Product Description

Includes a Bonus MP3 CD of Kathy Reichs' D?j? Dead

The #1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the Fox television hit, Bones, returns with a spectacular new Tempe Brennan novel.

There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, can read in them stories of brief or long lives and use them to reconstruct every kind of violent end. 206 Bones opens with Tempe regaining consciousness and discovering that she is in some kind of very small, very dark, very cold enclosed space. She is bound, hands to feet. Who wants Tempe dead, or at least out of the way, and why? Tempe begins slowly to reconstruct...

Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy -- and the case. Someone made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call was dead. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third.

Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror as she's held captive and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs conveys the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds. Reichs is writing at the top of her game.



About the Author

Kathy Reichs, like her character Temperance Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist, formerly for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and currently for the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de m - decine l - gale for the province of Quebec. A professor in the department of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she is one of only seventy-nine forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, is past Vice President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Board in Canada. Reichs's first book, D - ja Dead, catapulted her to fame when it became a New York Times bestseller and won the 1997 Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Her novel, Devil Bones, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.

Linda Emond's film credits include Stop Loss, North Country, and Across the Universe. Television credits include The Sopranos, all four Law & Orders, and American Experience: John & Abigail Adams. On Broadway she has performed in 1776 and Life x 3 (Tony nomination & Outer Critics Circle Award) and Off-Broadway in Tony Kushner's Homebody/Kabul (Obie & Lucille Lortel Awards).

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Entry in the Series, Sep 8 2009
By N. Manning (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 206 Bones: A Novel (Hardcover)
Reason for Reading: I read every new Kathy Reichs book.

Comments: Tempe wakes up to realize that she is tied up and trapped within a small brick structure within complete darkness. Chapters alternate between her present situation and some relative distant past and a case she's been working where the skeletal remains of an elderly woman are recovered and linked to 2 other violent deaths of elderly women and 1 current missing persons case that fits the same descriptors. Tempe is also experiencing difficulties at work in the Quebec office with a new staff member added to the crew and each other person in a gloomy mood; then she receives a nasty note and confirms someone has tried to discredit her recently. Tempe works this second personal case to get the guy who's after her reputation behind the scenes while working on the 'grannies' case.

This was a great entry in the series. I spent my holiday Monday basically doing nothing but reading the book and read it in a day. (Well I read a bit the night before in bed, too) A very exciting, compelling read. The elderly woman case was a good one and different but I did find that the book lacked Reichs' usual flare for the gruesome details. I absolutely loved the switching back to a trapped Tempe, her memory is all hazy and she can't remember the immediate past, so the reader also has no idea how she ended up this way. These bits where she mentally tries to survive and talk herself into physically surviving and trying to escape were really my favourite parts of the book.

While the mystery centres around the main case of the elderly women there are also a few side stories and mysteries going on as well. And while the main case proves to be a solid mystery, one of the other mysteries that ran the whole book was rather transparent and very easy to figure out from the beginning. I was quite surprised with that. Reichs usually holds up very solid mysteries. I wish she had advanced Brennan's personal life a little further in this book but instead she kept the Tempe/Ryan relationship pretty much business only and briefly let us see into where her thoughts were with anything further, we are fully aware of where Ryan stands on the issue. The book does end on a note that lets the reader know which direction the relationship will certainly go in the next book, though.

On a final note, fans will devour this one and not be disappointed. It's a solid, all-nighter read and will keep us waiting for the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tempe in Peril from an Unexpected Villain, Sep 12 2009
This review is from: 206 Bones: A Novel (Hardcover)
"I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me." -- Psalm 22:17

This story operates in the present and by flashback to fill in the past. As the book opens, Tempe is a captive . . . unaware of how she got into this tight spot. Moving backward then, we find Tempe in Chicago with Lieutenant Ryan as escorts for remains found in Quebec. Unexpectedly, Tempe is fighting for her professional reputation when an attorney makes an unfounded accusation. Tempe learns she has an enemy but doesn't think much of it. A chance comment leads her to look at some more bones in Chicago in an effort to locate a missing person.

Finally back in Montreal, the emotional climate at work is chillier than the morgue while the weather outside is frightful. Tempe is offered warmth from Ryan but wants none of it.

More accusations follow of incompetence while Tempe searches for a serial killer. The key clue will probably amuse you.

I found that forensics to be a little more baffling than usual, but it's all good fun.

You'll probably understand what's going on long before Tempe does. That's the book's weakness, but the police procedural aspects are pretty interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its about the relationships, Sep 27 2009
By Bernie Koenig (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 206 Bones: A Novel (Hardcover)
Art Matters: The Art of Knowledge/The Knowledge of Art
Natural Law, Science, and the Social Construction of Reality

After the previous book, which I thought was weak, this is much better. As far as the plot is concerned, I have nothing to add to what other reviewers have said. The main mystery was fairly obvious, and as I was reading the book, when Tempe finally realizes what is going on, I yelled, "It's about time!"

But I don't just read these books for the plots. For me it is about character. I love the character of Tempe, and I love seeing what is going on with her and Ryan. That is why the transparency of the plots don't affect me in a negative way. The plots are secondary to the character development. And in this book we get great character development and great character interaction.

In that regard, this is one of the better books in the series.
