"A collaborative effort by Dr. Bill Bass, the founder of the real Body Farm at the University of Tennessee, and Jon Jefferson - journalist, writer, and filmmaker, The Bone Thief is about number five in a series of Body Farm books that I have somehow missed. The facts ring so true, and no wonder. They could use a bit more work in the plot department, but it is a good book. Pretty scary to think what really goes on in some medical development circles! If you are fascinated by forensic science, this is a super series for you - and good if you just like a really good mystery."
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
“The Body Farm novels get better with each new book; not only are they more compellingly plotted and more tightly written but Brockton also has become a more fully realized character, not merely a stand-in for his creator. A very good mystery, suitable not just for fans of the Brockton novels but also for readers who enjoy forensic thrillers by Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell.”
