New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs’s Break No Bones is now available on audio for only $14.99.
The inspiration for the hit Fox series Bones, Kathy Reichs explores another high-stakes crime from today’s headlines—in a case that lands forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan in the middle of a gruesome international scheme. Summoned to South Carolina to fill in for a negligent colleague, Tempe is stuck teaching at a lackluster archeology field school in the ruins of a Native American burial ground on the Charleston shore. But when Tempe stumbles upon a fresh skeleton among the ancient bones, her old friend Emma Rousseaus, the local coroner, persuades Tempe to stay on and help with the investigation. When Emma reveals a disturbing secret, it becomes more important than ever for Tempe to help her friend close the case.
The body count begins to climb. Tempe follows the trail to a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic televangelist. Clues abound in the most unlikely places as Tempe uses her unique knowledge and skills to build her case, even as the local sheriff remains dubious and her own life is threatened.

"In #9 Tempe follows the trail of bones to a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic televangelist. I wish Reichs would either take a few lessons in how to write good erotica or else drop the romance between Tempe and Ryan."

“A brilliant novel in the tradition of the best Southern gothic writing!…Reichs’ seamless blending of fascinating science and dead-on psychological portrayals, not to mention a whirlwind of a plot, make Break No Bones a must-read.”
— Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author“A rare treat…mesmerizing…Reading Break No Bones kept pulling me away from my own deadlines, but I loved it!”
— Ann Rule, New York Times bestselling author“This novel confirms the series’ place in the front rank of the ever-expanding forensic thriller subgenre.”
— Publishers Weekly“Readers…will appreciate the forensic detail here, and more character-oriented readers will respond to Reichs’ likable and well-developed cast…An engrossing entry in a widely read series.”
— Booklist" A slightly edgier Brennan adventure with a lot of links and crossovers that keeps the brain working throughout. Always nice to be surprised at the end of a thriller! "
— Megan, 2/11/2014" I've enjoyed most of these books, and this one was entertaining as well. I think they compare well to Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta books. One issue I have with both these books and the Kay Scarpetta books is that the supposedly intelligent women in the books are constantly getting themselves into physical danger, and being rescued by the men. In response to the earlier review comparing one of the books unfavorably to the series, I think the books seem much more realistic. "
— Sherry, 2/10/2014" This is the woman who originated the character on Bones (the TV show). It is a good mystery novel with a good character (Temperance Brennan). "
— Kaye, 2/3/2014" I let myself read one Kathy Reichs book at the beginning of each year. I keep myself several books behind in the series so that I don't "run out." This was my annual Christmas vacation book of the year. Great story. Read it in less than two days. "
— Elizabeth, 1/23/2014" This story is set in Charleston so I loved the local references. "
— Louise, 1/23/2014" Standard Tempe Brennan stuff. But, what can I say, I love Bones the series and when I read the books I picture Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz as Tempe and Andrew Ryan. So yeah, I'll probably keep reading the series as reading this makes me enter that TV Bones world ;) "
— Sita, 12/30/2013" This is the best one of Kathy Reichs books I have read so far. "
— Hope, 12/29/2013" Another great book by Kathy Reichs. "
— Sara, 12/28/2013" Another excellent boom from Kathy Reichs which I couldn't put down! "
— Claire, 12/28/2013" This is a good mystery, except that the main character tends to be a little shrill and freaks out too much. A tad annoying, but overall a good book. I like the t.v. series Bones better. "
— Megan, 12/23/2013" a solid mystery, but it didn't have as much of the geeky goodness of her other novels. This one read more like a straight out mystery than the bone lady coolness. I also was a wee bit peeved by the reapperance of the ex hubby. "
