Swamp Bones by Kathy Reichs

Swamp Bones: A Novella - Kathy Reichs

 

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Temp Brennan is supposed to be in Florida to relax and enjoy a well earned holiday. Instead, she finds herself embroiled in a case involving Burmese pythons, poaching and human remains.

I was a big fan of these books when they first started with Deja Dead, the formulae is now getting a little predictable but this are still very enjoyable. The last Reich novel I read was Monday Mourning and Temps character doesn't appear to have developed much since then. I wasn't aware that forensic anthropologists were so involved in case work, it always seems likes she's putting herself in danger. I thought these people worked in labs mostly.

As with most of Reich's books it appears to be well researched and there is a large amount of scientific information pertaining to the subject matter. At times the info dump is a bit much but it's fascinating none the less.

Nicely paced and a good read if you're looking for something quick to breeze through.
