About this listen

A gripping high-stakes thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, from Number One Bestselling author Kathy Reichs.

EVEN ON AN ISLAND PARADISE, DANGER STILL LURKS

Called in to examine what is left of a body struck by lightning, Tempe traces an unusual tattoo to its source and is soon embroiled in a much larger case. Young men – tourists – have been disappearing on the islands of Turks and Caicos for years. Seven years ago, the first victim was found with both hands cut off; the other visitors vanished without a trace. But recently, tantalizing leads have emerged and only Tempe can unravel them.

Maddeningly, the victims seem to have nothing in common – other than the unusual locations where their bodies are eventually found, and the fact that the young men all seem to be the least likely to be involved in foul play. Do these attacks have something to do with the islands’ seething culture of gang violence? Tempe isn’t so sure. And then she turns up disturbing clues that what’s at stake may actually have global significance.

It isn’t long before the sound of a ticking clock grows menacingly loud, and then Tempe herself becomes a target . . .

Usually I cannot stop listening to Kathy Reichs' books, and was really looking forward to this one... but it is not up to her usual heart pounding moments standards.
Tempe is grumpy and boring, the killer is obvious, and the other characters are just bland... wont be listening to this one again... sorry KR, must try harder seems to be the feeling left after this book

Not your normal Tempe

As always an engaging book by Kathy Reich. The characters working alongside Temperance add to an enjoyable read.

Great book

I usually love Kathy Reichs books and look forward to them but this storyline just didn't grip me at all and very little forensic anthropology to provide interest.

Not Kathy's best

Format: audiobook
Narrator: Linda Emond

I’ve seen the tv series based on these books and honestly the Temperance Brennan portrayed on tv is totally different to the Tempie in this book.
It’s a good story and I enjoyed it but feel I need to read some of the others in this series to really get into it completely.

Narration was good.

I have always been a fan of Kathy Reichs novel but had in the past read the books. This was my first time with an Audible book and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I listened to the whole book whilst driving to and from a work meeting. It was gripping. The explanation of the plot may have dragged a bit but I would still give this book a 100% recommendation

Great story and great performance

I love this series, I love Temperance Brennan, but I did not love this book.
The story - such as it is - is rather weak and flimsy. It just didn’t hold my attention at all.
I also guessed the killer hours before the end. Which was disappointing. Something about this plot seemed rushed - maybe juvenile even.
Sorry - will read next book - but won’t reread this one. Yawn.

Sadly rather tedious

This was not up to the standard expected of Reichs. I was disappointed in the content and would not recommend it.

Disappointing

I've worked through this series following the exploits of Temperence Brennan, with many on Audible. Linda Emond is now Tempe for me. This latest has the novelty of a Caribbean setting (although the Turks and Caicos tourist board may not be delighted).
Kathy Riechs is the queen of chapter end cliff hangers. When I decided to just finish the chapter, I'm forced to go on to the next.
