This book was fairly disappointing. I find that even though I love to read book series, eventually they all start to fall apart. In this latest novel about Temperance Brennan, I found that the developments in her romantic relationships were thrown in for shock factor more than anything else. It was like the author was thinking "How can I make Tempe's personal life more convoluted?". Also, I find that as the books go on, Tempe gets more and more stubborn and irrational. Without giving away the plot/spoilers: she becomes convinced of the guilt of one character late in the book and will not let anything deter her. Even when she admits to herself that things don't add up. I miss the first few books in the series, but I suppose I'll keep reading : )
