Two Nights

When I first heard that Kathy Reichs had written a non-Temperance Brennan book I was really excited to check it out. Don't get me wrong, I love the Bones series and I hope it's not over, but I'm always stoked when an author I like a lot branches out. (I'd love love love to see Lee Child write a non-Jack Reacher book, for example)

Two Nights did not disappoint. Reichs introduces another badass heroine in this book that I am hoping as hard as I can will be the first in a new series. Sunday Night is an ex-military, ex-cop introvert who has retreated from the world to a sparsely populated island off the coast of South Carolina. She gets pulled into a missing person case as a PI and winds up in the middle of a terrorist plot to blow up.... well, I don't want to give anything away so I'll stop there. 

Seriously, check this book out. It's so good. I could barely put it down. Reichs is an underrated writer who consistently delivers solid characters, plots and drama. I recommend this, and all of her other books for grown-ups (I haven't checked out her YA series yet) to all crime/thriller fans.
