Kathy Reichs

I finished reading two novels from Kathy Reichs (Fatal Voyage and Monday Mourning), they are both great reads. So I thought I’ll write a few sentences about Kathy Reichs. As all the other novels that I’ve read from her is featuring Dr. Temperance Brennan (Tempe) who is a forensic anthropologist.
What I like most about Kathy’s novels is the exact and realistic description of how Tempe is getting to the conclusions from experiments mostly on bones. The reason behind this precision is of course the fact that she has a PhD in forensic anthropology and has worked both as an academic and as a part of an investigation teams. These descriptions are written good enough for everyone to understand without sacrificing the scientific base. Recently they started making a new TV series called Bones based on Kathy Reichs books and featuring Tempe Brennan, I have not watched any of it yet but I hope that in the series they don’t destroy her work!

If you haven’t read anything from Kathy Reichs yet, I totally recommend her books and as I don’t have any favorite between those 5 that I’ve read, I recommend them all! ;))
