and North Carolina. When another child is snatched, the reign of terror promises to continue—unless Brennan can rise to the challenge and make good on her second chance to stop a psychopath.

But Brennan will have to draw her bitter ex-partner out of exile, keep the local police and feds from one another’s throats, and face more than just her own demons as she stalks the deadliest of predators into the darkest depths of madness.

In Bones Never Lie, Kathy Reichs never fails to satisfy readers looking for psychological suspense that’s more than skin-deep.

Loved the story

her stories always keep me interested. There were some twists that I wasn't expecting. I wasn't keen on the reader though.

Best one so far!

Amazing. The culprit was predictable but the ending sentiment of “even the damaged cannot be allowed to cause damage” was so strong.

The details of the characters and settings were extremely illuminating.

The story lagged and slow at certain times and could have been much shorter. You could see the abduction of Mary Louise long before it occurred.

Bones

I enjoy the Temperance Brennan series of books, thank you ! I also watch Bones series on DVD !

Good entertaining mystery

Would you consider the audio edition of Bones Never Lie to be better than the print version?

Don't know. I either listen or read, I don't do both.

What did you like best about this story?

The suspense, the mystery, trying to figure out "who done it".

What does Katherine Borowitz bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has a good voice. Easy to listen to. Brings credibility to the story with her voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Any additional comments?

I have read or listened to all of Kathy Reichs books. I enjoy her work.
