Back again, yes I know I said I'd try to post one a day but it was exam week this week and I got stupid busy. As a result I will (attempt to) post reviews 2-4 today (depending on how far I get I may post the remainder tomorrow with review #5).
Fatal Voyage is a book written by Kathy Reichs about acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Yes, her books are in fact, the inspiration for "Bones" the wonderful TV series. Although, if you watch the series and read the books there are some noticeable differences but that's to be expected.
As I was saying, Fatal Voyage is about a plane crash in the mountains in North Carolina, mostly. I say mostly in that the plane crash is what brings Tempe down from Montreal as part of the investigating DMORT team. But is there something more sinister at work? Is there something else going on in the area around the crash site, how far will Tempe go to solve this case? Does she get in over her head? (She's Bones, what do you think?)
I really loved this book it was riveting and exciting, just like watching an episode of Bones. Plus, you gotta love a book that starts with a great first line like "I stared at the woman flying through the trees." I mean, that raises all sorts of questions, is said woman alive, is it a corpse (or head?)? is she hang-gliding, zip-lining? what's going on?
Will Tempe solve the case in time? Was it just a plane crash or is there something more sinister at work? Why am I asking so many questions? Why am I asking you?
Anyway, I do think you should read this book, especially if you're a fan of Bones, or CSI it's absolutely spell-binding and definitely worth the read.
OK, that's my second Christmas Countdown review done (I know, I know, I'm 2 behind). As always, feel free to review, comment, tweet, whatever. As a side note, did anyone see the Carmilla season finale? OMG!!
