Fire and Bones by Kathy Reichs
We have a change of scenery for this book; Washington D.C., and new characters. The crimes were interesting, arson. We also had an unexpected body in a bag. I liked Ivy, she was a good foil for Tempe and they ended up building a good friendship that I would like to see continue in later books, but I know won't. I did not like the medical examiner, she was manipulative and uncommunicative. I was surprised that the fires were because of a generational feud; that was interesting. That the third fire was set by the cheating boyfriend was not; I knew it before Tempe did. I was not pleased with Ryan in this book, but at the same time, he wasn't wrong; she does get distracted and put cases before their relationship and it needed to be said. The last few books in this series have been much stronger than some of the middle books and as of now I am entirely caught up on this series. Overall, I would say this was a good series to dip my toe into the crime genre; interesting and detailed but not too graphic.
