Discussion:

In general, everyone liked the book. It had interesting characters and some unusual twists, not following the usual genre formula. Also, figuring out "who done it" took some doing and close attention to minute clues. However, the ending seemed disappointing to most. But, as Leonore put it, "Even though it was called Bones, it was a meaty book."
