Excellent plotting, appealingly headstrong heroine and superb mastery of tension"  The Times"Accomplished and chilling." People"Kathy Reichs knows how to put all [of her] exotic experience into a novel....Quebec's own Southern gal give[s] Cornwell a run for the money." Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail"What makes Déjà Dead so compelling, in addition to the authoritative descriptions of how a forensic scientist 'reads' the story the bones tell, is the character of Brennan -- smart, persistent, gutsy, ironic yet vulnerable." Judy Stoffman, Toronto Star
