Deadly Decisions (Temperance Brennan, #3)

by Kathy Reichs

Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for the state of Quebec, is abruptly recalled from a course she is teaching at Quanitco for a gruesome duty. A biker war is raging in Quebec and two of its foot soldiers have blown themselves up. The only person qualified to make sense of what remains is Tempe. Like many in the region, she cares little what les motards - the bikers - do to each other. Until the body of a nine-year-old girl is wheeled into the morgue, slain by biker crossfire. Fired with anger and a sense of injustice, Tempe vows to lend her skills to fight the outlaw motorcycle clubs. When an exhumation brings to light another tragic death, her resolve is heightened. But the bikers are dangerous people to cross. Unable to turn to her sparring partner Andrew Ryan for help, Tempe finds herself vulnerable as events escalate

[Mystereity Reviews]

I can honestly say, if this was the first book in the series, I wouldn't have picked up the second one. Predictable, transparent and unsatisfying. Tempe is long on book smarts but short on street smarts - and common sense. (show spoiler)[Could you please delight everyone at a dinner party about the gory details of the murder you're working? Working a criminal case? Please, answer all of the questions the nosy reporter asks you about it. Working with a task force that requires secrecy? Please, tell you nephew the aspiring biker all about it. 3/4 of this book had me asking What. The. F**k. Is. Wrong. With. You?

And just why the hell do they keep calling in an anthropologist to fresh crime scenes?] (hide spoiler)
