The Bone Yard: A Body Farm Novel Audiobook

" I'd read another Body Farm book years ago, and picked this up at the library without remembering much about the first one I'd read. In this one Dr. Bill Brockton, a forensic anthropologist, explores and exposes the atrocities committed by staff of a boys school in Florida. This is a very entertaining story of the struggle of good to triumph over evil. I want to read more from this series. I have one caveat. The authors describe the actual excavation of an Arikara burial site. Although I know that when it occurred, times were much different than now, I could not help but be deeply offended by the desecration of ancestral native graves. "

" Excellent story in a good series. Unfortunately, the plot deals with a sad and violent story of a Florida reform school, but it is qwell written and holds your interest through out. Dr. Brockton is a very likeable and endearing character that keeps you reading until the last page. Jefferson Bass deal with forensic events in an informative and factual way that will hold a reader's interest, without any of the cheesy gimmicks in the CSI genre. A very good addition to a higly recommended series. "

" I LOVE LOVE this series and authors! This is the man who started the "Body Farm" at the University of Tenneessee and his fiction is based on real stories. Highly recommended! "

" I always enjoy these books! Fast reads, good forensics. A little reading candy. "

" I like this series as I enjoy learning more about the body farm. The book moved along at a good clip and kept me interested. "

" Again, a good and informative read, but also very disturbing. "

" The first book by Jefferson Bass I've read and liked it so much, I'm getting the rest. "

" Decent forensic anthropology tale. Refreshing to have forensics done by a man (making sense as one of the co-authors is the originator of THE body farm). "

" OK book, but a bit too forensically detailed for me. Parts of the book were based on events that, unfortunately, happened at reform schools in Florida in the 60's. Would not seek out to read other books in the "bone" series. "

" As per the last five of these books, a really good mystery read, a learning experience, and well-written entertainment. "

" I like Jefferson Bass and this was one of his best books. Nice blend of fact and fiction. I don't generally like to review. I'd rather people read a book and decide but this time the book was ripe for someone else to review it. "

" The forensic anthropologist goes to Florida on one case and finds tragic cases of abuse at a boys' school. Some parts were hard to read. The authors cite modern-day cases as evidence of an ongoing problem. "

" One of the better books in this series. The story line was compelling and just when you think you've figured it out, there's another twist. "

" Pretty brutal subject matter but one that definitely should be brought to everyones attention. "

" Another good book in their series. Plot is kind of stretching things, but it is fiction after all. Takes place mostly in Florida. "

" I love this series and Dr. Bass's work. This installment felt much more procedural than many of the others, though. And many favorite characters disappeared, replaced by others who were never fully fleshed out (ironic, if you've read the novel). "

" too slow and about a subject I am not interested in. good for those interested in CSI. "

" Compelling story-telling. If you have sons or children period, I dare you not to cry. I usually figure out the whodunit before the big reveal, but again, I enjoy the forensics and the way the authors incorporate historical tragedies into the storyline. "

" Dr. Bass and Mr. Jefferson delivered yet another great novel chock full of real anthropological technique. The plot was engaging, the characters were fully realized and the science was enlightening. "

" Fast exciting read! "

" I always love these guys books and this book was a exciting to read as the others. I would love to learn more about how these two guys work together to turn out one book. "

" This one wasn't as good as others in the series. There really isn't much of a mystery. I could have forgive than if not for the over the top ending where in Brockton does the dumbest thing an unarmed scientist could do. "

" I LOVE LOVE this series and authors! This is the man who started the "Body Farm" at the University of Tenneessee and his fiction is based on real stories. Highly recommended! "

" I really liked it; thought it was one of the best Jefferson Bass has put out. "

" This book was a lot better than the last Jefferson Bass novel I read. Glad I didn't give up on this author as I sometimes do after a dud. The ending was a bit predictable, but otherwise, a great story. "

" maybe a 3.5--gripping story. based on a true story of boys' "reform" school in Florida. this series is a consistently good one. "

" This series is getting better. This was a page-turner for me. It was adventurous "

" as always they write a fantastic book. this one is much more of just a story rather than adding everything that is going on in bill's life. they story they tell is quite a sad one but they do it so much justice while getting justice ... very much looking forward to the next book. "

" Another good book in their series. Plot is kind of stretching things, but it is fiction after all. Takes place mostly in Florida. "

" Pretty brutal subject matter but one that definitely should be brought to everyones attention. "
