If you've read Kathy Reich's previous novels, than don't believe every review you read. Temperance is still the same, Ryan's still the same, and all the technical jargon is still the same. Some think Cross Bones is yet another attempt to copy The Da Vinci Code, and maybe that's true. But really, this is still just a book of fiction. Maybe not every detail is perfect, and maybe the story line isn't centered on finding a murderer, but it's still a satisfying read. There's still mystery and chemistry and enough intrigue to keep me entertained.
