Devil Bones

fullDescription

Kathy Reichs's eleventh forensic mystery thriller, in which Temperance Brennan heads to Charlotte, North Carolina to solve a demonic plot involving ritual sacrifice before the town's vengeful citizens take matters into their own hands.
In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about and makes a grisly discovery: a decapitated chicken, animal bones, and cauldrons containing beads, feathers, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In the center of the shrine rests the skull of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, on a nearby lakeshore, the headless body of a teenage boy is found by a man walking his dog.

Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is called in to investigate, and a complex and gripping tale unfolds. Nothing is clear—neither when the deaths occurred, nor where. Was the skull brought to the cellar or was the girl murdered there? Why is the boy's body remarkably well preserved? Led by a preacher turned politician, citizen vigilantes blame devil worshippers and Wiccans, and Temperance will need all of her expertise to get to the real culprit first.

     Dr. Temperance Brennan’s quest to identify two corpses pits her against citizen vigilantes intent on a witch-hunt in bestseller Reichs’s exciting 11th thriller to feature the forensic anthropologist (after 2007’s Bones to Ashes
     ). While working in Charlotte, N.C., Brennan investigates remains unearthed during a housing renovation and discovers disturbing clues possibly pointing to voodoo or Santeria. She must determine if the bones, including the skull of a teenage girl, are linked to an unidentified headless torso found in a nearby lake. Intent on using the deaths as the cornerstone of his crusade against immorality, fundamentalist preacher turned politician Boyce Lingo claims that the bodies bear the mark of devil worshippers. With the help of Det. Erskine “Skinny” Slidell, Brennan unearths a tangled web of dirty politics, religious persecution and male prostitution. Reichs, whose work inspired the hit TV series Bones
     , once again expertly blends science and complex character development.

     October 27, 2008
     Linda Emond’s crisp and dry vocal interpretation of Reichs’s Temperance Brennan, crime fiction’s second most popular forensic expert, is on target. The cool approach works fine when the “5'5", feisty and 40-plus” heroine describes stumbling into a dark basement and finding a witches’ brew of pagan artifacts and human and animal remains. It lets Temperance and the listener calmly contemplate her jumbled, alcohol-prone, romantically impaired life. And it helps in sorting out the clues for several gruesome killings that may or may not be connected and may or may not involve what one character describes as a “murderous devil conspiracy.” But even Emond can’t make Reichs’s endless side trips into North Carolina history, geographical key notes and descriptions of the roots of voodoo and the Wicca religion sound anything but academic. Spare us the lectures; there’s more than enough plot without the unnecessary digressions. A Scribner hardcover (Reviews, June 9).

   • content: Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is once again called upon to analyze the remains of various murder victims. The listener learns about Wicca, voodoo, Santeria, and various other alternative religions as over-the-top characters with seemingly shady motives weave in and out of the plot. Barbara Rosenblat competently handles multiple characters of varied backgrounds, doing a particularly good job with the male voices. However, her portrayal of Brennan occasionally becomes shrill, and the sharp contrast in tone makes these shifts especially jarring. The plot is contrived in parts, making it difficult for even the most talented narrator to tell a plausible story. M.H.N. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

   • content: Linda Emond easily acclimates herself to Medical Examiner Temperance Brennan's well-known sleuthing style, portraying her empathy as well as her forensic gifts. Emond is an expert at reeling off a list of medical procedures with a mix of drama and aplomb and at portraying the resolve of a heroine who tiptoes around bureaucrats and a posturing preacher-turned-politician to do the best job she possible can. Brennan needs to muster all her skills for her eleventh mystery, which begins as several headless corpses of teenagers and dismembered body parts are discovered around Charlotte, North Carolina, and linked to some kind of alternative religion. Mixing accents and moods, Emond moves easily from high tension to snappy dialogue, from murders to Tempe's love issues. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
