Devil Bones

The first and last time I read Kathy Reichs was a very long time ago, and I don't even remember which Tempe title it was. I normally won't pick a book in the middle of a series but it sounded the most interesting in the very limited selection of audiobooks at the National Library of Malaysia via Overdrive, which I was keen to test drive.

Fortunately it didn't matter that I was starting in the middle. Dr Brennan's professional and private life were meticulously outlined and described so that a newcomer is all caught up. I imagine that if I were to read this in print, I would have skimmed over chunks of text describing scientific methods that only vaguely made sense to me. That was the most slow-moving parts.

I usually don't do audiobooks because I prefer print, but I've been looking for something to fill my time when I'm not engaging my brain in a passive task like walking to dog or doing chores.

Having said that, I've come to appreciate Lorelei King's voice acting through the 8-10 hours we spent together. Her range of voices and accents was impressive.
