Andrew Ryan was back and early reviews alluded to a previous dalliance with a Mountie, Reichs was nailing it once again, or so I thought. <br />Andrew Ryan barely figured in the story and I couldn't really believe Tempe would have ever tolerated Ollie, let alone dally with him. He lacked substance- never mind allure, even bad boy Cotton Dallimore (Flash and Bones)was a more likely candidate for Tempe. Top heavy with characters but lacking the forensic anthropology mystery solving of previous stories, Bones are Forever was a light read, lacking Reichs' previous commitment to her stories. I will of course look forward to the next installment and hope my investment with Reichs' characters pays a dividend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406691824953642377.post-10681227871628584732012-09-04T16:33:45.220-04:002012-09-04T16:33:45.220-04:00It's really best to start at the beginning wit...It's really best to start at the beginning with Deja Dead if possible.

It's just my opinion, but it may help others decide whether or not they want to read the book.
