I must be one of the few people not to have watched Bones on TV? However I have enjoyed reading all of the Kathy Reichs novels and peering into the professional and personal life of Temperance Brennan. How it compares with TV though I have no idea?Deja Dead is the first of the series and deals with a serial murderer. A dismembered body of a woman is found in a monastery and is too far gone to have an autopsy and therefore Temperance Brennan the anthropologist is called in. Kathy Reichs is also an anthropologist and the books generally focus on her own real life background I feel.
Temperance has been looking into recent disappearances in Quebec and once she starts to investigate the latest corpse she becomes convinced that a serial killer is at work. The detective on the case, Claudel is not convinced of Temperance's theories but he is eventually convinced when the body count rises.

However the more Temperance delves the more she puts herself and her family in danger. A good first novel and better than Patricia Cornwell for me.
