Publisher Description
Temperance Brennan hears the news on her car radio. An Air TransSouth flight has gone down in the mountains of western North Carolina, taking with it eighty-eight passengers and crew.
An a forensic anthropologist and a member of the regional DMORT team, Tempe rushes to the scene to assist in body recovery and identification. She finds a field of carnage: torsos in trees, limbs strewn among bursting suitcases and smoldering debris. Many of the dead are members of a university soccer team. Is Tempe's daughter, Katy, among them?
Frantic with worry, Tempe joins colleagues from the FBI, the NTSB, and other agencies to search for explanations. Was the plane brought down by a bomb or simple mechanical failure? And what about the prisoner on the plane who was being extradited to Canada? Did someone want him silenced forever? And why are certain people eager to stop Tempe's investigation? Is she learning too much? Coming too close?
With help from Montreal detective Andrew Ryan -- and from a very special dog named Boyd -- Tempe uncovers a shocking, multilayered tale of deceit and depravity.
Written with the riveting authenticity that only world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs can provide, Fatal Voyage pairs witty, elegant prose with pulse-pounding storytelling in a tour de force worthy of crime writing's new superstar.

"I really enjoyed this one. Seemed to be a bit different than the previous ones. Tempe still found herself and/or a loved one in danger, but it didn't take away from the story. Her love life may actually be taking a turn for the better, too, which is exciting. ;)"
— Molly (5 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Reichs, herself a highly accomplished forensic anthropologist, expertly directs a busy plot that moves with electrical force in the final quarter. She capitalizes on the morbid yet captivating aspects of the forensic trenchwork, yet never lets it overwhelm her story. But it is Reichs’ ongoing development of Tempe—a woman in her 50s with a mature understanding of human nature, and a self-deprecating sense of humor—that truly lifts the book above many of its peers.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Harper’s signature reading style is impeccable as she re-creates harrowing experiences and energizes the scientific and forensic jargon uttered by a search-and-recovery team toiling at an airplane crash site.”

— Janet, 2/18/2014 -

" kathy reichs books are always good, but I particularly liked this one. Lots of twists and turns. "
— Marybeth, 12/11/2013 -
" This chapter in the life of Dr. Temperance Brennan is my favorite so far, I think. The story keeps you hooked and the use of a tragedy to spring the actual story is very interesting. I never knew what was coming next and found the tie up to be very interesting. "
— Crista, 12/7/2013 -
" Wowsers! This was probably the most addictive read and the least coincidental of the four I've read so far. Tempe is such a great character to follow! "
— Megan, 10/17/2013 -
" Great book as always! I can't wait to read the next one. I'm very happy that she has been able to continue writing these for so long, I don't know what I would do if there were only two or three books in the series! "
— Alyssa, 10/1/2013 -
" Temperance Brennan is sent to help sort out the aftermath of an airplane crash in the North Carolina mountains. Instead she finds a conspiracy that threatens her career, and her life. "
— Tom, 8/22/2013 -
" This is the first book in the series to take place mainly in the States. I really am enjoying this series and cannot wait for number five. "
— Scott, 8/19/2013 -
" I intended this to be holiday reading but got so caught up in it that I finished it before we left home. The key to a series like this is the protagonist, I've read many in this genre and Tempe Brennan is definitely my favourite leading lady. "
— Emma, 6/17/2013 -
" I liked this one the most thus far - probably because a portion of the storyline was totally remnant of an episode of Bones. And obviously I'm obsessed. "
— Nikki, 4/10/2013 -
" Finally those books are getting a little better. I still didn't REALLY "like it" as three stars are supposed to indicate, but it wasn't as bad as the previous ones. "
— Christine, 11/26/2012 -
" I thoroughly enjoyed reading this mystery because the setting was Western North Carolina. I was familiar with people and places mentioned. Of course, I enjoy trying to figure out the "who done it" before the end of the book. "
— Donna, 10/1/2012 -
" I really like all the detail in Kathy Reichs' writing. "
— JoNel, 9/26/2012 -
" good mystery, good suspense, interesting (but a little didactic) science. will read more of hers. Also, I thought the character was quite different from the TV show. "
— Siobhan, 9/13/2012 -
" While investigating a fatal airline crash, Tempe stumbles upon a body part that does not match the passenger list. This keeps you on the edge of your seat. "
