While I understand that there will always be differences between books and shows, I didn’t realise the differences would be so huge. The only thing the tv show has in common with the book is the main character’s name and her profession. That’s it.

I almost got a Kay Scapetta (spelling??) vibe when I read this. I read this for a reading prompt and because I liked the tv show Bones. This would have been a 3 star because the writing was fine and the characters were okay, but it just isn’t for me.

However, the use of the ‘c’ word is an automatic 1 star loss because it always throws me out of the story; without fail. Before anyone thinks I’m being precious, I’m Australian and the word is frequently used. I still hate it.
