In the beginning I didn't like Dr. Tempe Brennan at all. She had a major attitude problem and it was very annoying. I grew to like her regardless of the attitude but found myself at times thinking she was TSTL (too stupid too live). Some of the stunts she pulled were just plain dangerous and truly ridiculous for an almost 50 year old woman. Her interaction with the cops investigating the serial killer, were just rude and unprofessional. It's no wonder the lead cop was threatening to formaly complain to the board about her behavior.

The serial killer mystery was interesting and intriguing so much as to keep you turning pages just to find out who and why. This book has absolutely nothing to do with the TV series. Everything about Tempe is different in the series, she's younger, nicer, single and childless. Maybe that's why I had such a hard time in the beginning, it was really hard to connect with her after watching the series.
