Review: Fire and Bones

Fire and Bones by Kathy Reichs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tempe has been asked to look at a new crime scene.  A series of arson attacks in Washington, DC have taken place and Tempe plans to get to the bottom of them.  She teams up with a journalist who helps her research bootleggers and racketeers from the early 1900s.  When another building in this historic area burns to the ground, Tempe wonders if the attacks are more specific.  Is someone keeping an eye on Tempe?  What will she uncover during her investigation?

Fire and Bones is the twenty-third book in the Temperance Brennan series.  Although this series is long-running, readers could jump into this book as a stand-alone and enjoy it anyway.  One of the quirks I liked about this book is that Tempe enjoyed junk food and fast food.  So many characters now push “clean living”, and it is wonderful to know that others struggle with eating quickly, even if they are in a book.  The mystery was spot on, and fans of the series will not be disappointed.
