I enjoyed this book. Reichs is an easy, fast read. I did feel like there were a few soapboxes in this novel. I can tolerate a soapbox, maybe two per novel. Reichs is exceeding that with every novel.

I was unable to solve the mystery this time, which is good. I suspected, but did not know until recently when I disrupted enjoyment for other people, that I have a higher than average solving of twists and turns in stories. That's probably one reason I don't enjoy them that much. I don't like to see the end coming from so far away. Sometimes Reichs gets me and sometimes she doesn't. At least there is mystery in that.

Brennan's attractiveness is climbing, now with 2 stud-muffin detectives courting her. At least there is some realism to the courtships, although I doubt a real detective would be able to fly to South America at the drop of a hat. And the smallness of Brennan's world and people in it bugs me a bit.

So, after all this griping about Reichs novel, I finish with: enjoyable read!
