In the year since Temperance Brennan left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Quebec. When a female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in trash bags, Tempe detects an alarming pattern -- and she plunges into a harrowing search for a killer.

    <body><![CDATA[This started off as a slow burner for me. Though, it was really the first crime book I've read so getting into the style of writing was a bit of a challenge for me. However, around page 250, when I was about to give up completely, the story seemed to pick up &amp; I was completely immersed in the story....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59390953">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first of the books that inspired the hit show Bones. I had randomly seen the show before but really started watching it this last year. I just finished watching the first season by way of netflix when I decided to try the books. I hadn't seen that little credit before and didn't know the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69475829">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This seemed like a good place to start for all the fun reading I plan to do on my semester off from school. Temperance Brennan is more endearing than some heroes of the mystery genre. Often, detective-type protagonists display a little too much macho posturing. Reichs' character admits she's afraid ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43685934">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's well-written, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped (or as much as I had enjoyed Cross Bones, which is farther along in the series). I had two major complaints: first, it's a little heavy on the details and light on the action. Don't get me wrong - there is action, and there are par...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50730661">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the show on Fox called Bones. People in my group Novel Ladies were talking about how it was based on a series. I had no freakin' idea! <br/><br/>This is the first book in her Temperance Brennan series. Despite the book's length, I finished it very quickly. It was a fast paced mystery (simil...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52289291">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Kathy Reichs's books are infinitely better than the show based on them, <em>Bones</em>, not that that's saying much. This is one of those books where the setting -- in this case Montreal -- is practically a character (as opposed to <em>Bones</em>, which they for some reason transported to Washington, DC, probably so ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54954202">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A decent suspense story, but Déjà Dead suffers a little from 2D characterization and an emphasis on office politics. The protagonist, Temperance Brennan, is a little too Nancy Drew, forensic anthropologist - I found myself wishing it was more about the perspective of the forensic anthropologist (R...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56416555">more...</a>]]></body>
