    A Excellent Book For Murder Mystery Fans!!!!

    Kathy Reichs is an amazing author! First she stunned us all with Deja Dead, then made us all do double takes with Death Du Jour, and now has amazed us all with Deadly Decisions. You learn an extreme amount about Biker Gang Warfare and again one of Tempe's relatives is involved. So if I were you I'd read this series because it is EXCELLENT!!! Happy Reading!

    Highly Recommended

    Enjoyed the book. Reichs does a great job of developing the story and getting the reader excited about what comes next. Book starts a little slow, but picks up speed.

    If you like Fox's 'Bones', you'll love the original Temperance Brennan!

    I recommend starting with Deja Dead (#1) and reading right on through all 14! You won't regret it!

    Favorite so far

    Though I enjoyed the first two books in this series, the third book has been my favorite. In the first book some of the scenes tended to carry on, in this one I felt that she explained the necessary things but did not go into such great detail as to completely loose the reader. The characters keep developing and I can hardly wait to read the next in this series.

    Love the TV Series Love the Books

    A friend got me hooked on watching the show Bones on TV. After I had been watching the show for awhile, I discovered that Kathy Reichs had written several books based on the same premise as the show. I bought the first one and really enjoyed the suspense. To date, I have read the first two and about 1/2 through this one and haven't been disappointed yet. I am an avid reader and have already had a couple friends borrow the first two books in the series. If you enjoy the show, the books are as good.

    Deadly Decisions

    The book I choose was DEADLY DECISIONS by Kathy Reichs. She is a bestseller author and a anthropologist who has made a series out these books. The main character of the story is named Temperance Brennan. She is anthropologist and works in Montreal, Canada. She is American though so she speaks both French and English. She works on murders and recoveries. She has a relationship with a detective named Andrew Ryan. He works for CUM, the Montreal police. But when Ryan gets in trouble, Dr. Brennan has no one to turn to. Dr. Brennan must now find out what is the cause of all new crime. Biker gangs have come in Montreal and have been killing one another. First it was a little girl, then three bodies found at a biker hangout. The third body is a mystery. Where could have possibly come from? To make matters worse, Brennan¿s nephew, Kit comes and takes an interest in a certain reporter who doesn¿t seem to be all he seems. Now Brennan has to find out it is not all what it seems as she finds the truth about Ryan, this reporter, and this mysterious body. To find out, read DEADLY DECISIONS.

    Normally a fan.

    I was disappointed in this latest book. I got bogged down in all the technical detail, it seemed more like a text book, than an mystery novel. I finally set it aside and picked up another book, something I rarely do.

    Not My Favorite Reichs Book

    There are too many obvious coincidences in Deadly Décisions. The coincidence makes the ending more predictable, some of the suspenseful chapter endings seemed forced, and Tempe gets herself into situations most smart women would avoid. In spite of these flaws, it's a page turner. The plot is fast-paced, Tempe Brennan is an intelligent, appealing heroine (more likable than Scarpetta), and Montreal is an interesting setting: familiar, yet foreign. If you enjoyed her two previous books, Déja Death and Death du Jour, you'll enjoy Deadly Décisions.

    Fantastic Read!

    This book is fantastic. The plot is creative and driven, and keeps you guessing throughout. Tempe is quick and a very interesting character. It's hard to put down! It's a fast plot interwoven with events that make it a masterpiece. The pieces fit together just right to bring you a great story, and Reich's expertise is an added bonus to this great novel. I highly recommend this to all who love a great mystery and appreciate Kathy Reich's talent!

    FORENSIC THRILLS OF THE FIRST ORDER

    Forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan, has always been able to keep personal feelings out of her work, this case is different. The death of a nine year-old girl, caught in the crossfire of rival biker gangs, sends her on a mission...bring the killers to justice. As the case takes shape she will find the skeleton of a young runaway, and be thrust into the dark world of biker gangs, a world where every truth is masked by a lie. Using her forensic skill, and some of the latest technology, Tempe, must solve this puzzle before the next death is her own. 'Deadly Decisions' is a first rate forensic's thriller. The pace is fast, the plot is interesting and the writing, top-notch. In Tempe Brennan, Kathy Reichs has created a character who stomps on 'Scarpetta' territory, and more than gets away with it. Fans of fast-paced, well written thrillers should dive into this one. A MUST read! Nick Gonnella

    thrilling, suspenseful , and grippingly real!!!

    this is a great read...even better than her first two novels. Reichs pulls you into a world of dark intrigue while dealing with real issues of family and self. with Tempe around now, i'd say kay scarpetta is down for the count!

    Excellent forensic thriller

    Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan handles the case that coroners cannot handle. She provides consulting services to the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et de Medecine Legale and to the North Carolina Chief Medical Examiner. She also teaches body recovery workshops at the FBI academy.

    Currently, Temperance is looking at the remains of two identical twins killed in an explosion. Due to the genetic match of the siblings DNA testing cannot help her. Temperance joins a multiagency task force investigating this case. Law enforcement official arrest a biker, who in exchange for a lighter sentence leads the group to other buried members including a teenage girl. As Temperance gets closer to he truth her about the latest biker wars, her own life is placed in jeopardy from the killers who prefers to remain in the cold murdering targeted bikers.

    On any reader test scale, Kelly Reichs¿ latest work, DEADLY DECISIONS, matches up well with the best of Cornwell. The tale centers on biker gangs that engage in criminal activities rather than the hobbyist enjoying their motorcycle. The frightening story line focuses on a fascinating depraved world that is a thrill a page as the terrific Temperance tries to solve an impossible case without becoming a coroner¿s next evaluation.
