Carved in Bone

Slightly more entertaining than Kathy Reichs's Tempe series it's still along those same lines. Very clinical at times, yet interesting and engaging. There were times though where I felt like the author was going on a tangent that had nothing to do with the story at all. Nonetheless I was entertained (though I wish there was more Body Farm interaction).

I just love “The Bodyfarm” series. I discovered them two years ago, and though I have read them out of sequence, it is easy to get to grips with them. “Carved in Bone” is the first in series and is a gripping read chock full of likeable characters, villains included. If you like Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell you will love Jefferson Bass.

I liked this mystery set at the “Body Farm” and in the Appalachian mountains. I especially liked the interactions between Brockton and police officer Art Bohanan as they work together to solve the murder of the woman in the cave. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Flesh and Bone.
