Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. On our list of gift suggestions for the holidays…we like to include some great books. For the cooks in the family…Lidia’s The Art of Pasta is wonderfully satisfying. That’s what you would expect from the wonderful chef, author, restaurateur and PBS personality Lidia Bastianich. For the crime solving readers…there is the newest Temperance Brennan novel, Evil Bones from author and real life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs. It’s the 24th in a series and she told us…the science…which she has kept real…has seen big changes..in the use of DNA for instance..

“We’re looking at bones and trying to tease from the skeleton what we can. Identity and then second of all, what happened to this person. What was the manner or cause of death?”

Check out our full interview online. The title again…Evil Bones from Kathy Reichs.
