Kathy Reichs, Death du Jour (Arrow, 1999)

Death du Jour is the first book I've read in 2003 that made me want to not put it down until I had turned the final page. It's well over twice as long as most of the novels I've read over the course of this year, and yet it took me less time than many of them to get through.

Death du Jour is the first book I've read in 2003 that made me want to not put it down until I had turned the final page. It's well over twice as long as most of the novels I've read over the course of this year, and yet it took me less time than many of them to get through. It does have its problems, but readability is certainly not one of them.

Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who divides her time between North Carolina and Quebec, is in the latter province as the story opens, sifting through the supposed grave of a nun who is being proposed for beatification. Things don't go as planned. Not long after she gets home, she's called to the scene of a devastating house fire to check out a few more bodies. Things don't go as planned. She gets caught up in the twin mysteries of the nun and the house fire, and off we go.

The best thing about the book is its compelling readability. Reichs makes her work unputdownable through throwing clues, monkeywrenches, and events at the reader nonstop from the first chapter till the last. There's never a let-up, no pause for breathing. And this in a novel that tops four hundred pages; it's like making an Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick that runs six hours. Few people are going to try, fewer still will succeed. Reichs manages it well here.

The bad thing about the book, and yes, there is one, is its predictability. There are many points in the book where something happens and it's obvious to the reader how the event connects into the whole puzzle, even while it escapes the police, the main character, and everyone else in the novel. When it comes right down to it, the mystery isn't really much of a mystery; it's more a police procedural than anything else. Or it would be if it weren't trying so hard to be a mystery.

Still, that's not a reason to dismiss a book that hooks a reader this quickly and this decisively. Death du Jour is the perfect way to kill a weekend, a fast-paced, easy read that will make the hours fly by as you wander through the world of Tempe Brennan. **** (less)

First, you need to know that this is her second book. Deja Dead from 1997 was a great ride, taking the reader into the world of anthropological forensics and shining a bright light on a murder investigation from a new point of view.

Tempe Brennan is the main character in both books and she mirrors Reichs's own life in a way: Both shuttle between the US and Canada working as forensic anthropologists. The intrigue of a new angle, excellent writing, and a series of distinct voices of the characters make this a tough book to put down.

Reichs takes Tempe into the jaw-clenching cold of a Montreal winter to dig up the bones of a nun. You want to wrap your blanket a little tighter, because the descriptions of the climate and the delicate work of digging for graves is precise and puts the reader right there.

Soon, she's off to a burnt-up house to sort out the remains of the inhabitants. The descriptions are both gruesome and fascinating. She describes the process of putting the pieces together and is just clinical enough for you to feel that you've stepped away from the horror, yet you still have the sense of loss. I look at it as a good way to learn about things second-hand. Reichs is, after all, an expert and a responsible writer.

Tempe's commitments, both personal and professional, keep piling up yet she keeps her sharp sense of humor. This is why I like the character so much. She overextends herself, and then things just keep happening to add to her already full plate. She keeps going while she loses sleep over the nine thousand things going on in her life. She mentions a dream where she has to take an exam but never attended the class. I have that dream. This woman is my personal hero.

She encounters a cult and its odd members, debates with herself about the merits of having or not having a relationship with a homicide detective, and uncovers links between seemingly unrelated events. She even gets a crash course in primate behavior and the nature of insects acting on corpses.

Reichs is very talented. She offers up a great plot and believable characters. The writing is clean and entertaining. Think Patricia Cornwell without the know-it-allness. I mentioned in a previous review that my friend the Lieutenant dislikes Cornwell for that reason. Well, I think he'll dig this book. (less)

One of a series featuring forensic anthropologist Temperence Brennan. I had read a novel in the series ~ 10 years ago, and had some issues with the fact that the character got into some unbelievable situations because she put herself at risk where any sane normal person would not.

I have to admit...I was a little disenchanted with this book during the early goings. It seemed a little disjointed to me. Brennan is paid to discover the truth behind a local nun from the past who is held in high regard in Canada and is up to become a saint. From there it turns into a series of bodies found both in Brennan's regular home in North Carolina as well as her 'summer' home of Canada. In between, more bodies are discovered and Brennan, in a wrong place/wrong time scenario, is the one...more

The second Temperance Brennan book is a languid slow-burner in comparison to the debut. Brennan doesn't seem as active in this book, but that gives it a more realistic feel than the implausible insertion into the murder investigation in the first book. Reichs may have taken some pointers from an editor in this second book, because there is more reliance on the cliffhanger at the end of chapters. Most annoying, the thing she sees when she exhumes the nun's body at the start of the book is not rev...more

In the last story she had a best friend. In this novel her sister filled the same roll. Her friend and sister had similar characters (both scatterbrained and hard to reason with) and both got into trouble.

Tempe è un’antropologa forense che insegna all’Università del North Carolina e lavora presso il laboratorio di scienze giudiziarie e di medicina legale della provincia del Quebec. E’ divorziata con una figlia al college, ha una sorella stramba e un collega affascinante dagli occhi azzurri. Sostanzialmente nel libro Tempe fa quello che fanno gli antropologi forensi: analizza le ossa dei cadaveri. E quindi la narrazione è ricca di descrizioni di traumi, fratture, incisioni, insetti e resti di tessuti molli in decomposizione. Non mancano le digressioni scientifiche sui metodi di raccolta delle informazioni e sull’analisi dei dati riscontrati, e non si tratta di tecniche fantascientifiche (come quelle che di solito si vedono nei telefilm :>), ma le azioni che compie Brennan nel suo laboratorio, sono le stesse che compie la Reichs che, prima di essere una scrittrice di successo, è un’affermata antropologa forense.
La trama è complicata e solo alla fine si ha un quadro d’insieme esaustivo, o almeno per me è stato così. Spesso l’autrice non ci comunica subito le conclusioni o le scoperte che fanno i vari personaggi, salvo poi venirne a conoscenza molti capitoli più in là, magari attraverso i resoconti che i personaggi in questione comunicano l’un l’altro. Ritengo che questo sia un espediente molto banale per tentare di far aumentare la tensione, suspense da quattro soldi, ed è una cosa che mi ha irritato molto leggendo perché a me mancava sempre un tassello per capire, mentre il personaggio aveva già ricevuto l’illuminazione. In sostanza, facendo un paragone con le avventure grafiche, è come quando raccogli un oggetto o compi un’azione senza sapere perché; a me piacciono molto di più quelle in cui i vari oggetti si sbloccano man mano che ti servono.
Per quanto mi riguarda, quindi, il libro ha prodotto tensione pressoché nulla, anche se il voler sapere come andasse a finire mi ha spinto a leggerlo con foga. Questo significa che non ritengo il libro proprio da buttare, l’averlo finito rapidamente indica che l’ho trovato interessante, a differenza di altri libri lasciati a metà per quanto fossero noiosi e insulsi. Tutto sommato è una lettura che scivola semplicemente, anche se magari l’autrice aveva altri scopi.

L’aspetto stilistico è quello che mi ha lasciato più insoddisfatta, anche se me lo aspettavo. I periodi sono semplicissimi e spesso troppo sintetici, ma se consideriamo che a scrivere è una “scienziata” risulta una cosa normale, anzi la chiarezza espositiva è senza dubbio da ammirare. Il lessico, quando non si arricchisce di termini specifici, è molto elementare. L’autrice ha la tendenza ad abbondare in descrizioni capziose e particolareggiate e questo per me è un difetto in quanto, spesso, la lettura diventa noiosa e il lettore si trova immerso in una serie di dettagli inutili. Io ritengo che non tutte le descrizioni debbano puntare sulla perfetta riproduzione dell’ambiente circostante, in certi frangenti un resoconto meno preciso ma più “sentito” è la scelta migliore. Quindi ben venga una descrizione dettagliatissima sull’arma del delitto, sulle ferite, sulla scena del crimine, ma ti prego non mi descrivere come si vestono i personaggi, a partire dalla protagonista. Chi se ne frega se indossa la tuta, i jeans o il pigiama? L’autrice si dilunga molto su questo genere di resoconti e spezza troppo spesso la narrazione, così se c’era un briciolo di tensione si esaurisce all’istante.(less)

Mmm, forensic anthropology.

Death du Jour was much better than Déjà Dead, which was a first novel anyway; I was pleasantly surprised. It does fall victim to that classic murder mystery flaw, i.e. the convenient coincidence (murders in three different locations the protagonist happens to be in of course turn out to be related!).

Don't read these books expecting to find anything from the show, other than Tempe, but even then, the character is vastly differently imagined on tv. However, that's not a bad thing for either medium. The show was inspired by, not based on, the books. A lot of the ideas are the same, and there is a Booth-like character named Detective Ryan. But here we're set in Montreal and the Tempe in the books actually understands cultural references.

Death du Jour starts out with Tempe investigating the burial of a nun from 100 years ago, to help the sisters prove a case for sainthood to the Pope. Soon she is called in to help investigate on a house fire, in which the bodies of an old woman, two babies, and a couple are found.

Tempe's sister, Harry, shows up, flirting with Ryan and wreaking havoc on Tempe's life, and when Tempe returns to her home in South Caroline, more bodies turn up that she is pulled in to examine. As with any good mystery novel, you know all the deaths, no matter how spread apart in location and seeming relevance, must be related somehow, but I was kept guessing right along with Tempe -- I had no effing idea how they could possibly have anything in common.

Reichs writing style is also a pleasure to read. It's not flowery, but the scientific jargon makes up for that. Technical terms aside, it's written with an intelligent voice, and this lifted it from the realms of a drug-store paperback to me. She has an irritating, if intentional, way of not telling the reader something when her characters discover it -- we're told there was an earth-shattering discovery, then the chapter ends, and suddenly it's the next day. It kept me reading long past bedtime.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys Bones, or who is looking for a good murder novel to read. However, as I said before, don't go into it waiting to find the characters of Angela and Hodgins and Booth -- not there. But the spirit remains the same. (less)
