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.

It is a boiling summer in Boston. Adding to the city's woes is a series of shocking crimes that end in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: "The Surgeon," serial killer Warren Hoyt, known for his partial dissection of his victims, and recently thrown behind bars. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires.

Tess Gerritsen was a successful internist who left her practice to focus on her children and her writing. Gerritsen's medical suspense novels have consistently won critical and fan acclaim, and now, with The Surgeon, she delivers her most gripping work.

Complex plot, but worth the read.

I love the intricacies of Kathy Reichs stories,and this one was certainly intricate, with names I couldn't keep straight and a Geordian Knot of events and place names that kept me confused. I speak French so that was not the problem; keeping the improperly pronounced medical terms and French words straight was.
Despite my occasional irritation as described, I REALLY enjoyed this book!

Swearing distracting

The story line is good. There were some unexpected turns. I cringe at the profanity and would rather it be not there.

Decent story, poorly performed

What did you love best about Deadly Decisions?

I am a fan of all Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan books. I especially appreciate audiobooks because I can listen in the car - and I am in the car A LOT.

Would you be willing to try another one of Lorelei King’s performances?

NO - this is an AWFUL listen. I actually considered stopping, because of how poorly it was read. Making your voice louder or softer is not all that is needed to hear the tone, inflection, pacing and pattern of a good book. Spoken pieces should not sound exactly the same as description pieces. This was absolutely an awful listen.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend any of Reich's books read by Linda Emmond or Katherine Borowitz.

ANOTHER SOLID KATHY REICHS STORY

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES. IF THE FRIEND WAS A FAN OF KATHY REICHS OR PATRICIA CORNWELL. BOTH AUTHORS GO INTO LABORIOUS DETAIL ABOUT THEIR WORK IN THE LAB.

What other book might you compare Deadly Decisions to and why?

THE BOOK IS VERY MUCH LIKE KATHY REICHS OTHER STORIES OR ANY OF PATRICIA CORNWELL'S BOOKS.

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

"TEMPE" THE MAIN CHARACTER. SHE'S DEDICATED AND DETERMINED

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I listened in small doses.

A little disappointing

Where does Deadly Decisions rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not at the top of my list--and I LOVE this series

What did you like best about this story?

Interesting how the saga of the characters continues.

Did Lorelei King do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I found her attempts at accents to be distracting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Maybe in 2 sittings!

Any additional comments?

Lots of detail and explanation given to Dr Brennan that I would expect she would already know. May have been done for reader's benefit, but most were read by narrator very quick and flat and lowered quality of the "read".
