About the Books
This six-book collection brings together some of Kathy Reichs's most gripping entries in the long-running Temperance Brennan series, following the forensic anthropologist through cases that hinge on what bones reveal long after death. In Monday Mourning, three skeletons discovered in a Montreal basement force Tempe to challenge a detective's assumption that the remains are merely historical, drawing her into a present-day web of danger. Cross Bones opens with a body found in a closet a week after death, ruled a suicide until the victim's family insists otherwise, sending Tempe searching for answers the official report missed. Break No Bones finds Tempe working a prehistoric burial site near Charleston, South Carolina, when a far more recent body surfaces nearby. Bones to Ashes reopens a childhood mystery from Tempe's own past after a box of old bones arrives at her lab. Devil Bones sends her into a dark cellar where a human skull and ritual objects suggest a killer with disturbing motives. 206 Bones puts Tempe under scrutiny when she is accused of mishandling an autopsy, complicating her efforts to find a missing heiress. Across all six novels, Reichs combines meticulous forensic detail with tightly wound suspense, using Tempe's expertise as both investigative tool and narrative anchor. Readers move between the lab, the crime scene, and the courtroom, watching evidence accumulate one bone at a time. This collection captures Reichs at her most confident, balancing procedural accuracy with real emotional stakes.
