Epigraph |
AS those who study them have come
To learn, bones make good
witnesses - although they speak
softly, they never lie and they never forget."
Dr. Clyde Collins Snow,
Forensics anthropologist "The more outre and grotesque an
incident is the more carefully
it deserves to be examined, and the
very point which appears to
complicate the case is, when duly
considered and scientifically
handled, the one which is mostly
likely to elucidate it."
Sherlock Holmes

Okay so maybe I'm a little nitpicky, but I love both the Reichs novels and the TV show, and have made room for both of them and accommodated their differences, but this book doesn't seem to fit into either area well (and it wasn't good enough to make me WANT it to, really, either). ( )
