Suspense | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Temperance Brennan is called in to look at a cold case and compare it to the murder of a child. She immediately sees the connection to an old case and realizes that the woman who almost murdered her years ago is back and killing again.

Now she must find her former partner and lover Andrew Ryan. Ryan has disappeared after the death of his daughter and has not been seen from or heard from in over a month. The cold case team begins to work on finding the killer, Temperance finds Ryan and together again they join the hunt. As more children die and another disappear they know time is running out and they must find the killer or killers before it is too late.

Kathy Reichs never fails to deliver a good mystery with her Temperance Brennan series. In BONES NEVER LIE it is good to see Temperance and Ryan working together again. Ryan has some growing to do after the returning from the death of his daughter and it is good to see him make the personal changes. The team of investigators has the right amount of positive and negative interaction and you will enjoy reading the way they precede with the investigation. There is also a surprise twist at the end not only involving the killer/killers but also involving those searching for them.

BONES NEVER LIE is another great story in the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs.

SUMMARY

The evidence is irrefutable: In sixteen New York Times bestsellers over the course of as many years, Kathy Reichs has proven herself “a genius at building suspense” (New York Daily News). In forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, Reichs has created a detective fiction heroine who’s brilliant to the bone. “Every minute in the morgue with Tempe is golden,” says The New York Times Book Review. In the acclaimed author’s thrilling new novel, Brennan is at the top of her game in a battle of wits against the most monstrous adversary she has ever encountered. Unexpectedly called in to the Charlotte PD’s Cold Case Unit, Dr. Temperance Brennan wonders why she’s been asked to meet with a homicide cop who’s a long way from his own jurisdiction. The shocking answer: Two child murders, separated by thousands of miles, have one thing in common—the killer. Years ago, Anique Pomerleau kidnapped and murdered a string of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture. It was a devastating defeat for her pursuers, Brennan and police detective Andrew Ryan. Now, as if summoned from their nightmares, Pomerleau has resurfaced in the United States, linked to victims in Vermont and North Carolina. When another child is snatched, the reign of terror promises to continue—unless Brennan can rise to the challenge and make good on her second chance to stop a psychopath. But Brennan will have to draw her bitter ex-partner out of exile, keep the local police and feds from one another’s throats, and face more than just her own demons as she stalks the deadliest of predators into the darkest depths of madness. In Bones Never Lie, Kathy Reichs never fails to satisfy readers looking for psychological suspense that’s more than skin-deep.
