Assaulted by the bitter cold of a Montreal winter, the American-born Dr. Temperance Brennan, Forensic Anthropologist for the Province of Quebec, digs for a corpse where Sister Elisabeth Nicolet, dead for over a century and now a candidate for sainthood, should be lying in her grave. A strange, small coffin, buried in the recesses of a decaying church, holds the first clue to the cloistered nun's fate.
The puzzle surrounding Sister Elisabeth Nicolet's life and death provides a welcome contrast to discoveries at a burning chalet, where scorched and twisted bodies await Tempe's professional expertise. Who were these people? What brought them to this gruesome fate? And where are the children?
Homicide Detective Andrew Ryan, with whom Tempe has a combustive history, joins her in the arson investigation. From the fire scene they are drawn into the worlds of an enigmatic and controversial sociologist, a mysterious commune, and a primate colony on a Carolina island.
Featuring the kind of forensic detail that only Kathy Reichs can provide - from skeletal reconstruction to insect analysis - Death du Jour takes the listener on a riveting journey from the morgue to the lab to the crime scene, from the warmth of a barrier island to the frigid cold of a deadly ice storm. With this poignant and powerful work, Kathy Reichs confirms her status as a brilliant new crime-writing star.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, I did enjoy listening to this book, but there were too many murders actually. A couple would have sufficed since two of the story lines had real possibilities. I would have liked them to have been further explored.If you’ve listened to books by Kathy Reichs before, how does this one compare?
I like listening to Kathy Reichs's stories. For her, I think this is closer to a B- than an A+, but I still liked it.What does Bonnie Hurren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She's a good reader. I appreciate her work.Could you see Death du Jour being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Yes, I could see it being a movie.Any additional comments?
I recommend it for Kathy Reichs fans. I think they will enjoy it.Good, but too many "du jours"

If you could sum up Death du Jour in three words, what would they be?
Unfortunately poor narrationDid the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The story moved along well, not knowing the outcome until the end.How did the narrator detract from the book?
She had an overall odd accent and mispronounced words in many places. Her attempt at mimicking a southern accent was atrocious.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
What is the method of murder today?Annoying narrator, exciting story
