About this listen
A new-born baby is found wedged in a vanity cabinet in a rundown apartment near Montreal. Dr Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist to the province of Quebec, is brought in to investigate. While there, she discovers the mummified remains of two more babies within the same room. Shocked and distressed, Tempe must use all her skills and inner strength to focus on the facts. But when the autopsies reveal that the children died of unnatural causes, the hunt for the mother - a young woman with a seedy past and at least three aliases - is on. The trail leads Tempe to Yellowknife, a cold, desolate diamond-mining town on the edge of the Arctic Circle, where her quest for the truth only throws up more questions, more secrets, and more dead bodies. Taking risks and working alone, Tempe refuses to give up until she has discovered why the babies died. But in such a hostile environment, can she avoid being the next victim?

So Kathy Reichs!!
Would you try another book written by Kathy Reichs or narrated by Linda Emond?
I have read a number of Kathy Reichs books and there is a similar format to them all. This is my first audio by her and first narration by Linda Emond. Mmmm, not too sure I'd do an other audio of Reichs, from her books you get a picture of an annoying inidivdual anyway, and with Linda Emond's severly accented narrating the lead character grates on you early on. The storyline is tradtional Temp Brennan stuff, easy to digest, although a little more far fetched than usual.
What three words best describe Linda Emond’s voice?
American, grating, monotonous

A gripping listen
At first I struggled with the American accent, but as I'd always wanted to read Kathy Reichs and never found the time, I stuck with it, and I'm so glad I did. Listening to and from my walk to work, I found myself walking slower just so that I could listen more. I've now started to download and listen to Kathy's earlier books. If you like your crime/detective novels, with science thrown in I'd recommend this book and Kathy Reichs whole heartedly.

An excellent read, or should I say listen!
Some years ago I bought the first ten of Kathy Reichs Bones books after enjoying the TV series. They were excellent, so good in fact that I now have all her books bar one on audiobook. Guess what my next buy will be? This book is excellently written, like all the ones that came before it and hopefully, like all the ones still to come. The author has an excellent style of writing that is easy to keep up with whether reading or listening to, all the books I've listened to have very good narrators that are easy on the ear making the storyline easy to follow as well. I am now looking forward to my next Tempe Brennan book and hopefully many more to come

Another solid contender.
Another solid contender for the stables of Temperance Brennan. You can never really go far wrong with Kathy Reichs.

Stealth, intrigue, intelligence.
I thoroughly enjoyed another book from Kathy Reichs. Her usual twists and turns had me guessing each chapter. I didn't see the final twist until very close to the end. Brennan demonstrated her usual brains .v. brawn with another character besides Ryan this time - making for a welcome change from the norm. Well worth a listen!

Intricate Plot
Enjoyable book and audiobook. A good performance and a story with several surprises. As with most Kathy Reichs books, the plot only really starts to truly unravel in the last hour.
My only complaint is that the French excerpts from the scenes that take place in Quebec need some serious improvement - I found it quite distracting!

A good story
The overall story was good, though I did think there was too much detail in parts where it didn't affect the story - it made me zone out and I had to rewind when it got back on course.
A LOT of characters too, made it easy to lose track of the major players.

Bones Are Forever
Perfect narration - really put a voice to Tempe - and Kathy, as usual, pulled off one hell of a gripping story!
