Flesh and Bone

De: Jefferson Bass

Narrado por: Erik Singer

Dr. Bill Brockton, the founder of the world-famous Body Farm, is hard at work on a troubling new case. A young man's battered body has been found in nearby Chattanooga, and it's up to the talented Dr. Brockton to assemble the pieces of the forensic puzzle. Brockton is brought into the case by the rising star of the state's medical examiners, Jess Carter.

Just as they're on the verge of breaking the case open, events take a terrifying turn. Brockton has re-created the gruesome Chattanooga death scene at the Body Farm, but a killer places another corpse at the site, putting Brockton's career and even his life in jeopardy. Soon Brockton is accused of the horrific new crime, and the once-beloved professor becomes an outcast. Brockton must use all of his forensic skills to prove his own innocence, before he ends up behind bars with some of the very killers he's helped to convict.

Flesh and Bone is another roller-coaster ride into the world of forensic anthropology, raising powerful questions about the nature of justice, loyalty, honor, and evil. This astonishing novel confirms Jefferson Bass as one of our most talented authors of suspense.

Narration Issues

Would you listen to Flesh and Bone again? Why?

No. I would rather read it. The narrator spoke in monotones.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot was intriguing, well woven, and the ending was superb.

What didn’t you like about Erik Singer’s performance?

The narrator sounded like he had a terminal case of ennui.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Fresh forgets; bone remembers.

Any additional comments?

I would love to see the series turned into a film franchise.

Another Great book by Bass!

Well crafted mystery & beautifully narrated! It pulls you in & you can’t listen fast enough to find out what will happen next! Jefferson Bass paints a picture so distinctly with his words that you forget you aren’t actually there with the characters. It’s a must read!

Just OK

Held my attention, but very contrived. Worth hearing, but not highly recommended.

Great Story

This is my second experience with a Jefferson Bass novel. The story gives enough forensic data to learn about the body farm without being dry. The characters are well rounded and believable. I was drawn quickly into the story and stayed there until the end.

too much music between chapters.

The music distracts from the story. It's otherwise it is a great story and narration.

Fantastic story by Jefferson Bass

This was another very (edge of your seat) style of writing that makes you love all of Jefferson Bass's books.

excellent story line, but....

The story is great, love all the books from Dr. Bill Bass. Two related to the Body Farm, and two other fictions co-written by Bass and Jefferson. All the stories, whether the biography of the author or the fictional dectective Dr. Brockton are really intriging, and interesting, captured my total attention. However, unlike the other narrators from the other books, this particular narrator sounded too young for the charactor, Dr. Bill Brockton's charactor is about 58 years old. The narrator sounded no more than 30 years old, with an heavy southern accent, this made the charactor less convincing than the other books.

great read

Very good story with a few twist and turns. Just the right length. Not too much extra that didn't add any thing to the story as some books can. Enjoyed it very much.

AWESOME...

loved it!!! I figured it out by chapter 3 but still enjoyed the play out!!

Wonderful - suspenceful

We loved this story. We listened to it on our way to and from Miami. Even the kids loved it.
The reader was wonderful with his inflections and other voices.

GREAT!!!!!
