   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   derailer | Jan 25, 2024 |   ) StarKnits | Jul 24, 2023 |  ) thebacklistbook | Jun 24, 2023 | I'm a huge fan of this series and have read most all of the books yet had not heard about this novella. I just finished another book that had lots of details about the hazards and peril of summiting Everest, so this added to the fun factor with additional facts that always pique my interest. Climbing that mountain is extremely hazardous and the survival rate is such that many dead remain frozen in place, never to be recovered. Fascinating even if you aren't planning a trek or climb. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, is asked to confirm the identity and cause of death of a mummified and frozen corpse for a wealthy Charlotte family who believes it may be their daughter. The body was recently recovered from Mount Everest after an earthquake allowed retrieval. What was meant to be a quick favor turns quickly when Dr. Brennan finds evidence that the death of this young woman was no accident. A fast and fun mystery with lots of forensic detail. I borrowed it from the library and enjoyed it. This can be read as a standalone as the focus is really in the particulars of this case and not much character development.

HTML:Featuring a preview of the highly anticipated new thriller Speaking in Bones, this eBook original novella showcases #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs at the peak of her powers. In Bones on Ice, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan gets wrapped up in the ultimate cold case: a death on Mount Everest. It is called the “death zone”: the point on Everest, nearly five miles high, above which a climber cannot be rescued. More than 250 souls have lost their lives there. Most of the bodies remain, abandoned, frozen in place. When an earthquake leads to a miraculous recovery, Dr. Temperance Brennan is hired to identify the frozen mummified human corpse. The victim is the daughter of a wealthy Charlotte couple who never got the chance to say goodbye. But far from offering solace and closure, Tempe’s findings only provoke more questions. What happened on Mount Everest? Was the young woman’s death an accident? Why aren’t the other climbers talking? And how far will those hiding the truth go to make sure the past stays buried? Praise for Kathy Reichs and the Temperance Brennan series “A genius at building suspense.”—New York Daily News “Kathy Reichs writes smart—no, make that brilliant—mysteries that are as realistic as nonfiction and as fast-paced as the best thrillers about Jack Reacher, or Alex Cross.”—James Patterson “Reichs, a forensic anthropologist, makes her crime novels intriguingly realistic.”—Entertainment Weekly “One of the most distinctive and talented writers in the genre.”—Sandra Brown “Every minute in the morgue with Tempe is golden.”—The New York Times Book Review “Each book in Kathy Reichs’s fantastic Temperance Brennan series is better than the last.”—Lisa Scottoline “Reichs always delivers a pulse-pounding story.”—Publishers Weekly “I love Kathy Reichs?—always scary, always suspenseful, and I always learn something.”—Lee Child.
