Books, Books, Books

I love mysteries--written, TV series, and movies (of which there are very few.)

I recently joined a large print book club -- Doubleday -- and chose a couple of mysteries in my introductory offer.

One was Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs.

My husband noted that the TV series Bones is based on the character from Kathy Reich's mystery series...the forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.

After I read it, I headed to the library to find more of Kathy Reichs.

All I can say is having a Kathy Reichs book in the house is like having a bag of M & M's. Once you open it, you can't stop.

I've read three now with two more waiting in the wings.

To say Kathy Reichs is a good writer would be a watered down comment. The books are habit forming if not addictive.

Be prepared to be educated, entertained, delighted and your funny bone tickled with the author's witty metaphors that take the place of dull descriptive text.

They're not all action...but they're good, good, good.
