Devil worship or just plain creepy? This is the question Tempe is faced with this time.

Temperance Brennan’s back at it again, but in North Carolina. Here in the states for the summer season, Tempe finds a creepy ritualistic display that includes a skull that is definitely human and many symbols that make her believe it is devil worship. As she tries to hunt down the person who made this sort of “altar,” she runs into something much more gruesome and disturbing. Soon she’s trying to find killers, or the same killer, connected to four different murders.

This is the 11th installment to Reichs’ Temperance Brennan series. This isn’t as great as some of her other books, but all series have to have some sort of dud. But, this one isn’t a complete disappointment. You do get to see more of Tempe’s emotions and imperfections, which are nice to see and make the character more relatable. But the case is a little weak and she spends most of her time exploring other pagan religions versus describing the forensic science. So if this is your first experience with the Brennan series, read a few more before you decide you don’t like the series.
