DEJA DEAD

Kathy Reichs's real-life experience in forensic science fleshes out her riveting mystery about Tempe, an American woman working in Montreal for the police's forensic department. Tempe fights a one-woman battle to expose a link around similar brutal rapes and murders that have occurred in the city over the last few years. As she herself becomes the target, Tempe must rely on her wits and will to save her life. Amy Irving is an excellent Tempe; we hear her fatigue after hours of autopsies, her intelligence as she pieces together the mystery, her angst over her best friend's sudden strange behavior. Deja Dead is believable and exciting--a real thrill ride with Reichs and Irving at the controls. R.A.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB 98]
