Break No Bones – Kathy Reichs

While working on a dig of prehistoric graves with a group of students, Dr. Temperence Brennan finds a much more recent corpse.  She calls in an old friend, the local coroner, who asks Brennan for help in identifying the remains.  When more bodies show up, she teams with the local sheriff, her ex-husband, and her Canadian boyfriend to identify the bodies and break the case.

Break No Bones, the ninth novel from Kathy Reichs to feature Temperence Brennan, was released in 2006.  After a long absence, I returned to the series last year and found that, years removed from the television adaptation Bones, I was able to enjoy the books for what they were and not worry about the differences between the show and its source material.  With 23 books in the series, I have plenty of catching up to do,
