deja dead by Kathy Reichs .
I really liked reading bones to ashes and I wrote on this blog...
I will be happy to buy another of Kathy's books because of the quality and detail of her writing.
...Well, I was in ASDA and I saw a boxed set containing 3 of Kathy's books for just £5. Great idea I thought, I could have a season of reading Kathy's books.
deja dead was her first novel that was published in 1998 and reissued in 2008. Kathy's books are written in the first person featuring Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist. If you like the television programme Crime Scene Investigation, broadcast in the UK on channel 5, then you will enjoy her books. deja dead is a 509 page workplace crime thriller about the tracking of a suspected serial killer. I consider this a good book with a good plot. There is plenty of scientific detail that is fully explained for the reader. The story goes into the many specialist fields that help the Police solve a crime. This is not just about bones which is the speciality of Dr. Temperance Brennan. This is an enjoyable read with a good ending that has all the loose ends tied up. deja dead won the 1997 Ellis Peters Award for Best First Novel and after reading this book, I can see why it had won.

Thanks for the post on my blog and the imput. I am halfway through deja dead now.. and am loving it, even thought its in french at times. Having many ideas wizzing through my head.. but i swear brennan is either really clumsy or something else. No spoilers.. hoping for a good ending. I like this book, simply cause the killer is not made clear. I am only at the point, where the others believe her for the first time. Some of the parts are simply not needed to be known, like her sexual fantasies among other things.

Thank you for leaving a comment. Being a bloke it is quite nice to stumble across a bit of sexual writing part way through a book, brightens up the day!
