The Bone Code is book #20 in the Temperance Brennan series from Kathy Reichs. "The Charleston coroner calls Dr. Brennan about two bodies washed up on shore in a waste container. After looking at them she realizes the case is eerily similar to one from Montreal 15 years ago. A case that was never solved and the victims never identified. As Tempe and Andy search for the identities of the victims, it becomes clear that someone doesn't want them nosing around." Reichs uses the current fascination with DNA testing to craft a story about the terrible lengths people will go to for a big payday. There is a lot of science here but it does not overwhelm the story. There are a lot of names to remember in all of the locations - Charleston, Montreal, Nashville. Sometimes I would read a name and wonder where they fit in the story. But Reichs does something I wish more authors would do - the characters revisit what's going on and you get an update. And the momentary confusion goes away. There's an interesting side story about death masks. And it's great to have a story set in the SC Low Country. Another excellent novel from Dr. Reichs.
