They seem to plod along from point to point until we reach the conclusion. The brilliance of this book is how she brought two death situations, in two different countries, together in one bad actor. What was really clever was how the number of suspects was reduced from two to one. But more than the mystery is the education she provides about genes. But she does that in each of her stories. I am provided with an education that I probably would never pursue as a byproduct of her books. There's a hurricane bearing down on North Carolina. It changes Tempe's life for quite a bit for sure. A bin with two youngish girls in it washes up in South Carolina and Tempe is called in. She wonders if it relates to a case from her past. Add in to that a weird thing going on in South Carolina (other than the dead bodies). Not to mention that Tempe pops back and forth between Canada and the US like its going out of style, and, it was a book that was chock full of plots (and I was impressed that, I'm pretty sure that they were all mostly tied up, sometimes that doesn't happen in these books). There was a new detective from South Carolina, she was cool, I hope that we see more of her (I know that we probably won't). And, there were the old favorites from Montreal too. And, of course Ryan. In some of the immediately previous books I felt like Reichs was treading water with them, and not in a good way. But, in this book, they seemed to be back to their old back and forth, with a bit of romance/love mixed in. Do I want a resolution. Sorta, yeah, but, not having one did not take away from this book at all. And, now I'm hungry for JELLO. Tempe Brennan è tornata in splendida forma: tra Charlotte e il Quebec, con Ryan al suo fianco e il povero gatto Birdie sballottato da un luogo all'altro, inclusa la casa di Charleston dell'amica Anne, dove rimane pure vittima di un incidente. Tempe si muove con disinvoltura tra genoma, vaccini e RNA modificato in un ambiente post pandemia, che evidentemente non è stata così traumatica come in Italia, per dare un nome e un volto a ossa di vittime sconosciute e punire il loro assassino sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with her twentieth gripping novel featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, whose examinations, fifteen years apart, of unidentified bodies ignite a terrifying series of events. On the way to hurricane-ravaged Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South Carolina coast, Tempe receives a call from the Charleston coroner. The storm has tossed ashore a medical waste container. Inside are two decomposed bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting and bound with electrical wire. Tempe recognizes many of the details as identical to those of an unsolved case she handled in Quebec years earlier. With a growing sense of foreboding, she travels to Montreal to gather evidence. Meanwhile, health authorities in South Carolina become increasingly alarmed as a human flesh-eating contagion spreads. So focused is Tempe on identifying the container victims that, initially, she doesn't register how their murders and the pestilence may be related. But she does recognize one unsettling fact. Someone is protecting a dark secret-and willing to do anything to keep it hidden. An absorbing look at the sinister uses to which genetics can be put, and featuring a cascade of ever-more-shocking revelations, The Bone Code is Temperance Brennan's most astonishing case yet-one that gives new meaning to today's headlines"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

If I can set the story aside, if, I found the formulaic writing more annoying than usual. I guess I hoped the author would learn some things over the years, but instead she's relying on old formats more than ever. It's not charming. ( )
