Didn't meet my expectation -- I was expecting heavy investigation related to Body Farm. But the first part was boring, in addition there was drama (the father-son relationship -- what the hell was that? -- the whole younger female students infatuation) that I thought was off-putting. Not interested ...

I love this series, co-written by the forensic anthropology professor at the University of Tennessee who started The Body Farm. He must be an excellent teacher, as his books manage to take a topic that can be very dry and boring and weaves it into a compelling, thrilling and enjoyable read.

As with the Alex Delaware series, I enjoyed this book more for the supporting cast (Waylon and Big Jim) than I did for the main character, Bill (whose name I forgot and had to look up right now).

I enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and the setting-I'm a fan of the t.v. show "Bones" and I like other forensic anthropologist type fiction.

I wanted to like this so bad. It was a Free Friday book on my Nook ages ago and it looked interesting. But the extremely wordy descriptions of EVERYTHING killed it for me. I understand that it's because the book is about a forensic anthropologist and the book is written by the people who essentially...

Carved in Bone was a slightly enjoyable read. It got started slow, then picked up and got interesting, then died off a little again. Finally the end just all happened at once - all but maybe one or two issues/sub-plots unraveled within the same chapter or two.Several times I felt like the level of f...

This is the first in a now established series by the writing team of Bill Bass, a real forensic professor at the University of Tennessee, and Jon Jefferson, a writer and reported. You can definitely tell this is a first effort. I found some of the humor and dialog to be a little immature and clunky ...
