review 1: I wanted to like this book. It's in a general genre that I like and read many different authors of, and I've watched some of the series, so I was prepared to enjoy it. ~sigh~ Lots of time spent on the atmosphere and locations in Montreal (but I'm neither conversant in French nor familiar with the city so much was lost on me), too many murders that were precariously woven together, and tension between characters that was ill-defined, all of which made me tired and annoyed.It sounds like some of her earlier books were better thought of, so I'll look for one of those to compare it to. This one was a dud for me.
review 2: It continues to amaze me how much I enjoy these pure detective stories from the perspective of a forensic anthropologist. I kind of expected the
... more incredible detail of the actual forensics to put me off, but they don't. offset by great detail of the geography of the locations she (the anthropologist) works in. Excellent writing and I can't wait to read the next one (already on hold at the library). less
