In this review, the fourth book in the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs, Fatal Voyage, is critiqued. While the setting and initial suspense of a plane crash are engaging, the focus shifts abruptly to a subplot involving a dismembered foot, resulting in a less satisfying mystery. The personal connections of the protagonist to each case and the lack of character progression are also addressed, resulting in a rating of 6.5/10.
The Oak Knoll series comes to a close with "Down the Darkest Road" by Tami Hoag. The mystery of a missing daughter unfolds, but the book introduces new characters, deviating from the previous ones. The storyline follows a mother's relentless pursuit for justice, with a gripping, albeit isolated, plot, leading to a compelling conclusion.
In "Deadly Decisions" by Kathy Reichs, Temperance Brennan is caught in a complex case involving a biker gang and the murder of young girls. The overwhelming number of characters and unrealistic personal connections to the cases detract from the story. While the book's premise has potential, the execution and character development fall short.
