As a forensic anthropologist herself, Kathy Reichs never disappoints. Her tales are scientifically sophisticated, suspenseful, and she proves a very talented writer as well. Her appreciation for different cultures always shines and she manages to include humor amidst some pretty grisly findings. As an individual read, I would recommend any of her novels highly; for a book club, one might provide a break from some of the heavier works we tend to read and still offer plenty of material for discussion.
