Kathy Reichs is something special. Since achieving a secure position in the upper echelons of crime writers, she has refused to rest on her laurels and (with only the occasional misstep) has consolidated her success with a series of novels that subtly finesse the formula that has gleaned her so many readers.Bones to Ashes is the latest title to add lustre to her reputation. Dr Temperance Brennan is examining the skeleton of a young girl, and finds herself losing the necessary distance she tries to maintain from all the cases she works on. Are the bones deformed or diseased? Or has some post-mortem damage been wrought upon them? Coroner Yves Bradette seems prepared file this information in the Dead Letters Department -- an ancient case, with no current relevance. But (as so often before) Tempe has other ideas, and something is stirring in her synapses -- a mystery involving the disappearance of a childhood friend. Matters are complicated when Detective Andrew Ryan (assigned to an allied case) asks Tempe to help with three missing persons a trio of unidentified female corpses. Is there a serial killer at work? There is often a defining moment when the work of a much-loved author imperceptibly becomes over-familiar, and readers have less enthusiasm for their work. Thankfully, on the evidence of Bones to Ashes, that day is quite some time in the future for Kathy Reichs, as all the elements that have made her books so involving are still being polished and refined here. Followers of Temperance Brennan need not hesitate to add this to their collection. --Barry Forshaw

Linda Fairstein established her reputation as one of the most famous prosecutors in the sex crime field in the USA before changing careers and becoming a writer of crime fiction -- a career shift she has managed to bring off with some aplomb. As a prosecutor, she famously made use of the new developments in the use of DNA evidence to nail sex offenders, and was also instrumental in fighting the routine exposure of the sexual histories of rape victims in court.It has to be said that she has done nothing as radical in her new career, but she has undoubtedly carved out a name for herself as one of the most surefooted purveyors of the crime novel, with such luminaries as Harlan Coben and Kathy Reichs lining up to praise her. Lethal Legacy, despite its unimaginatively alliterative title, is one of her most accomplished books.New York's Upper East Side; the police are summoned to the scene of an assault, and detective Mike Chapman is present, along with Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper. A woman named Tina Barr is, it seems, the victim of an attack, but withholds cooperation from the police. A day passes, and Chapman and Cooper find themselves returning to the same building to deal with a savage murder -- a woman has been brutally battered to death, with a book beside her; the jacket of the book is embossed with diamonds. But the woman is not the individual the detectives (and the reader) might expect her to be, Tina Barr. Tina has vanished. The detectives discover that the book is part of an expensive collection at the New York Public Library, and as the duo dig deeper into the mystery behind the murder, they come up against the wall of influence and untouchability that is the province of the hyper-rich.While some of this material may seem familiar, there is no gainsaying Linda Fairsteins hard-won expertise in the field of the unputdownable crime novel. She matches expert police procedural mechanics with some nicely drawn characterisation, notably of her beleaguered hero and heroine. It looks like Harlan Coben and Kathy Reichs will have to be rolling out those endorsements once again. --Barry Forshaw
