Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author, Kathy Reichs’s Bones to Ashes is now available on audio for only $14.99!
Temperance Brennan, like her creator Kathy Reichs, is a brilliant, sexy forensic anthropologist, called on to solve the toughest cases. But for Tempe, the discovery of a young girl’s skeleton in Acadia, Canada, is more than just another assignment. Evangeline, Tempe’s childhood best friend, was also from Acadia. Named for the character in the Longfellow poem, Evangeline was the most exotic person in Tempe’s eight-year old world. When Evangeline disappeared, Tempe was warned not to search for her, that the girl was “dangerous.”
Thirty years later, flooded with memories, Tempe cannot help wondering if this skeleton could be the friend she lost so many years ago. Meanwhile, Tempe’s beau, Ryan, investigates a series of cold cases. Two girls dead. Three missing. Could the New Brunswick skeleton be part of the pattern? As Tempe draws on the latest advances in forensic anthropology to penetrate the past, Ryan hunts down a serial predator.
Bones to Ashes is a gripping, sophisticated thriller starring the protagonist who is “the lab lady most likely to dethrone Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta” (USA TODAY).

"As I have said before I am a "Bones" fan who decided to try the books. This is my second read and I enjoyed it, more than the first I think. I would recommend the series if you like blood and guts and the forensic side of mystery novels."
— Rick (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“With her usual blend of cutting-edge forensic science, nail-biting suspense and characters that pop off the page, Reichs, who’s vice president of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists and the producer of Fox’s Bones , has produced another winner in one of the genre’s most satisfying series.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“With crisp prose, well-drawn characters, unflagging attention to detail, and a resonant emotional angle, Reichs’ tenth Temperance Brennan mystery featuring the forensic anthropologist finds the forensic anthropologist in top form…Reichs deftly provides enough background to make this a successful stand-alone, at the same time advancing relationships between characters for her increasing legion of fans, who won’t want to miss this one.”
— Booklist -
“The French-Canadian setting with its bilingual characters provides narrator Linda Emond with challenges well met. She glides easily from impersonating Tempe's interfering Southern sister to a conversation with a mentally handicapped child to flirty Tempe-Ryan banter. At the same time, she keeps control of multiple plot lines.”

“Reichs keeps her superb suspense piece on track, leaving the reader totally wrung out by the time the ultimate villains are tracked down and confronted. Essential for all collections.”
— Library Journal -
“Tempe is both deeper and funnier than she’s ever been, making this her best outing to date.”

" Half-way through and loving it! Kathy Reichs has yet to disappoint me! "

" One of her best. I loved the way she pulled something from Tempe's past into the current plot. I love all her novels, but I believe this is her best one yet! "
— Denise, 2/1/2014 -
" I did enjoy reading this, but I've read that many I have to say I think I'm getting tired of reading them - never thought I'd say that "
— Curlyhair, 1/29/2014 -
" Great easy read. This is the second book I have completed for the Summer 2011 Challenge. "
— Noreen, 1/25/2014 -
" One of her better books. Her writing style seems to be improving "
— Sid, 1/22/2014 -
" I have read the first few of this series and the last few so I may be a bit confused. I may not finish the series though as they are really, really dark and I just do not care for the setting. "
— Kristen, 1/16/2014 -
" I read this while our book club was on break. I love forensics, but I haven't really found a book that does it right. This is more about the side stories than the cold case side of it...not a big fan of series books...that may be the problem ;) "
— Julie, 1/11/2014 -
" Listening on CD. A good intro to the tv series Bones. Nothing particularly new to learn here. Brennan helps to uncover a porn ring and find her lost frie3nd from 40 years earlier. The tv series is definitely funnier, not as bleak. "
— Eddie, 1/3/2014 -
" this book has the mystery and shock of Bones the TV series but... unfortunately for a book of this nature, seeing it really makes a big difference and that is where this book failed. "
— Linh, 1/2/2014 -
" I forgot all about Kathy Reichs and how much I enjoyed the first book I read. "
