Description

When innocent blood is spilled, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan deciphers the shattering truth it holds in this exciting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs.

Nine-year-old Emily Anne Toussaint is fatally shot on a Montreal street. A North Carolina teenager disappears from her home, and parts of her skeleton are found hundreds of miles away. These shocking deaths propel Tempe Brennan from north to south, and deep into a shattering investigation inside the bizarre culture of outlaw motorcycle gangs—where one misstep could bring disaster for herself or someone she loves.

From blood-splatter patterns and ground-penetrating radar to bone-sample analysis, Deadly Decisions triumphantly combines the authenticity of a world-class forensic professional with the narrative power of a brilliant crime-writing star.

Listened to the audiobook version of this book. The story was fine, but I get frustrated by Reichs writing. The endless description of menial tasks, like what Brennan eats, what kind of workout or cleaning she does. Also cliffhangers at the end of every single chapter? Seriously Lady, that's neither necessary nor building up tension. It's just annoying... And the thing I disliked most: info dumps. Brennan visits some specialist, sits down and then gets told all about motor cycle gangs / hydrocephalus / more motor cycle gangs / blood spatter analysis and of course motor cycle gangs. While some of it is really informative, isn't it enough to know about the specific blood spatters in the story instead of how the analysis works in general and how many different kinds of patterns there are?

Auch das Buch schlummerte schon etwas länger auf meinem Ebook SuB, es wurde also Zeit das Buch zu befreien. Das Buch ist mit 78 Seitenrecht kurz, allerdings hin und wieder lese ich solche Storys sehr gerne. Der Schreibstil ist angenhem und lässt sich flüssig hintereinander weg lesen. Der Fall ist spannend und es wurde ein wichtiges Thema angesprochen. Die Protagonisten treffe ich zum ersten Mal, denn es ist das erste Buch von Kathy Reichs was ich je gelesen habe. Allerdings macht die Novelle Lust auf mehr von der Autorin und das erste Buch der Reihe, wartet bereits darauf von mir gelesen zu werden. Zusammenfassend ist dies eine angenehme Story für zwischendurch. Es gibt 4 von 5 Sterne
