Break No Bones - Kathy Reichs ... Temperance Brennan's students are working on a site of prehistoric graves on Dewees, a barrier island north of Charleston, South Carolina, when a decomposing body is uncovered in a shallow grave off a lonely beach... The skeleton is articulated, the bone fresh and the vertebrae still connected by soft-tissue; the remains are encased in rotted fabric and topped by wisps of pale, blond hair - a recent burial, and a case Tempe must take. Dental remains and skeletal gender and race indicators suggest that the deceased is a middle-aged white male - but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? And what does the unusual vertical hairline fracture of the sixth cervical vertebrae signify? While Tempe is trying to piece together the evidence, her personal life is thrown into turmoil. When a bullet - intended, perhaps, for her - puts Tempe's estranged husband Pete in hospital, her unexpectedly emotional response complicates her on-off relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan... But before long, another body is discovered - and Tempe finds herself drawn deeper into a shocking and chilling investigation, set to challenge her entire view of humanity...

When all three end up sharing time under the same roof, there is more than a little tension at first that slowly begins to unravel as the trio find themselves getting involved in far more than Tempe could ever have bargained for when she first began excavating her dig... Break no bones is by no means the best of Reich's work to date but it is far from the worst and even on an off-day, she is still able to leave h...more

I am a fan of American TV shows and have been known to rent or buy entire box sets and watch them in a couple of weeks.

It did not take me long to realise that the characters in the series were based on a set of popular books by ... Read the complete review
