Assaulted by the bitter
cold of a Montreal winter, the American-born Dr. Temperance Breman,
Forensic Anthropologist for the Province of Quebec, digs for a corpse
where Sister Elisabeth Nicolet, dead over a century and now a candidate
for sainthood, should lie in her grave. A strange, small coffin, buried
in the recesses of a decaying church, holds the first clue to the
cloistered nun's fate. The puzzle surrounding Sister Elisabeth's life
and death provides a welcome contrast to discoveries at a burning
chalet, where scorched and twisted bodies await Tempe's professional
expertise. Who were these people? What brought them to this gruesome
fate? Homicide Detective Andrew Ryan, with whom Tempe has a combustive
history, joins her in the arson investigation. From the fire scene they
are drawn into the worlds of an enigmatic and controversial professor, a
mysterious commune, and a primate colony on a Carolina island. From Goodreads. I keep having to tell myself that the TV-series Bones is only loosely based on this book series. The Dr. Temperance Brennan is a very different woman than on TV. She is an ex-alcoholic, mother and quite emotional. I still enjoyed the book and I am definitely going to continue reading this series.
