When a web sleuth visits Temperance Brennan with theories and new evidence in a cold case, she starts Brennan off on an investigation that eventually solves two missing persons cases, a decades-old murder, and a present-day homicide.  In her personal life, Brennan finally gives Ryan an answer to his proposal.

Speaking in Bones is the 18th entry in Kathy Reichs’ Temperence Brennan series and is now the seventh book in the series that I’ve read.  My enjoyment of the series only grows the further away we get from the ending of the television show, Bones, that it inspired.
