Synopsis
Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs
Another day. Another death. Death du Jour. My God, how many such days would there be?' On a bitterly cold march night in Montreal, forensic anthropologiest Dr Temperance Brennan is exhuming the remains of a nun proposed for sainthood in the grounds of an old church. Just hours later, Tempe is called to the scene of an horrific arson. A young family has perished, and there seems to be no witness, no motive, no explanation. From the charred remains of the inferno, to a trail of sinister cult activity and a terrifying showdown during an ice storm, Tempe faces a nerve-shattering test of both her forensic expertise and her instinct for survival.

Reviews
Anyone who read Reichs's successful novel Deja Dead will welcome the return of Dr Temperance Brennan. This time she is investigating a tragic case of arson in Montreal which eventually leads to the discovery of sinister, so-called 'cult
activity in the Carolinas. Drawing on her own experience as a forensic pathologist, Reichs writes confidently, providing a fresh slant on the business of detection, and an intriguing dual setting among the freezing storms of Quebec and the beach climate of Charlotte. This author is easily on a par with other great crime writers. Sensitive souls should note that there are some graphic descriptions of autopsy procedures. (Kirkus UK)
About the Author
|
Kathy Reichs serves as forensic anthropologist for the Offices of the Chief Medical Examiner, State of North Carolina, and for the Laboratorie de Sciences Judiciaires et de Medecine Legale for the province of Quebec. A professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she divides her time between Charlotte and Montreal.
Fellow novelist KERRY REICHS on KATHY REICHS
When speaking of writers that have most influenced me, it’s safe to
begin at the beginning. My mother Kathy Reichs has written eleven
London Times best selling books and fostered the television drama Bones.
I am incredibly proud of her talents, and her pride in mine has
sweetened my success. My defection from Lawyer Camp (my father and
brother are lawyers) to Writer Camp was heralded with joyous open arms
by my mother, and the best part is enjoying it together. We don’t
agree on everything, and we write about vastly different subject
materials. But some day I may just cave in to her pestering that I
“put a dead body” in one of my books so we can write something
together! If you haven’t already, try her latest book, Devil Bones.
Maxim Jakubowski's view on TEMPERANCE BRENNAN...
Created by Kathy Reichs, Tempe Brennan is a
forensic anthropologist who shares her time between North Carolina and
Montreal, and has now appeared in almost ten novels where her medical
examinations of bones and other sinister discoveries always send her on
a trail of murder, peril and grief. Her latest outing is in 206 BONES.
