Fatal Voyage

De: Kathy Reichs

Narrado por: Kate Harper

Temperance Brennan hears the news on her car radio. An Air TransSouth flight has gone down in the mountains of western North Carolina, taking with it 88 passengers and crew.

An a forensic anthropologist and a member of the regional DMORT team, Tempe rushes to the scene to assist in body recovery and identification. She finds a field of carnage: torsos in trees, limbs strewn among bursting suitcases, and smoldering debris. Many of the dead are members of a university soccer team. Is Tempe's daughter, Katy, among them?

Frantic with worry, Tempe joins colleagues from the FBI, the NTSB, and other agencies to search for explanations. Was the plane brought down by a bomb or simple mechanical failure? And what about the prisoner on the plane who was being extradited to Canada? Did someone want him silenced forever? And why are certain people eager to stop Tempe's investigation? Is she learning too much? Coming too close?

With help from Montreal detective Andrew Ryan - and from a very special dog named Boyd - Tempe uncovers a shocking, multilayered tale of deceit and depravity.

Written with the riveting authenticity that only world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs can provide, Fatal Voyage pairs witty, elegant prose with pulse-pounding storytelling in a tour de force worthy of crime writing's new superstar.

A SPELL-BIND SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

What did you like best about this story?

I like the constant action and tension - it never stops.

Which character – as performed by Kate Harper – was your favorite?

Temprance Brennan - she's a remarkable scientist but has her own problems. She's flawed and real.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I don't believe I had an extreme reaction to it. The book was well-written and entertaining.

The best so far

Maybe I am getting used to the highly technical nature of these books, and the first-person style in but this book has a great mystery and more twists in both plot and relationships.

Kate Harper is also a better performer for Kathy Reichs' style, and she kept the characters different and entertaining. I was disappointed to see that she is not narrating other books in this series.

The only detraction was that the characters took a little too long to catch up to the reader. It is always good to let the reader come to conclusions a moment before the main characters -- that helps the suspension of disbelief, but at times this story takes it a tiny bit too far.

Over all very entertaining. If you are a fan of the series, definitely don't skip this one.

I love these stories. Being from NC I know the places mentioned. I hope to listen to all of them.

Am enjoying this series!

For such an intelligent woman, the main character in this story does some ridiculously stupid things (in every book so far) when she knows she's being threatened, still goes out for a walk at night, armed with only a scalpel, etc.! But I'm putting up with it as I'm enjoying the rest of the story(ies)!

Riveting

I enjoyed the actors ever so slight southern accent that gave believability to the character. The story was enjoyable and kept you guessing. Being that this is the fourth book, the character development is continuing to flush out their relationships grow. Enjoyable series.

Better version than the abridged version I had.

I could only get the abridged version when I purchased this audio version. Always felt cheated so went for the unabridged version. Very glad I did. I have never been a fan of abridged books. Prefer to pick what to skip on my own.

Loved this listen. What I a discovering is that I prefer the stories that take place up north over the ones that take place in the south.
