Listening to this book was so cool!

I've been a fan of fictional forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan since long before the TV show Bones. I like what she's able to do with contemporary bodies, but I'm always interested in the asides about her ventures with older, more historic graves.

As a big forensic anthropology fan, who only took 1 physical anthropology class in university 15 years ago, I truly enjoyed this look at how the identification process is undertaken. I do see it as a limited audience though.
