FATAL VOYAGE
Read by Katherine Borowitz

A commercial jetliner disaster has brought forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan to the North Carolina mountains as a member of the investigative agency DMORT. As bomb theories abound, Tempe discovers evidence that raises alarming questions -- and gets her thrown from the DMORT team. Relentless in her pursuit, Tempe uncovers a shocking tale of deceit as she probes her way into frightening territory -- where someone wants her silenced . . .

GRAVE SECRETS
Read by Katherine Borowitz

While trying to piece together the violence of the past on a dig in Guatemala, forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan becomes involved in a fresh wave of terror. When the horrific sounds of a fatal attack on two colleagues is heard on a blood-chilling satellite call and four privileged young women vanish from Guatemala City, Tempe is called in to investigate. Soon she finds herself caught in a dangerous web of power, money and greed that threatens to destroy her.

BARE BONES
Read by Michele Pawk

A string of disturbing cases has put Tempe Brennan's vacation plans on hold. Instead, she heads to the lab to analyze charred remains from a suspicious fire, and a mysterious black residue from a small plane crash. But most troubling of all are the bones discovered on a remote farm. X-rays and DNA may link the crimes, but they can't reveal who is closing in on Tempe -- and how far they will go to keep her from uncovering the truth.

Reviews

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun collection of three audio books from Kathy Reichs. I’m still loving listening to these. In this collection they did switch to a new narrator by book three so with a new person her interpretation of the voices did throw me off some. I’ve found it’s a very good thing I’m not reading these because I most likely would have quickly jumped to the last chapter to read who the bad guy is. Ms. Reichs keeps you guessing all novel long.

Definitely my least favourite of all the Kathy Reichs books. It almost seemed that she forgot that the genre was mystery/thriller instead of historical and religious awareness. I felt that the continuous debate about bones referenced by numbers was a bit much. I was glad to see Tempe and Ryan happily together finally.

I liked the Appalachian setting for Fatal Voyage and Bare Bones. The story in Central America, Grave Secrets, is more disturbing. Good entertainment.
