Description

Featuring a preview of the highly anticipated new thriller Speaking in Bones, this eBook original novella showcases #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs at the peak of her powers. In Bones on Ice, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan gets wrapped up in the ultimate cold case: a death on Mount Everest.

It is called the “death zone”: the point on Everest, nearly five miles high, above which a climber cannot be rescued. More than 250 souls have lost their lives there. Most of the bodies remain, abandoned, frozen in place. When an earthquake leads to a miraculous recovery, Dr. Temperance Brennan is hired to identify the frozen mummified human corpse. The victim is the daughter of a wealthy Charlotte couple who never got the chance to say goodbye. But far from offering solace and closure, Tempe’s findings only provoke more questions. What happened on Mount Everest? Was the young woman’s death an accident? Why aren’t the other climbers talking? And how far will those hiding the truth go to make sure the past stays buried?

Praise for Kathy Reichs and the Temperance Brennan series

“Reichs, a forensic anthropologist, makes her crime novels intriguingly realistic.”—Entertainment Weekly

“One of the most distinctive and talented writers in the genre.”—Sandra Brown

“Every minute in the morgue with Tempe is golden.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Each book in Kathy Reichs’s fantastic Temperance Brennan series is better than the last.”—Lisa Scottoline

“Reichs always delivers a pulse-pounding story.”—Publishers Weekly “I love Kathy Reichs‎—always scary, always suspenseful, and I always learn something.”—Lee Child

I think that a different narrator could have done a better job with the story.

Another fantastic novella

I have come to love Kathy Reich’s novellas; each one is a brilliant appetizer between major releases. “Bones on Ice” was no exception.

When Tempe Brennan is called in during the weekend to assist on a body identification for the late daughter of a well to do family, she is unaware of the can of worms she is about to open. Tempe's boss is adamant that this case would be straight forward; yet it is turning out to be anything but.

Is this really a simple case of death by exposure on Mount Everest? Or is Brighton Hallis a victim of an ice cold murder?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In many cases I worry about authors bringing out novellas between books. A lot of times novellas lack an authors’ usual quality however in this case, this was not a problem. As with many of Reichs' books, I learned a lot during the course of the plot and I liked the fact that I came out of the book knowing a bit about the culture and terminology of mountain climbing as well as the detrimental biological effects of the extreme climate on the human body. All-in-all, it made for a gripping and informing read; or in the case of audio book, listen.

In regards to the audio version, I found the narrator pleasant enough to listen to; I do not have any complaints about the voice. It was a nice, short audio book that was perfect for a 'one evening sit' listen.

That being said, if I MUST state a complaint with this novella, it would be that I felt certain scenes were rushed. Some of the conclusions seemed a touch contrived but this was not a major issue; I just wish that 100 or so pages could have been added in order to fill out the story.

In conclusion, if you are a fan of the Tempe Brennan Series I would not hesitate in recommending you read this competent addition. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, "Speaking in Bones."
