Summary

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL IN THE TEMPERANCE BRENNAN SERIES
A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK


'Read this book’ DAVID BALDACCI
'One of the absolute best thrillers of the year’ JEFFERY DEAVER
'You will find it hard to put down' MARK BOWDEN

EVERY BODY HAS SECRETS

It all starts with a series of text messages. Each message contains a new picture of a corpse, missing its face and hands. Dr Temperance Brennan needs to find out who the dead man is, and why the images were sent to her. The only problem is, she has been kicked off the team.

So she goes rogue, knowing that she is the only one who can solve this case. As she starts her investigation she discovers a connection to a decade-old missing child case. The more she uncovers, the darker and more twisted the picture becomes . . .

Engaging and entertaining

Typical of Kathy Reichs, this latest instalment does not disappoint. The narration was good. My only gripe was that the book seems sponsored by Apple! So many references to Apple's products it felt like an advert at times. It does nothing to advance the plot - iPad could be replaced with tablet, iPhone with Phone and MacBook Air with laptop.. i know it's petty but it really grated on me!

Not what I remember from a Brennan book.

It was alright but I felt it mixed and matched and although I did follow it the story didn't grab me, I was ecstatic at the end or in fact anything at the end. Disappointed.

One of the best!

Kathy surpassed herself with this book! Adding a part of herself (the aneurism and its effects) really inserted an edge to the text that has been missing a little from the latter few books.

Those books were still great stories and, as usual, contained well researched and intricate plots yet ‘A Conspiracy of Bones’ (for me) drew me in completely.

Maybe the ‘dark web’ holds my interest more than the military and sectarian topics.

Thank you, Kathy, for all your’Tempe’ books - almost all of them have caused me to have later nights than planned!!

Kathy you're da'bomb!

Narrator Linda Emond is perfect to my mind she is Tempe. Plot very contemporary and as with all KR's Tempe books a most compelling listen.

Surprised

It took me a while to get into this book as I hadn't realised it was a different narrator to the other Kathy Reich's audio books I have. it took a while but I'm so glad I persevered. Well worth the listen.
