The Bone Collection
The Bone Collection: Four Novellas | Kathy Reichs
10 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
A collection of chilling tales featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan including the untold story of her first case. The No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs is renowned for suspense and fascinating forensic detail. Now she brings that same artistry to her first volume of collected short stories. In First Bones, a prequel to Reichss very first novel, Dj Dead, she at last reveals how Tempe became a forensic anthropologist. In this never-before-published story, Tempe recalls the case that lured her from a promising career in academia into the grim but addictive world of criminal investigation. Three more stories take Tempe from the low country of the Florida Everglades, where she makes a grisly discovery in the stomach of an eighteen-foot Burmese python, to the heights of Mount Everest, where a frozen corpse is unearthed. No matter where she goes, Tempes cases make for the most gripping reading. .

When I hear the words bones, I automatically think of this show. I‘d love to read the books someday.

Caterina I enjoyed the show, but when I tried to read the books I couldn't stand the writing. Very disappointing. 🤷 5y
jb72 @Caterina I‘ve heard the writing can be a bit dry and technical. I wonder if the books progress like the show. 5y

Kaila-ann There‘s no Booth in the books. I googled lol. I tried to read the first one and it was so dry and boring. I DNF‘ed. 5y
jb72 @Kaila-ann well that would change the story quite a bit. 5y
Kaila-ann @jb72 yeah, it was a hard pass for me after that. Love me some Booth 😍 5y
jb72 @Kaila-ann Yeah he is a really good character and so cute too! 5y

When books remind me of the need to read other books on my TBR list...note to self: read Stephen King's The Shining!

britt_brooke I love when that happens! Moves it up on the ol' TBR. (edited) 7y

Containes Four Short stories which are ok but nothing special or thrilling. The stories are too superficial to be bounding but easy to read and entertaining enough.

The book is an easy to pick up and read. Each stories is long enough to get you interested, short enough that you can easily read each in one sitting. my favourite was Tempe first case, it was interesting to see how she ended up as a forensic anthropologist and how really all down to Slidell. One of the reason I love this series is that I always learn something new, from the protocol when climbing Everest, birds and effects on airplanes etc.

Kathy Reichs is one of my favorite authors. She is the reason I started reading crime novels. Reading this book for the short story "First Bones" that I haven't read yet.

I always love Kathy reichs and this book did not disappoint at all. As it's a collection of stories it's easy to settle down and read a whole story at a time Good bedtime reading
