Ashley-Hollinger Mika Precious Bones, Delacorte, May 2012. $17.
Temperance Brennan, “Bones”, is only 10 years old, living in
the Florida swamp with her parents Nolay, a Miccosukee Indian, and her Mama. Land speculators want the family land
for development, but Nolay runs them off.
When one of the men shows up dead, it is up to Bones to prove that her
father is innocent.
I was so
confused and couldn’t enjoy this book at all. I didn’t know if I was reading the childhood of Kathy Reichs
adult novels or of the TV character, so I couldn’t settle in and enjoy the story. I tried to figure out who
Ashley-Hollinger is and why she would be writing this particular story. I was only mildly interested in the
characters and the plot. It would
have been much better had A-H created her characters from scratch.
