Story4.5 out of 5 stars 87
It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

Publisher's Summary
No one speaks the language of suspense more brilliantly than Kathy Reichs, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the acclaimed Temperance Brennan series. In Speaking in Bones, the forensic anthropologist finds herself drawn into a world of dark secrets and dangerous beliefs, where good and evil blur.
Professionally, Temperance Brennan knows exactly what to do - test, analyze, identify. Her personal life is another story. She's at a loss, wondering how to answer police detective Andrew Ryan's marriage proposal. But the matter of matrimony takes a backseat when murder rears its head.
Hazel "Lucky" Strike - a strident amateur detective who mines the Internet for cold cases - comes to Brennan with a tape recording of an unknown girl being held prisoner and terrorized. Strike is convinced the voice is that of 18-year-old Cora Teague, who went missing more than three years earlier. Strike is also certain that the teenager's remains are gathering dust in Temperance Brennan's lab.
Brennan has doubts about working with a self-styled websleuth. But when the evidence seems to add up, Brennan's next stop is the treacherous backwoods where the chilling recording (and maybe Cora Teague's bones) were discovered. Her forensic field trip turns up only more disturbing questions - along with gruesome proof of more untimely deaths.
While local legends of eerie nocturnal phenomena and sinister satanic cults abound, it's a zealous and secretive religious sect that has Brennan spooked and struggling to separate the saints from the sinners. But there's nothing, including fire and brimstone, that can distract her from digging up the truth and taking down a killer - even as Brennan finds herself in a place where angels fear to tread, devils demand their due, and she may be damned no matter what.

Gripping !!
I have watch the ‘Bones’ series on TV. This book is a different part of Tempi’s career. I took a road trip to see my sister who is also a ‘ Bones’ fan and introduced her to this story.
The story is gripping,exciting,and a page turner( if it had pages). It lasted my whole driving time, plus I had to finish listening to it before I could unpack from my trip, that’s how wonderful it is.

Laughable, distracting accents
The overall story is good but the performance is lacking. Ryan's Canadian accent is horrendous and borderline offensive. Katie isn't portrayed the way others have portrayed her either. overall I found the performance a distraction from the story

not my favorite but still good
I sincerely prefer Emond as a performer not that Borowitz is not good but sometimes her performance bugs me. For the story so far I thinks it's my least favorite of all the Temperance's book cause she made way to stupid decision to be real, I still enjoyed it though. least favorite out of 20 if we are counting the ".5". one had to be.
