Bones - Buried Deep
Tempe’s work at the Jeffersonian Institute is put on hold when Special Agent Seeley Booth, stalled on a case deposing a Chicago mob family, calls her in to assist with a bizarre discovery: a plastic bag of skeletal remains – and a chilling note – left on the steps of a Federal building. Tempe determines the bones are from different corpses, suggesting a serial killer’s handiwork. A suspect is quickly taken into custody, but Tempe senses the case is far from closed. And as Booth’s Mafia case heats up with violent twists and bloody discoveries, including ties to one of Chicago’s most gruesome and notorious killers, Tempe must unravel the story of the bones, where the truth lies buried – in order to stay alive.

Synopsis
Dr. Temperance Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline, has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. Law enforcement calls upon her to assist with murder investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless. Brennan often finds herself partnered with special investigator Seely Booth of the FBI's Homicide Investigation Unit. Booth, a former Army sniper who mistrusts science and scientists, believes the key to solving crimes lies in discovering the truth from good old-fashioned detective work. Brennan's equally brilliant colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-Legal Lab include: earthy and bawdy Angela Montenegro, who's created a unique way to render an original crime scene in a 3-D computer image; Brennan's assistant, Zack Addy, a young prodigy whose genius IQ actually gets in the way of finishing any of the several doctorates he's begun; "the bug guy" Dr. Jack Hodgins, who's an expert on insects, spores and minerals, but conspiracy is his hobby; and Brennan's boss, the imposing lab director Dr. Daniel Goodman."We hope my readers will realize that it's another manifestation of Tempe, and that they are in on this inside joke" says the real Reichs.

Rather disappointing
Review date: 2008-07-31 Rating: 4 out of 10
The story is quite good and I usually enjoy other works by this author, but it is clear he doesn't watch the show. The characters are all close to the show, but not quite right. The language used doesn't always match the established characters (e.g Jack keeps calling Bones 'Temperance') and how the author describes the charcters physically isn't right - e.g Zach wearing glasses and Booth apparently has "steel-blue" eyes?! Small details that shouldn't detract from a decent thriller, but as a big fan of the show these details stand out and pulled me out of the narrative.

Review date: 2007-08-14 Rating: 8 out of 10
kept me guessing until the end and the story kept twisting and turning until the end that i had no idea who had done it or what was going to happen next. didnt think it was gonna be as good as other "detective stories" that i have read but i couldnt put it down. also the flirting between booth and brennan just adds that vital spark of humour to kept the tone of the book becoming too dark.
fast paced, a real paced page turner. if you enjoy csi then giev this one a go.
