It’s dark. It’s cold. Feet and hands are bound together with rope. A searing pain pulsates through her left ankle. The odor of musty earth fills the small space. What has Tempe got herself into this time?

Reichs wastes no time getting into the suspense of the story. Right out of the gates she has her main character in grave peril with no recollection of how she got there. Slowly Tempe remembers snippets of memory and tries to piece it together in order to escape.

The 12th installment to the Temperance Brennan series is a satisfying story. Not as suspenseful as I expected, but good nonetheless. Forensic terminology dominates the conversations and the personal aspect Reichs’ writing style and descriptive details are buried along with Tempe in the shallow grave. The story is still interesting but a little predictable. I do, however, like the vast array of characters that we meet, from her in-laws to the detectives. And the romance between her and Ryan is still there. Overall, it’s a satisfying book with a nice ending.
