A good story with a focus on one of Reichs' social justice issues.
Includes a trip to Afghanistan with hazardous duty for Tempe so she can evaluate whether the shooting deaths of 2 Afghan civilians was justified or not.......a Jr officer's career hangs in the balance.
Plus Tempe and Pete's daughter has enlisted and is one of the first female combatants approved by the US military. So we get a small peek at what the mother of a soldier in combat goes through when her child is deployed.
Tempe continues her battle with Slidell of the homicide squad at Charlotte PD....one of the characterizations I'm not happy with in the Bones series of novels. But they do solve the case so it is a sucessful partnership.
The love triangle continues with Pete and Ryan, but takes an interesting turn.....'nuff said.
