Another enjoyable Tempe Brennan read. The mystery was puzzling, with threads that spiraled in every direction. However the premise was familiar, so it wasn't boring.

Quotes:
My grandmother used to say that God's tonic for sorrow was physical labor. She also felt toads caused infertility, but that was another issue. (page 18)

I knew little of the people, their preferences in cars, jobs, neighborhoods, toothpaste. Their views toward law and authority. I was a stranger to their likes, their dislikes, their trusts, their lusts. Their reasons for murder. (page 49)
