Deadly Decisions

fullDescription

When innocent blood is spilled, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan deciphers the shattering truth it holds in this exciting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs.
Nine-year-old Emily Anne Toussaint is fatally shot on a Montreal street. A North Carolina teenager disappears from her home, and parts of her skeleton are found hundreds of miles away. These shocking deaths propel Tempe Brennan from north to south, and deep into a shattering investigation inside the bizarre culture of outlaw motorcycle gangs—where one misstep could bring disaster for herself or someone she loves.

From blood-splatter patterns and ground-penetrating radar to bone-sample analysis, Deadly Decisions triumphantly combines the authenticity of a world-class forensic professional with the narrative power of a brilliant crime-writing star.

     July 3, 2000
     Critics (and publicists) often compare Reichs to Patricia Cornwell, as both are women who write bestselling thrillers featuring a female forensic expert. There's a significant difference between them, though. Reichs brings to her grisly novels a scientific detail and authenticity that Cornwell rarely matches--a virtue arising from Reich's background as a top forensic anthropologist for the governments of North Carolina and Quebec, a background mirrored by that of her heroine, Tempe Brennan. But Cornwell--a journalist before she turned novelist--is a more accomplished writer than Reichs, and her more fluid prose and plotting support a heroine who exudes a vitality that Brennan doesn't. Reichs's strengths and weaknesses are apparent in this third novel (after Death du Jour) featuring narrator Brennan, which finds the crime fighter tangling with outlaw motorcycle gangs in Montreal. The novel opens as Brennan, "sorting badly mangled tissue" in an autopsy room, is interrupted by the arrival of another body: that of a girl, nine, caught by a bullet that one gang, the Heathens, had intended for a rival Viper. The mangled tissue belongs to two Heathens who'd been en route to bomb the Vipers' headquarters: war is raging among bikers in Montreal, and Brennan is soon caught in the battles, not least because her visiting nephew, Kit, is enamored with bikers--including some involved in the war. The narrative carries Brennan to assorted bikers' hangouts, and to much forensic digging, all of which Reichs handles with an admirable intensity and veracity. Still, the novel has a stiff, storyboarded feel, with a subplot involving Brennan's cop lover--has he turned gang member?--particularly intrusive. The pacing is lopsided, laborious in front and action-stuffed at the back, and the narrative spreads its message about the malfeasance of outlaw bikers with a heavy hand. Overall, the novel works, but the gears show one time too many. Agent, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh at the Writer's Shop. Major ad/promo; 6-city author tour.

   • content: Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is plunged into the middle of a bikers' war in Quebec. She is committed to bringing to justice the murderer of a 9-year old girl caught in the cross fire. Lorelei King is a versatile narrator. She reads the sprinkling of French as smoothly as one would expect of the bilingual doctor. Her use of accents for various characters is authentic and without the exaggeration. King also manages to convey the attitudes of Brennan's teenaged nephew, a Texan, who is enthralled with the bikers, the biker informants, and the various macho cops. J.E.M.

   • content: Abridging Reichs's complex books, rich in detail, would seem to be a daunting task. It has nevertheless been accomplished here (by George Truett), retaining the book's story, spirit, and impact. Katherine Borowitz's precise and evocative narration complements Tempe Brennan's latest, a foray into the world of biker groups, violent death, and dealing with a sometimes difficult nephew as a houseguest in her home in Quebec. Borowitz's reading of French phrases is perfectly voiced, and she makes real a range of complex characters--from outlaw bikers to French-Canadian police. As Tempe works to identify the skeleton of a young girl and find out who is apparently threatening her, Borowitz crafts a flawless performance that brings the listener totally into Tempe's life.
