Death Du Jour – Kathy Reichs

March in Montreal: it is a bitterly cold night and in the grounds of an old church forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan digs carefully. She is there to exhume the remains of a nun proposed for sainthood. But the body has been removed to an unmarked grave in a far corner of the cemetery. What will Tempe discover when the frozen ground finally yields to her tools?

Just hours later, Tempe is called to the scene of an horrific arson. A young family has perished, and there seems to be no witness, no motive, no explanation.

From the charred remains of the inferno, to a trail of sinister cult activity and a terrifying showdown during an icestorm, Tempe gathers her evidence and confronts the  terror of a killer out of control.

‘Another day. Another death. Death du Jour. My God, how many such days would there be?’

“Completely engrossing… Read this and you’ll know why the word ‘chiller’ was invented.” – Frances Fyfield, Express
