I recommend you start reading this Kathy Reichs series! She's an incredible writer and an extremely respected Forensic Anthropologist in her own right. Temperance Brennan is a brilliant Forensic Anthropologist, who assists the police in investigating, some of the most horrific and intricately designed murders. Alongside her intertwined and complex personal life. A MUST read!

Absolutely brilliant from the first chapter it got me hooked. Really got you stuck in the plot,got you think like the main character. I could not put it down. Gripping to the end.

Great story. Bit slow in parts.
