Reich's latest novel, 206 Bones, starts off in a way different from her last two books, Devil Bones and Bones to Ashes. The book opens in an italic font ment to throw you off. It did for me! Dr. Brennan, as we discover has been traped in a cement tomb, berried alive and has no recolection of ever facing her assailant. She does however, with mush effort, remeber the last case whe was working on.
It dealt with murder of Rose Jurmain, a snack food heiress, excommunicated from her family due to their devout Catholicism and her lesbian lifestyle. The family's lawyer claims that the Jurmains received an anonymous telephone call from someone claiming that Dr. Brennan has faked the autopsy results to cover up the "fact" that Rose had been murdered. (Temperance's original findings were that Rose was heavily under the influence of drugs and alcohol and went out for a walk where she got hypothermia and died.)
