A review by its5amsomewhere
Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs

3.0

I think the concept was fun. Mistaken identity is always a funky set up in crime shows, the episodes of the show that have similar basis r good. I thought the science behind the confusion was interesting I feel like the show def dumbs the situation down when they do it. Thought it was funny they actually reference the show in this book. Particularly amuses me because of the inception it causes between Kathy writing a book abt Tempe and Tempe writing a book about Kathy. (Funnier yet because I think...? Both write the love interest to be Andy). In this book some new/different background scientists are introduced and I feel like their plot lines don’t get totally concluded, the depth they had just seemed weird since it didn’t seem to actually go anywhere ?

This book is probs a 3.5 but the weird Montreal/north Carolina/Hawaii connection leads me to give it the 3 and not 4. Not only does this crime transcend lots of space, but also time. I will say the history aspect was kinda interesting but the whole space thing is still so much of a coincidence?? But I guess that’s just... how books are.

And of course! Ryan shows up too! With lily in tow? Lily gets put in harms way, a right of passage in this series. Can’t believe ryan and Brennan are still not back together yet... this HS love interest just does not interest me.
