"The latest from Kathy Reichs finds Tempe Brennan investigating the connections between a long-dead business man, the smuggling of mummified dogs from Peru, and the death of a teenage girl killed in a hit and run. When she discovers a human trafficking enterprise at the center of it all, the scope of the case extends from South America to Afghanistan. And Tempe's soon-to-be ex might have connections that run to the very heart of the trafficking ring."--Publisher.
Somehow while reading this book, my synapses triggered recollection of some things, so I feel like a previous book must have had some minor parallels.
The connections of the cases felt like a bit of a stretch but it is fiction after all. In general it was a good book and I am gutted if this is gonna be Ryan’s full departure.
I think it might be time to say goodbye to this series for me. The books get worse with each passing one and it’s too bad because the first maybe 10 were great. Hard to describe how bad this one was. A jumbled mess and yet also formulaic.
