I had not heard of Kathy Reichs until the show ‘Bones’ came out this past year. I enjoy the show, especially the character of Temperance. I eagerly picked up this book for summer reading. I took it back to the library after only 4 chapters. I understand that the tv and movie industries change books for on-screen adaptations, but the character in the book was so completely different than the Temperance on the tv show that I couldn’t deal with it. My ‘Bones’ isn’t a recovering alcoholic (that i can recall), who has a daughter and actually references popular culture!

I just couldn’t see myself investing in the series in book form along with the series on TV… and since I follow enough mystery book series as it is, I gave up on this one.
