Temperance Brennan in this third novel by Kathy Reichs featuring her is investigating a plane crash in North Carolina's Smoky Mountains. Temperance is a forensic anthropologist. The mystery is that she finds a human bone at the crash scene of someone who could not have been on the plane.
The descriptions of the crash scene are great. The mixture of sadness, grief yet somehow professionals doing their jobs in these extreme circumstances comes over very well.
There is also plenty of love interest with Andrew Ryan in this novel as well as Pete the ex-husband clearly on the scene too. I like to read about Temp's personal life too and how this develops through the novels.
However, Temp is kicked off the investigation team when she is set up by a supervisor. Temp is then on the case to get back on the case as well as clearing her name too.
This is one of the best Kathy Reichs for me, I read this some years ago but I can vividly remember this novel, particularly the early scenes.
9/10 for me.
