The books in Kathy Reichs' Bones series are either really, really good or merely decent, and this newest installment fell into the latter category. I think my level of enjoyment depends on how interested I am in the murder mystery.

I think my level of enjoyment depends on how interested I am in the murder mystery.

I was annoyed with the level of "catch up" Reichs did - I can understand wanting a new reader to be able to pick up any Bones book and understand the players, but by the 11th book in the series, I really don't need to spend pages on what Tempe's job is, who her co-workers are, a detailed chronology of her dating life, etc. I've spent a lot of time with you, Kathy and Tempe. Just hit me with the story.

I was also disappointed that a pivotal conversation between Tempe and Andrew Ryan was reduced to Tempe relating it after the fact in a few sentences. After spending 10 books being invested in the on-again, off-again relationship, it was so odd that Reichs didn't flesh it out and let us in on it.

The introduction of a new potential date for Tempe also confirmed what I thought all along - Reichs can't (won't?) write more than one type of love interest. I'd always thought Pete and Ryan were identical, characterized mainly by their witty, combative personalities. Now Charlie, a man Tempe knows from their high school days, tries to date her, and lo and behold, he's exactly the same as the other two!

I've resigned myself to the fact that these books are rather formulaic, and that they'll always end with Tempe in mortal danger, which leads to her missing out on how the police put the final pieces together - the final chapter is always an after-the-fact recounting of the final clues, which always makes the ending feel rushed. I've also stopped gritting my teeth at the melodramatic, foreshadowy chapter endings and Tempe's habit of getting preachy when discussing a topic that clearly matters to the author. Because really, despite all these flaws, Tempe Brennan is a good protagonist to spend time with, and Reichs always has an entertaining mystery thanks to her day job as a forensic anthropologist.

I'm exasperated I already finished the new book in one sitting, but at least the new season of Bones starts in three days.(less)

If this was the first Reichs book I read, I don't know that I'd read any more. Nothing about it was memorable or unique enough to set it apart from other mystery books. There was a bit less of the smart/stupid Brennan than the last book, less of textbook explanation of various sciences, fewer rhetorical questions, but still too many for me. The other annoying bit about the writing was the "telling" not "showing" of action and emotion. The only example that comes to mind a...more

Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist, is called in when a skull is found under the flooring of an old house in North Carolina. Nothing else that develops the plot in any meaningful way happens before page 75. There’s a history lesson about the town of Charlotte, a swag of stultifying detail about Brennan’s work life and some snippets about what she has to eat in her fridge but I’m pretty sure none of that is going to make anyone rush out to get this book.

The only word that seems to fit this book is dull. If pressed to expand I would, in Douglas Adams fashion, qualify that description by saying mostly dull. The first third of the book could have been written by anyone with access to Google. It’s almost as if Brennan (or Reichs) is lecturing one of her undergraduate classes as she lists in minute detail the dimensions of the bones she has found, details the major deities of several religions and continues a frightfully uninteresting internal monologue about the object of 11 books worth of sexual tension. Yawn. The plot gets slightly better for the last two thirds but it’s not even close to being gripping. I found myself skim-reading long passages of technical stuff and groaning at the portentous statement at the end of each chapter. The resolution to the mystery element was predictable and the final lecture on America’s culture of fear was patronising.

In case you’re wondering I have read Reichs before. In fact I’ve read all the books in this series. I rated the last one, Bones to Ashes, a 4 but the two installments prior to that only rated a 2 on my personal scale. The thing is I can’t decide if Reichs’ writing has deteriorated over the years or my reading tastes have altered during that same period. Maybe it’s a little (or a lot) of both. In the past I’ve felt Reichs has had a genuine interest in exploring the topics she’s used as the basis for her plots, such as in Grave Secrets which dealt with human rights abuses and ’the disappeared’ of 1980’s Guatemala. In Devil Bones it felt like she’d drawn voodoo out of a hat filled with random plot elements and threw in a few facts and figures alongside the dead bodies and danger. I’m firmly convinced the only person who had less interest in this book than I did is Reichs herself.

I’m done with this series.

Kathy Reichs joins the ranks of so many writers who feel compelled to produce a book every year and end up producing crap. I used to so enjoy her books -- but she has gone downhill fast and this might be the last one that I read.

Devil Bones' only saving grace was that it was quick to read .. but only because of the # of pages, not because of the content. There were too many peripheral characters that added nothing to the plot except to make it confusing. I also prefer the books that...more

This is the first book of the series that I've read. There are a few interesting things about the style that I like. When you get to the last line of a chapter, there is always something that makes you want to turn the page and keep on going.

Of course, there are a couple of things that just keep on going, but should probably end sooner. Tempe has some difficulties in figuring out what is odd about one of the bodies found in this book. With all of the clues scattered about, you would ...more

This book can be read alone, but is also part of the Temperence Brennan series. You won't be lost series-wise if you start here, but you may not care to pick up the other books in the series.

Home renovations on Greenleaf Avenue in Charlotte, N.C. are hellish. “What I seen is Satan, himself, “the plumber tells forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennon. But she and Detective “Skinny” Slidell weren’t prepared for what was in the home’s basement. The earthen chamber displayed cauldrons, one large, one small, a rusty sauce pan, plywood, some sort of tools, religious statues and candles, beads and antlers suspended overhead the makeshift altar. Human remains were present. At least the chicken hadn’t been dead long. Perhaps the rituals performed at the altar were harmless. No, not in a Kathy Reich’s novel.

A couple days after this grisly discovery, a dog walker stumbles upon a headless torso at the edge of a nearby lake. Carved into the chest is an inverted pentagram, fueling a media frenzy in which Boyce Lingo takes full advantage. The Evangelical preacher turned politician proclaims Satan worshippers are responsible for both discoveries. Sliddell and his partner, Eddie Rinaldi, soon discover the identity of the Lake victim. He is a well known “chicken hawk” (gay prostitute) who was last seen with a Ricky Nelson look a like john with violent tendencies. When Tempe learns that a witch coven is not far from the lake, she and the two detectives are thrown into Wicca, Voodoo, and Santeria as leads all point to those religions and to a person of interest that has the jaw bone belonging to the skull found on Greenleaf Avenue. But when someone close to the investigation is gunned down, Tempe spirals downward both personally and professionally while public ally battling waging battle with the powerful Evangelical politician and balancing a new romance.

Normally I love Reich’s didactic prose, but the historical and the long driving directions did nothing to advance the story-line. The descriptions of the three alternative religions (my opinion) read like a textbook. I’m reading a mystery-thriller Dr. Reichs, not studying Theology. But the bright side is that Reichs has Tempe in a possible new relationship with an old flame, a hunky 9/11 widower. She also sends Brennan spirally dangerously down into possibly a new direction. Could Ryan really be gone now? Could we see Tempe in a new setting and job? I hope so because the Ryan relationship is long stale. And despite the minutia, the book is a quick read.

Over the weekend, I read the eleventh (and next-to-last in the series thus far) book in the series. At this point, I have only one book left... But it's actually perfect timing, because Kathy Reichs will release another Tempe book in August. So one left to enjoy, and then a new book to read soon.

Devil Bones is the book Reichs has been leading up to with all of her other books. Reichs stated in a Q&A section at the end of the novel that her hope is that Tempe is both a professional with a depth of knowledge and an approachable character with whom readers feel a connection. She accomplishes this in various ways -- Tempe's constant romantic struggles, her unwavering devotion to her job, her alcoholism, and her conflicts with and love for her daughter. In Devil Bones Tempe finds herself in situations which address all of these real, human struggles.

While Tempe is in Charlotte for the fall UNCC semester, a plumber finds a gruesome discovery in a local basement. The organization and placement of the bones found are reminiscent of rituals, possibly from the fringe religion Santeria. Although the house has been empty for some time and is undergoing renovations by the new owners, Tempe and police investigators Slidell and Rinaldi soon find that the former tenant was a Santero, or healer. When two separate bodies turn up with signs of Satanism present in the killings, the team is led to investigate a local Wiccan man. The murders and bone discoveries, along with the possibility of them being linked to Satanism, stir up a political storm unlike anything Tempe has faced. Her temper flares, with disastrous results. To complicate matters, Andrew Ryan enters into the picture all the way from Montreal, and an old flame returns through Tempe's daughter Katy. Tempe is tempted more than ever by the warmth and numbing effect of alcohol, and for the first time we see her fail in her attempt to refrain from drinking.

Definitely one of Reichs's best entries in the Tempe series, the book also gained fame for being more than a good piece of literature. United Kingdom man Roshan Dantis cited the novel as inspiration for a murder he committed. In fact, Dantis renewed his library copy of the book just after murdering his friend's wife. In a statement about the murder and the claim that her book had anything to do with Dantis's actions, Reichs denied such a connection.

Because I knew what the answer was, and yet these people whose job it is to know these things didn't come up with it. As Brennan says when she figures out this one thing, there toward the end: "I don't know how I could have been so dense." I had to stop reading while I wished fervently to be able to whack her across the back of her head.

But other than that it was pretty cool. I had warning on two sides that this Brennan wasn't going to be the Brennan from the Fox TV show, Bones, so I didn't get messed up expecting her to be. I'm not sure I needed the warning, though---how many different places point out that Bones is based on Kathy Reichs' life?

Okay, so I do suppose it could get confusing since the main character of her books is named Temperance Brennan, same as the TV series. But aside from the name and the sort of field she's in, they're not the same character---they don't even know any of the same people.

What I found cool is that in the series, the character writes novels, yeah? Well, I could imagine that character having written this book.

I did balk at some of the connections between cases in the book, as there were times it felt like their reasoning was, "Well, both these cases are in this novel, so they're probably connected." No, no, it wasn't that bad. I'm saying that was the sort of feeling going on at times. But even then, I still wanted to know in what way things were connected and who was behind it all.

This book is also a wealth of information. Some of it is dumped unceremoniously on the reader, some on the main character (and therefore the reader). But it's interesting stuff, to me---procedures for identifying remains, entomology, Wicca trivia, all kinds of syncretic religion information. I don't really think the plot needed any of it, but it was still pretty cool to know. (I could have done without all the history lessons about Charlotte and the surrounding area, but maybe there are those who enjoyed that and hated the Santeria information. I figure if I get to keep my Santeria and whatnot, they can have their Charlotte stuff.)

In the end, I both liked it better and got more mad at it than I would have if it weren't for one particular character in this book who shared a name, a similar occupation, and even a bit of personality with someone I, er, know. Now I gotta go ask Asa if he's Wiccan just so he can laugh at me.

I'm a huge fan of the tv-show, Bones, and when I found out the show was (very loosely) based on novels, I had to give them a go. And I can't say I'm disappointed.

What's important to understand is that the books and the show are two different things - they're different medias. Of course that's not an excuse for making somewhat shallow characters (of which Reichs is guilty) - the characters of the novels pale a little compared to the charming, witty and - if I must say it - sexy charac...more
