Deadly Decisions by Kathy Reichs
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Bikers, guns, and errant nephews abound! Temperance Brennan is thrust into the deep end of a drug war that crosses borders and kills children. She won't stop until she gets her answers. I felt the pacing was struggling a little in this offering from Ms. Reichs. This was only the third novel in the series. Understandable that there are still some stylistic bugs to work out.

Some of the characters are still very one and two dimensional. As the series moves forward i imagine more depth will be added. This book kept me invested start to finish. I even had to remind myself of the value of sleep once or twice.
