What I like about the series is the Montreal setting, where applicable, and the police procedural/forensic stuff. What I thoroughly disliked, enough to stop reading the series, was the way Temperance was always the center of any mystery, going alone into every lair of evildoers, being the motivation behind every nutcase's decision to start killing people...

I am glad I picked up this one. The Hawaii setting was interesting. There was still a lot of her personal life, but, for once, there was something other than her personal life motivating the crimes. And there were only a couple of times where this aging woman with half-dozen PhDs performed the kinds of stunts Navy Seals train for years to achieve.

People love the forensic anthropology. In this book, it is not overshadowed by Temperance's adventures and personal life. Hoping to find another one in the series with similar characteristics
