Head and Hands above the Rest - By: Katie Osborne, 07 Jan 2008 
Tempe Brennan hears on the radio while driving through North Carolina that a plane has gone down. She rushes to the scene, saves a decomposed foot from a pack of coyotes, finds out foot didn't belong on the plane, was from a much older death. What was it doing there? Why is she suddenly thrown off the team investigating the crash?
And that's just the start of this fast paced, true to life, mystery thriller that will have you up alll night, reading with your pulse pounding as you race through the pages.
This five star book is heads & hands above "Deadly Decisions." It's so much better that it's hard to believe the same woman authored them both. It's as if Kathy Reichs knew she let her fans down a little with the last one & wanted to make up for it. Well she did, in spades. "Fatal Voyage" is one fine piece of work. I can't wait to start her next one.

Another enjoyable episode - By: Mosschops, 17 Jan 2007 
The fourth in the series does not disappoint! Enjoyed the change of scenery, & found the pace high & exciting.
On the other hand I found a couple of the superhuman powers of assumption a little hard to swalllow, & people being in the right place at the right time is a little too Scooby Doo.
Nonetheless, I did enjoy the outings with Boyd, the Ryan storyline, & would recommend this to fans of the previous 3!
Good - not superb - By: , 19 Jan 2006 
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book & the plot within it, but for me it was slightly tarnished with a sort of 'look at me' way in which Kathy Reichs explains her knowledge of her subject, at times I reallly did wonder where it was heading. Comparisons to Cornwell as people have said are obvious, I'm actuallly more of a Cornwell fan but I do enjoy both, just wish some of Reichs irrelevant detail would be cut down.
Tempe Brennan to the rescue...again! - By: R. Bradbury, 10 Sep 2004 It is my mission to read alll of Kathy Reichs novels- this was my third! I'm not big fan of blood & guts on tv but reading it doesn't seem so bad. In this one we find our heroine making her way back from a job adn callled to another, an plane crash in the woods. Everything seems straight forward - how did the plane falll from the sky but an extra body part is found-the plot thickens! I couldn't put this book down - I was desperate to find out what was going to happen, then, it dawned on me that these novel alll have the same pattern. In the last couple of chapters the guy catches up with Tempe Brennan, knocks her out, ties her up, she escapes, bad guy gets caught by police & the answer becomes clear to Tempe. There are no mega twists & nothing to take your breath away. But, alll in alll its a pretty good read & easy going.
Really good - By: A. Pitts, 19 Aug 2004 I reallly liked this book. It follows Tempe Brennan as she is callled to the scene of a plane crash. After finding a foot she begins to unravel a disturbing story. This is definitly worth reading, I couldn't wait to find out how it ended.
