About this listen
There is a patch of ground in Tennessee dedicated to the science of death, where human remains lie exposed to be studied for their secrets. The real-life scientist who founded the "Body Farm" has broken cold cases and revolutionized forensics...and now he spins an astonishing tale inspired by his own experiences.
Renowned anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton has spent his career surrounded by death at the Body Farm. Now he's being called upon to help solve a baffling puzzle in a remote mountain community. The mummified corpse of a young woman dead for 30 years has been discovered in a cave, the body bizarrely preserved and transformed by the environment's unique chemistry. But Brockton's investigation is threatening to open old wounds among an insular people who won't forget or forgive. And a long-buried secret prematurely exposed could inflame Brockton's own guilt - and the dangerous hostility of bitter enemies determined to see him fail...by any means necessary.

In 1978, 56-year-old Leoma Patterson left a bar in Clinton, Tennessee, and was never seen again. Six months later, a female skeleton was found on a wooded lakeshore in a neighboring county. The bones were consistent with those of the missing woman, and one of Patterson's daughters recognized a ring found at the death scene as her mother's. The bones were buried, and six years later, a relative of Patterson's - one of the men she was last seen alive with - confessed to killing her. Case closed.

It's been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary's blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn't forgotten. When she's called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary's old home.

It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

Secrets and lies can’t stay buried forever in Cedar Valley. In the summer, hikers and campers pack the small Colorado town’s meadows and fields. And in the winter, skiers and snowboarders take over the mountains. Season by season, year after year, time passes, and the lies, like the aspens and evergreens that surround the town, take root and spread deep.

The master of medical suspense brings us another novel of controversy, biology, and human greed. Internist Matt Rutledge has spent the last five years trying to find links between the deaths of his wife and his father. He suspects the Belinda Coke and Coal Company has released toxic chemicals into the environment that have caused the "Belinda Syndrome," a miasma of symptoms that include violent and deadly paranoia in some, Ebola-like hemorrhaging in others. But he lacks proof.

In 1978, 56-year-old Leoma Patterson left a bar in Clinton, Tennessee, and was never seen again. Six months later, a female skeleton was found on a wooded lakeshore in a neighboring county. The bones were consistent with those of the missing woman, and one of Patterson's daughters recognized a ring found at the death scene as her mother's. The bones were buried, and six years later, a relative of Patterson's - one of the men she was last seen alive with - confessed to killing her. Case closed.

Nowhere is there another lab like Dr. Bill Bass's: on a hillside in Tennessee, human bodies decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. At the "Body Farm," nature takes its course, with corpses buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, concealed beneath slabs of concrete, locked in trunks of cars. As stand-ins for murder victims, they serve the needs of science, and the cause of justice.

Sexist smut!
This book is so sexist! He has something disgusting to say about every female character except his wife. He must think all females in his life want to jump his bones. I couldn't get past the middle. I tried and tried but it turned my stomach. I am in the field of anthropology and am well aware of the sexism around me but it is shoved in your face here. He didn't even entertain the idea that the deceased could be wearing her own dog tags! Not to mention they could serve the purpose they were created for and identify her. Must be a father or boyfriend or husband. Ugh. Don't bother with this trash, sexism is as old as this author. Get with the times.

I doubt I will read this author again.
I am fascinated by Forensic Anthropology and am currently working on an anthropological degree. I really enjoyed the story and there was nothing about the forensic study that turned my stomach. However, what did turn my stomach, is the main character's, Dr. Bill Brocton's, attitude towards the women characters.
It is apparent from the beginning that he and a grad assistant, Miranda, have a close relationship, perhaps leaning towards more than friendship, but "professionalism" keeps things neutral.
It is mentioned ad nauseum, how much the doctor loves and misses his dead wife and his overwhelming guilt regarding her death.
In spite of this and his feelings towards Miranda, he has an office quickie with a young female student from one of his classes. This is gross enough, but Miranda sees and is "broken hearted". As another reviewer mentioned, he seems to think he is irresistible to women. Misogyny is an undertone throughout the novel.
Astonishingly, they all go on and work together, since the young female student is so bright and promising. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!!!!
I would have like to get to know the characters a bit more before all the emotional crap was thrown at me. Too much, too soon. Sadly, I will not be learning more because my interest in the stories is ruined.
