This one takes place mostly in Hawaii. Better than the last one, though the coincidence of the two cases coming together was a bit far-fetched, and the chimera explanation -- that's an old forensics solution (CSI and others have all done it already). Also the behaviour of Brennan's and Ryan's daughters was more 16 than early 20s. I loved the shameless plug for her tv show! That made me laugh. Fewer rehotical questions summarizing the case(s) everychapter, but still lots of patronizing scientific explanations. Whatever; it's easy listening for the car.
