Read Like A Travel Log
Bones are Kathy Reichs trade in stock, as we well know, and this novel is no exception, it's full of bones and just that. Bear, naked, unadorened bones. There is absolutely no meat, no gristle, nothing whatsoever in any way, shape, or form for the reader to chew on, nothing to even sink their teeth into in the way of credible characters, nothing to bite and get a hold of in the way of a decent plot... nothing! Nil! Zip! Nada!
We are presented with a skeleton and made to believe it is a full-formed, flesh and blood, living-breathing murder mystery story that will shake the religious world to its very foundations. Really? I must have missed something because, for me at least, this was nothing more than another Tempe travel log with her finding herself in the usual unlikely places, with usual unlikely people, in the usual unlikely situations, stretching credibility to its limit and beyond.
The DaVinci Code had more going for it, and that's saying something. I think Cross Bones desperately wants to be something it's not-a biting murder-mystery.
Try Bram Stoker's Dracula, at at least has more teeth! by Alexandra Wolfe
