This story was not the most suspenseful, and I have issues with the protagonist, Tempe Brennan. (NOT because she's an entirely different character than the Bones version. She was just a bit too weepy for me & for what I expect from a forensic anthroplogist.) But it wasn't a bad story. What made it less enjoyable was the narrator. I listened to the audiobook, and the reader was so ...dead. She lacked emotion, inflection, or anything else that makes a story interesting to listen to instead of read. (She did great with one character who was supposed to have no inflection or emotion in his voice.) Her wooden performance really affected my perception of this story.
