    Sequel to MONDAY MOURNING
  

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2022*

It's been a few years since I read MONDAY MOURNING, and BONES NEVER LIE is a sequel. I remembered bits and pieces of the first book, and was fine with the way this one flowed: enough "reminders" to not interfere with the story line yet refresh my memory.In most of her Temperance Brennan books, the author has taken it upon herself to educate the reader on an obscure branch of medicine or science. This time, it was CAIS, a genetic abnormality, but she didn't go overboard with the explanation like she has in prior novels.I was glad to see Ryan back in the story.

    As Good As Earlier Reichs Work
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2014*

In anticipation of this book coming out, I re-read "Monday Mourning," where we first encounter the infamous Anique Pomerleau.  I was struck by how well the story gelled, how the characters act like real people, how the motivations are spot on, and the formula she uses for narrative - dialogue - investigation - action are pitch perfect.  Even her "damsal in distress" ending made particular sense to the story.  (When Tempe has been the damsal, it has been tiring, but the last few books have giving Tempe some gumption and skills to face off any who might go after her.  I much prefer that, as well as the times she helps others in danger.)  Since that book, the formula has been more uneven, the characters sometimes less interesting, their actions less logical, etc.  But she has her mojo back, IMHO, and it shows in her last book and especially in this one.  I also like how the ending of "Monday Mourning" had an impact on the action of this story.  If I have any criticism it is that we did not hear about the status of many in Tempe's extended friends and family and pets.  (Although we did finally meet the famous Daisy.)  If there is one thing I especially admire in Kathy Reichs, it is how she describes the little details of a life, including those who impact that life in a way to make the character seem more real and more human.  Some of those details were missing here, but one could chalk it up to Tempe's immersion in this particular case.  Let's hope she brings us up to date next time on characters we missed this time.  And speaking of next time, based on the ending here, I will be anticipating #18 more than usual, as it appears a favorite regular is on deck to be important to the next story.  But you won't get any more than that out of me, no spoilers here.
