It's the second-to-last day of archaeological field school. The students are working on a prehistoric gravesite on Dewees, a barrier island north of Charleston, South Carolina, when a much more recent burial is uncovered.

The skeleton is articulated, the bone fresh, and the vertebrae still connected by soft-tissue. It's a case forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan has to take. But her investigations soon have her in too deep - her entire view of humanity is challenged, and the further she probes, the more she seems to be putting herself in danger.

Critic reviews

"Reichs's down-to-earth heroine is an appealing creation, who deftly juggles personal problems with professional challenges." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Readers who enjoy Patricia Cornwell's mysteries will appreciate the forensic detail here, and more character-oriented readers will respond to Reichs' likable and well-developed cast, from the local sheriff to Tempe herself, a dedicated woman who feels compelled to provide justice for those who can no longer speak for themselves." ( Booklist)

Narration makes Dr Brennan appear weak and stupid when she’s actually a strong, intelligent woman. Disappointing story.

Narration doesn’t give justice to Dr Brennan

I enjoyed this book very much. The narrator was very good although not as good as some others I've heard reading previous novels of Kathy Reich. Worth a listen though.

Completely wrong narrator for this great book. Ridiculous accents and voices for the characters. Mainly whispering rather than speaking normally.
Painful to listen to. I will try to get a refund.
Otherwise another great story from Kathy Reichs.

Terrible narration
