Reichs has a great skill in bring her cases together even the exhumation of a nun is connected to the mass murders that seem to be coming to her lab.

A definite page turner. Forensic anthropologist has 2 jobs - professor in NC also works for the coroner of Montreal. Finds bodies in both locations that seem to be connected in some way.
