Bones on Ice by Kathy Reichs
This is another example of an novella being better than the full length books. This had an interesting setting (mountains) and plot (mountain climbing, accident or murder?) and deserved to be a full length book. I was captivated from the start. The bones being sent from Everest back to Charlotte for identification and burial, then the discovery that they weren't who we were expecting them to be. The surprise that the presumed dead was being investigated for fraud and then most likely killed someone who looked very similar and took on her life to escape prison only to be found by someone she was with on the initial climb and then possibly murdered by him? That is soap opera worthy twists and turns. Tempe again went somewhere she shouldn't have, but at least she warned someone. But her luck is going to run out. And then, the book ends with Andrew calling and her ignoring it! This is why I keep listening to this series. Sometimes, the stories are so compelling without being heartbreaking.
