Devil Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels)
Kathy Reichs
Scribner, 2008
Enjoyable, but a caveat: it becomes VERY confusing!
I'm a long-time Reichs fan, and have enjoyed her books with the glaring exception of "Cross Bones" (which I reviewed when it came out).
I won't bother rehashing the story line, as you can see that in the publishing reviews, other than to say Tempe Brennan finds herself again involved in murder ...

The Lemur: A Novel
Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Smooth oddity
I was half-way through this book in no time, came up for a breather, and thought that it was an awfully quick read. The cynical side of me wanted to ask if this were meant as made-for-movie book, sort of like McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. Maybe Banville needed to fulfill a contract or was ...
