This book was a finalist for the 2024 Colorado Book Award for Mystery. Once Mattie reached the edge of the trees, she slipped on the goggles and made sure she’d adjusted the strap tightly enough for them to stay in place should she need to run or jog. When she looked down at Robo, his black shape and tan markings were clearly delineated. Tufts of grass, rocks, and ruts underfoot were also clearly visible, and here and there she noticed a disturbance in the terrain, a slight flattening of the grass.

In 1972, the late, great John Denver released his iconic song “Rocky Mountain High” extolling the beauty of the state of Colorado. As a teen, I lived on a cattle ranch near the small town of Saguache, surrounded by mountains in Colorado’s high altitude San Luis Valley. The song exemplifies my lifelong love of the Colorado high country.

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been.

Warning! When you marry a veterinarian, you not only agree to live with that person, you also agree to live the vet’s life. Divorce rate charts indicate that around one quarter of veterinarian marriages end in divorce, which is lower than the national average, but vets’ spouses might still be surprised at the demands this profession can place on their partner. The reasons cited for veterinarian divorce are often related to extended work hours, lack of family time, and stress.
