The Bone Code Volume 20

A Temperance Brennan Novel

De: Kathy Reichs

Narrado por: Linda Emond

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs’s twentieth “brilliant” (Louise Penny) thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, whose examinations of unidentified bodies ignite a terrifying series of events. “This is A-game Reichs, with crisp prose, sharp dialogue, and plenty of suspense” (Booklist).

On the way to hurricane-ravaged Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South Carolina coast, Tempe receives a call from the Charleston coroner. The storm has tossed ashore a medical waste container. Inside are two decomposed bodies wrapped in plastic and bound with electrical wire. Tempe recognizes many of the details as identical to those of an unsolved case she handled in Quebec fifteen years earlier. With a growing sense of foreboding, she travels to Montreal to gather evidence.

Meanwhile, health authorities in South Carolina become increasingly alarmed as a human flesh-eating contagion spreads. So focused is Tempe on identifying the container victims that, initially, she doesn’t register how their murders and the pestilence may be related. But she does recognize one unsettling fact. Someone is protecting a dark secret—and willing to do anything to keep it hidden.

An absorbing look at the sinister uses to which genetics can be put and featuring a cascade of ever-more-shocking revelations, The Bone Code is “a murder mystery story that races across America at the speed of fright” (James Patterson).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Emond's performance mirrors the story's forward drive while giving space for astute listeners to participate in solving the puzzle."

The Bone Code

One of her best stories, makes you hate the bad. . . no just plain evil person. A story for our present time . . . or maybe older then we might think!

Genealogist’s delight!

Being a genealogist working with family dna, I loved this storyline. Another winner for Kathy Reichs.

Wonderful

I'm so glad Kathy Reichs wrote a new book to add to her series, so good.

And a good story and a great narrator but…

Small tip. Beaufort South Carolina is not pronounced with the French phonetic pronunciation. I know, I know, it’s a southern thing but it is pronounced “Bewfert”

Another great story

Love the actor ‘s reading. Story had many faucets. I did guess the bad guys, long before it was revealed though.

Great Tempe book

I thought this book was very interesting considering the current events and DNA research. I like Tempe and Ryan's easy relationship. I'm looking forward to the next Tempe book. I thought Linda Emond did a great narration.

Gripping story

Kathy Reichs is one of the few authors that I will pre-purchase a book from. This one did not disappoint. Beautifully written as usual, character development excellent, and once again Tempe and Ryan’s relationship is amusing and engaging. Can’t wait for her next book.

Great book in a great series

Excellent story line with very current and fast-paced subject matter. Fantastic reader - one of the best I’ve listened to.
