Publisher's Summary:

A riveting new Temperance Brennan forensic thriller from Kathy Reichs, the internationally acclaimed forensic anthropologist and New York Times best-selling author.

Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for both North Carolina and Quebec, has come from Charlotte to Montreal during the bleak days of December to testify as an expert witness at a murder trial. She should be going over her notes, but instead she's digging in the basement of a pizza parlor. Not fun. Freezing cold. Crawling rats. And now, the skeletonized remains of three young women. How did they get there? When did they die?

Homicide detective Luc Claudel, never Tempe's greatest fan, believes the bones are historic. Not his case, not his concern. The pizza parlor owner found 19th-century buttons in the cellar with the skeletons. Claudel takes them as an indicator of the bones' antiquity. But something doesn't make sense. Tempe examines the bones in her lab and establishes approximate age with Carbon 14. Further study of tooth enamel tells her where the women were born. If she's right, Claudel has three recent murders on his hands. Definitely his case.

Detective Andrew Ryan, meanwhile, is acting mysteriously. What are those private phone calls he takes in the other room, and why does he suddenly disappear just when Tempe is beginning to hope he might be a permanent part of her life? Looks like more lonely nights for Tempe and Birdie, her cat.

As Tempe searches for answers in both her personal and professional lives, she finds herself drawn deep into a web of evil from which there may be no escape. Women have disappeared, never to return. Tempe may be next.

With its powerful mix of nail-biting suspense and cutting-edge forensic science, Monday Mourning is the best yet from this superbly gifted, megastar author who, as New York Newsday says, is the "real thing".

Monday mourning

I started watching the bones series on television a couple years ago by accident and felled in love with the show. I bought this book shortly afterwards and was nervous about reading it. I found the book to be good and nothing like the show, which was a relief. Brennan in the book doesn't seem as rational or harsh. Andy wasn't in this book much, so I can't compare him to booth. The other characters from the show do not exist in this book. ...so when I read the book I felt like I was reading a completely different series than the one portrayed in the show. KAthy Reich's writing style was engaging and informative. I would recommend this book as long as you aren't expecting a screenwriting from the show.

Typically excellent

Typically excellent. Characters & plot well developed; intrigue, humor and realistic dialog; much detailed technical information making the science involved relatively understandable and informing the reader of procedures used in identifying those who die anonymously. This also provides a greater understanding of the skill and knowledge necessary for Dr. Brennan to effectively do her job. My only complaint is these detailed descriptions at times go on for what seems an eternity. This is my problem not, Ms. Reichs. I've learned to skim for the highlights then quickly move on with the story. I found Tempe's friend Anne to be more distracting than helpful to the storyline.
