Title: bit disappointed
Product review: This is the first book I've read by this author and I was drawn to it from the forensics aspect. I was a bit disappointed though - I found the writing to be unpolished. I agree with other reviewers - I don't find Dr. Brennan's private life particularly interesting and the dialogue drags terribly. In fact each time we go back to it it seems to distract from the real interest. And Ryan is just flat out dull and one dimensional. I found this particular subject matter (can't specify without spoiling the plot) very difficult and the references to real cases from the news that we remember very unbalancing. The plus side is that this author is clearly very accomplished in her main profession and that is fascinating. Interestingly she writes very much better as 'herself' when she gives us factual background after the story has ended about how she came to this plot line.
