Book Review: Mortal Remains (Or Spider Bones) by Kathy Reichs (Temperance Brennan 14)

I really enjoy reading the Temperance Brennan series written by Kathy Reichs. This one is set in Hawaii that I would like to visit sometime. Temp is on the case of servicemen and endeavouring to identify remains. A body turns up in Canada that is identified as someone who died in Vietnam in 1968. Temp relocates to Hawaii and takes her daughter as well as Ryan and his daughter with her.

The mystery takes some time to unfold as different bodies appear to have different owners. Some of the science is a bit too technical for me but I enjoyed the mystery part of this novel. I also enjoyed the suspense and the thriller parts too when the party is invaded by gang culture.

The situation for Temp and Ryan does not move on much and her private life seems a tad dull at the moment, maybe there is more in the next novel.

8/10 for me

Mortal Remains sounds like an excellent read. I see that it is being reviewed on The Book Report Radio show on http://bookreportradio.com.
This is where I get the leads for my best reads.
