"Decided to read them because of the TV show. They, as most book-to-tv scenerios are nothing alike. Nothing at all. However that doesn't stop the books from being very good! Lots of sub-plots and many threads that get tied neatly in the end. A bit more procedural than I really care for I just skimmed some of that. All in all a good read and I'll try to read them all."

"The subject matter, kidnapped and tortured teenaged girls, was disturbing so it is hard for me to get past that to critique the book on anything else. I did finish the book but did not consider myself better for it."

"Once again Ms. Reichs delivers a well thought out novel. I will never understand how Dr. Brennan gets herself into so many precarious situations! The scariest part of reading these novels is that I am finding more of myself in Dr. Brennan. Which could lead to problems should I follow in her path. ;) As Brennan works hard to identify 3 bodies found int he basement of a pizza parlour in Quebec, she is thrown into a whole new sick and twisted world that oddly enough leads to repaired relationships. You won't be able to put this book down. Each chapter leaves you on the edge of your seat."

"Monday mourning is the seventh novel featuring Temperance Brennan, a Forensic Anthropologist who works for the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciares et de Medecine Legale for the province of Quebec, Canada. If you haven't read any of the previous novels featuring the character, please do not dismiss this book solely for that reason.
Temperance Brennan is a forty something Forensic Anthropologist who divides her time between Charlotte in North Carolina and Montreal in Canada. She works for the state in identifying skeletons, which are causing difficulties for the 'regular' forensic pathologists. Her speciality lies in identifying bones and determining their age, sex and race.
Tempe lives alone in a small apartment with her beloved cat, Birdie and has an on/off relationship with Andrew Ryan, a detective from Montreal. If you are a fan of the Kay Scarpetta novels written by Patricia Cornwall, you may begin to see some similarities between the two characters.
Kathy Reich's heroine is a likeable character who is a brilliant role model for professional women. She experiences the stresses and strains of relationships like 'real' women and shows flaws in her character.
The story begins with Tempe sorting through some bones in the basement of a pizza parlour. The bones belong to three separate women, and it is Tempe's job to ascertain age, sex, height and time of death. This is a mammoth task which involves indifference and hostility from the lead detective on the case, Luc Claudel, who seems to have some sort of personal vendetta against Tempe.
As Tempe discovers some of the identifying features of the women, her personal life and budding relationship with Ryan takes a nosedive. She discovers another woman in his life which threatens to destroy their relationship. She has to find answers to many questions in both her professional and personal life.
The book is written in the first person, which guides the reader along with the character on a fast paced ride. However, this sometimes makes the storyline seem unreal and contrived, as we follow Tempe to various crimes scenes and police stakeouts which I'm sure would not happen in the real world.
Reich's herself is also a forensic anthropologist for North Carolina and Quebec, and to say that she knows her stuff is an understatement. She launches into very detailed and indecipherable jargon which hurts your head. She talks of 'gracile' muscle attachments, rounded 'occiputs' and 'sphenoid' bones which are totally lost on me and don't even feature on my spell check! I read the words and they float aimlessly over my head. However, this does not ruin the overall story, just confuses the reader for a short time.
At times Tempe's stupidity in some of her actions and choices frustrated me. Here we have a highly intelligent woman with BA's, MA's and PhD's left, right and centre, but she still manages to garner an illicit groan from the reader, as she trots off to another escapade which will undoubtedly leave her fighting for her life in one way or another. It is highly predictable in parts and hugely frustrating, as you know that when faced with that particular situation, most people would run a mile.
Tempe's relationship with Andrew Ryan is also baffling. Her intelligence is not prevalent in the opposite sex either and she comes across as an infatuated schoolgirl with her first crush. The thread of this storyline takes second fiddle to the pizza parlour bones, and it sometimes feels that Reich's added it just to annoy the reader, as Tempe's refusal to embark on a proper and meaningful conversation would solve a whole truckload of angst.
A subplot involving Tempe's best friend Anne is sometimes irrelevant and you become frustrated with this aspect, willing the action to continue in relation to the crime and the discovery of the women's identities. However, the end result does tie up loose ends, but also leaves you screaming in incredulity.
Reich's writes with an added humour which is portrayed through her characters. In particular Tempe's character shows a huge amount of humour and irony which at times brings a smile to your face, especially her relationship with Claudel which is highly amusing, as she slates him at every available opportunity.
Despite these criticisms the story is hugely enjoyable and leaves the reader wanting more. Each chapter is left on a cliff-hanger, which ensures the reader will continue on to find out what happened. At just 300 pages the book is easily digestible without having heartburn, and I raced through the book in a couple of days.
As previously stated, it is not a disadvantage if you haven't read any of her earlier novels. This book is easy to get into and Reich's cleverly introduces you to each character in turn, which is beneficial to new fans and hardly an irritation to dedicated fans.
I would definitely recommend this book to you if you enjoy crime and thriller novels. If you like the work of Patricia Cornwall and Jeffery Deaver, then this book will also appeal to you."
