41. Kathy Reichs - Deadly Decisions

"Crime writer Reichs is amazing! Once again, readers will be eager to learn the grisly details of how her forensic anthropologist heroine, Dr. Tempe Brennan, teases information from the bones of mutilated, decomposed, often animal-gnawed human bodies. Here, Tempe is outraged at the death of a child in a war among bikers vying for the Quebec province drug trade, and she joins the investigation. Tension mounts as she becomes embroiled in the rivalries of outlaw motorcycle gangs, "the mafia of the new millennium." The case becomes more complex as another biker is killed and the death and dismemberment of a teenage girl years before in North Carolina are linked to the Quebec biker mayhem. Then Tempe's Harley-riding nephew from Houston gets involved, revving up the plot as the tale speeds across the finish line to a satisfying conclusion. The author of the best-selling D j Dead, Reichs roots her skillful storytelling in her own experience as forensic anthropologist in both Montreal and North Carolina." - Amazon.com

Can you tell I'm on a Kathy Reichs kick? One thing I found that I like about Reich's books is that while the main character remains the same, the cases she works on are varied. The only thing I'm getting a little tired of is that in each one of these books, someone who is close to her either gets killed or seriously injured. That gets a little depressing after a while. Other than that, this was another excellent book.
