Kathy Reichs' successful "bones" crime fiction novels made their way into a popular television series. Main character Dr.Temperance Brennan, a brilliant forensic anthropologist, amazes readers and viewers alike with her ability to solve crimes using her vast scientific knowledge.
In "Spider Bones" Tempe makes her way to Hawaii to figure out a comfusing puzzle of identifying veterans supposedly killed in View Nam. While in the Aloha state, she is asked to assist in the identification of a man discovered in the ocean in several parts.
When her life if threatened, law enforcement decides there is much more to these cases than originally thought, and what Tempe discovers leads to a dangerous group of criminals.
Kathy Reichs, like Tempe, is a forensic anthropologist, and fills her novels with a smorgasbord of scientific facts. While most of this technical knowledge is beyond the comprehension of the average reader, it makes for interesting reading.
"Spider Bones" follows a complicated plot, and you will have to pay close attention to recall who is buried in whose coffin. But it is definitely a good pick to fill the hours on a cold winter week-end.
