Kathy Reichs is a master of the flawed heroine. Temperance Brennan, heroine of eighteen books written by Reichs, is a brilliant forensic anthropologist with more than her share of baggage. The character is so strongly portrayed, that it translated into a beloved television series. I imagine Reichs is getting a bit bored with Temperance, and her latest book, Two Nights, introduces us to a new protagonist, Sunday (Sunnie) Night.
After an injury ends her police career, Sunday moves to an island off of Charleston with thoughts of hibernation. Her former foster father, worried about her frame of mind, asks for her help. He is a cop and is searching for a missing girl whose grandmother believes she was kidnapped by a cult. Sunday, who barely escaped from a cult years before, decides to help in the search.
With the help of her brother, Gus, she begins a search that takes her deep into her own past as she attempts to find a girl who might be dead. The author, true to her style, keeps the action going with bombs and deaths and a very wealthy grandmother who will pay any amount to get her granddaughter back.
If you are a Temperence Brennan fan, you will be happy to meet this strong new character, and if you've never read Ms. Reichs before, this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a great new series.
