Cross Bones
Cross Bones - Kathy Reichs
Why haven't I read her before? This was a freebie from the Book Expo, and to be honest, I found the cover ugly. So, logically, I was resistant to reading it. Hubby finally convinced me to take it to Halifax on my vacation, and once I started it, I couldn't read it fast enough. Really good plotting, nice sparse character development (not too much exposition), and the perfect pace. Loved it. Turns out this is the book series that the TV show 'Bones' is based on, and some critics hail Reichs as the successor to Patricia Cornwell. Not sure if I'd go that far, but a Brennan-Scarpetta crossover would be a geek dream come true.
Ignore the garish yellow cover and enjoy this book! Left it in Halifax for my big little sister to read.
