Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs

I love the Brennan series so much more in book form than in TV form. Book Brennan is human and intelligent. TV Brennan just always seemed so robotic.

Book Brennan finds herself called into a plane crash site where she uses her expertise to sort body parts and help ID victims. Montreal Detective Andrew Ryan also appears in the US to help at the crash site, which seems odd, but his former partner was on board, escorting a criminal.

You'd think this would be the actual plot of the book.

You'd be wrong.

Brennan comes across a dismembered foot being chewed on by coyotes. Thinking it's part of the crash and thinking the coyotes might run off with it if she doesn't take it, she grabs the foot and takes it to the makeshift morgue. From there, everything just goes to hell. Because of a foot.

The crash ends up very secondary to every thing else that rains down on Brennan's head.

Excellent mystery! Even read out of order!
