Despite the novel's success, Reichs continued her forensic anthropology work for Quebec and the state of North Carolina with about 40 and 30 cases a year respectively. But she did begin focusing more of her attention on her writing career. Reichs published her much-anticipated second novel, Death du Jour , in In this book, which is also set in Montreal, Brennan investigates multiple deaths and murders including a nun who was nominated for sainthood, an old woman at a farmhouse, and babies with their hearts cut out.
The cases were again inspired by two faith-related cases, including the deaths of five member of the Solar Temple cult. While Deja Dead had received generally positive, critics and readers were not as impressed by its sequel.
Still, Reichs signed a new deal with Scribner to produce three new Brennan books in three years. Reich's next title in the series came in , with Deadly Decisions. In this book, Brennan deals with a visiting nephew while investigating a number of murders related to a motorcycle gang war. Returning to North Carolina for Fatal Voyage in , Brennan investigates an airplane crash in the Great Smoky Mountains in which 88 passengers have died. The plane was carrying a sports team and its fans.
During her investigation, she finds a body part which does not match anyone on board and it leads her to an isolated mountain cabin where bad things have happened. Because of the finding, Brennan is fired from her post, but she continues to pursue the case despite power brokers working against her. As Reichs' Brennan series progressed, the author developed her methodology for writing the books. She told the Montreal Gazette 's Charlie Fidelman, "I start with a case I've worked on and then I change all the details, names, places, and dates.
At that time, she excavated a mass grave in Guatemala which contained 23 bodies. The victims were primarily women and children who were murdered by military personnel. Continuing the series always posed new challenges for Reichs. Talking to Adam Dunn of Publishers Weekly before 's Bare Bones was published, Reichs admitted, "Well, there are certain things you have to repeat, for people who are picking up this book first, but you don't want to rehash.
So there are certain details to repeat, but in new ways, and that's one challenge. You also don't want the story to repeat. Inspired by another true story she heard, Reichs has Brennan look into how the skeletal remains of three teenage girls made their way into the basement of a pizzeria in Montreal in 's offering, Monday Mourning. Praising the book, Fidelman of the Gazette wrote, "Reich's writing is only getting better.
Dialogue flows more naturally and shows wit. A stranger sends Brennan looking for clues from biblical times in order to solve the man's death. She must examine a skeleton from a man who died in the siege of Massada as well as an Israeli family tomb over the course of her investigation.
Like many of Reichs' previous books, Cross Bones was a best seller; it was translated into 30 languages. While Reichs continued her two careers, a television series was created based both on her novels in a general sense as well as her real-life work in forensic anthropology. Like Reichs, this Brennan was both a forensic anthropologist and an author who wrote mystery novels, though she is in her thirties, a bit younger than her literary equivalent.
The twist comes in that this Brennan writes novels centered around a character named Kathy Reichs. The author Reichs appreciated the series and the twists. She told Carol Memmott of USA Today , "We hope my readers will get a kick out of that and realize that it's another manifestation of Tempe, and they are in on this inside joke. As Bones aired on television, Reichs continued to do her forensic anthropology work and write, including 's Break No Bones , which focuses on the human organ trade.
She admitted her dual careers were sometimes difficult for her to handle. From teaching FBI agents how to detect and recover human remains, to separating and identifying commingled body parts in her Montreal lab, as one of only seventy-seven forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, Dr Kathy Reichs has brought her own dramatic work experience to her mesmerising forensic thrillers.
