About the Author

She divides her time between Charlotte and Montreal and is a frequent expert witness in criminal trials.

Reviews

Linda Emond's crisp and dry vocal interpretation of Reichs's Temperance Brennan, crime fiction's second most popular forensic expert, is on target. The cool approach works fine when the "5'5", feisty and 40-plus" heroine describes stumbling into a dark basement and finding a witches' brew of pagan artifacts and human and animal remains. It lets Temperance and the listener calmly contemplate her jumbled, alcohol-prone, romantically impaired life. And it helps in sorting out the clues for several gruesome killings that may or may not be connected and may or may not involve what one character describes as a "murderous devil conspiracy." But even Emond can't make Reichs's endless side trips into North Carolina history, geographical key notes and descriptions of the roots of voodoo and the Wicca religion sound anything but academic. Spare us the lectures; there's more than enough plot without the unnecessary digressions. A Scribner hardcover (Reviews, June 9). (Sept.) Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

When the head of a teenaged girl is discovered in a cellar along with some headless chickens, the locals suspect devil worshippers--and Temperance Brennan launches her 11th case. With a five-city tour. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
