Publisher Description
“The real deal.”
—Kathy Reichs
“The Sherlock Holmes for bones.”
—Katherine Ramsland, author of The Forensic Science of C.S.I.
The most riveting and ambitious novel to date in Jefferson Bass’ New York Times bestselling Body Farm mystery series, The Inquisitor’s Key takes forensic investigator Dr. Bill Brockton to Avignon, France, and embroils him in a deadly religious mystery that could shake the Vatican itself to its very foundations. Another sterling crime novel in the vein of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, and Karin Slaughter, as well as TV’s C.S.I., The Inquisitor’s Key adds a touch of James Rollins and The Da Vinci Code to the typically acclaimed Jefferson Bass mix of suspense, surprise, and finely detailed forensic investigation.

"Another entertaining body farm book. Dr. B. goes to France to help out his Miranda, his assistant. He finds himself in a mystery that involves the Avignon Papacy, Petrarch, and the Shroud of Turin. Fast moving, suspenseful, and clever with likeable characters....who could ask for more from a mystery."

The Inquisitor's Key Listener Reviews
-
" interesting plot with a take on the Shroud of Turin and forgery. "

" I have not read any of the other books in the Body Farm series, but this was enjoyable enough that I will definitely go to the library to look for the older titles.This book centers around the mysteries of the Shroud of Turin which is fascinating in itself. The "what- If's" resented in the book are just plausible enough to make it interesting. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Dan Brown or Patricia Cornwell although it is a much lighter/quicker read. "

" They had me at airpark...very CSI only with international travel and problems to solve. "

" This is one of my favorite series to read. I couldn't wait for this one to come out, and it did not disappoint. I love the characters, Dr. B and Miranda Lovelady. I love the humor that is sarcastic and irreverent. Keep the coming Jefferson and Bass! "

" It was ok~kind of dragged out the story & was kind of Da Vinci Code-ish (not in a good way) "
— Lynne, 1/16/2014 -
" Excellent book really feeds my love of historical thrillers. But there honestly aren't a lot of thrills. The climax sneaks up on you and the ending just happens. But I enjoyed the history, both the factual and the fictionalized. I'd recommend it but it's not as good as others I've read. "
— Matthew, 1/6/2014 -
" I always enjoy a Body Farm book. I've been to Avignon and enjoyed reading about the city. I especially liked the art and history part of the book. The religious aspect wasn't too heavy handed and I though the theory of the Shroud was plausible. Over all a good book for a quick, interesting read. "

" Entertaining but not the forensic quality of Dr Bass's other books. "
— Andrea, 12/2/2013 -
" Verging on John Brown's territory, but with Bass and Jefferson style. "
— Genji, 11/8/2013 -
" Not only entertaining, but the Author's Note was quite educational and leaving me to want to learn more. "
— James, 9/27/2013 -
" Another good Body Farm mystery. The story provides an interesting mystery that is engaging and entertaining. "
— Dana, 8/14/2013 -
" This is my favorite Jefferson Bass book so far. I love the way the book is structured: a story that takes place in the present and a story that takes place in the 14th century. The combination of forensics, story, and character in the Jefferson Bass books overcomes my usual dislike of mysteries. "
— Becky, 7/3/2013 -
" This is the most recent of a series called "The Body Farm". It is an easy read with enjoyable characters and many twists and turns. "
— Cathy, 7/2/2013 -
" Good story! Just what you would expect from these authors. "
— Jim, 11/21/2012 -
" NOT BASS'S BEST BUT THE HISTORY WAS INTERESTING. WORTH READING. "
