"Kathy Reichs blasts into Patricia Cornwell territory -- and onto the New York Times bestseller list -- with this critically acclaimed debut novel inspired by Reichs' own career. Dr. Temperance Brennan, the wry, impassioned director of forensic anthropology for the province of Quebec, is driven to unravel shocking acts of violence by reading the bones of the dead. In the year since Tempe left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Quebec. But when an unidentified female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in garbage bags, Tempe detects an alarming pattern within the grisly handiwork -- and her professional detachment gives way to a harrowing search for a killer in the city's winding streets. With little help from the police, Tempe calls on her expertise, honed in the isolated intensity of the autopsy suite, to investigate on her own. But her determined chase is about to place those closest to her -- her best friend and her daughter -- in mortal danger...."

❤️ Reading Is My Hobby
There are many benefits to reading, from learning new words to maintaining your mental health. There is nothing I love more than packing a lunch and spending a day outside at a park with a new book. My personal reading genre focuses on true crime and historical fiction, although I often throw a wildcard read in to change up the theme.
My history with books began as soon as I knew how to read. My father would pay me 20 USD for every book I read. Needless to say, I took to the hobby very quickly, and after the first few books I read, a new deal was struck that did not involve monetary compensation. The first book I read focused on the history of Nostradamus which some may find odd due to my age at the time. However, ever since I was young I have been fascinated with history and those who played a crucial role early on. Since then, I have explored various reading genres despite naturally gravitating more towards crime novels. As an adult, I find reading helps me turn my mind off and escape to a place that is built in my mind.
Ironically enough, my father wrote a book before he passed away which I am working on digitizing. The memoir chronicles his struggle with alcoholism, his journey to sobriety, and the importance of teaching your children about the disease.
