Another well-crafted installment in this entertaining crime thriller series.
How appropriate to read and review this ARC while in the midst of watching the show "Bones" from start to finish. I'm on Season 11 and can't help but shake my head as the characters on television are only loosely based on those in these books. And by that I mean, the books are so much better! In fact, I really like Tempe a whole lot more on paper.
I'm a real sucker for medical details of any kind and I love that about this series. Since the author knows her field, it translates to excellent clinical descriptions. The main plot of this one grabs immediately -- Tempe is examining bones thought to be related to the disappearances of young, good-looking men on the islands of Turks and Caicos. The only thing the men have in common is that they came to this Caribbean paradise and vanished. In addition, Tempe rides along with a local detective to a really strange death scene: a luxury boat is floating near shore about 600 miles off course and all of the passengers are dead. Nothing is wrong with the boat's systems. None of the victims has obvious injuries. As usual, there are several different tracks of investigation going on and Tempe gets involved.
I always look forward to a new installment in the series, this being one of the few that I still try to keep up with. Thank you to NetGalley and Scribner for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.
Sure, you could read this as a standalone, but why? Try the previous 21 first!
