Cold, Cold Bones

Reviews

“With two dozen books under her belt, Kathy Reichs should be running out of steam but Cold, Cold Bones is vintage Reichs. We have Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist, following a trail of weird clues, some good side partners, an excellent Carolina setting, and, best of all, a terrific revenge plot. . . . This is one of Reichs’ best ever.”
— The Globe and Mail “Smart, scary, complicated, and engrossing from the first sentence. Kathy Reichs has written her masterpiece, a story that reminds us that the past is not quiet and never completely behind us.”
 — MICHAEL CONNELLY, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Hours and The Law of Innocence “Reanimates all the ghosts from Temperance Brennan’s forensic past until they thoroughly haunt her present. Who or what is staging this grimly nostalgic murder spree? In Kathy Reichs’ deft hands, the question is given delicious urgency. This page-turning series never lets the reader down.”
 — HARLAN COBEN, New York Times bestselling author of The Match “Masterfully constructed . . . The cold cases may be stacking up, but for Temperance Brennan, the real target is very close to home.”
 — J.A. JANCE, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to Lose and Proof of Life “A mystery within a mystery that invites you to get into the action, complete with twisting turns and heart-stopping dives into the unknown. What I love most about Kathy Reichs’ novels is Tempe and Skinny’s witty dialogue. These two iconic characters make one of the best investigative teams in mystery literature. Cold, Cold Bones is the crowning achievement of a master storyteller, a feast for her many fans, and a delight for new readers.”
 — NELSON DeMILLE, New York Times bestselling author of The Deserter and The Cuban Affair  “Reichs is on an incredible streak. . . . The writing is especially sharp here; the story is intense; and Tempe is at her snarky, brook-no-idiots, don’t-mess-with-me best . . . In this consistently satisfying series, rank this one near the top.”
— Booklist (Starred Review) “Reichs supplies a great hook, a double helping of homicides past and present, and all the meticulous forensic details and throwaway cliffhanger chapter endings you’d expect from this celebrated series.”
— Kirkus Reviews  “A terrifying puzzle box.”
