By Prescillia mercredi, septembre 03, 2014 IMM
Salut à tous. Je tenais a m'excuser du manque de régularité dans mes posts mais j'étais partit en vacances mais dès que ma rentrée sera faite les publications retrouverons leur régularité. Cependant, j'ai tout de même fait quelque acquisition livresque le mois dernier. Voici donc mes acquisitions du mois d’août:
Auteur: Kathy Reichs
Edition: Arrow
Pages: 384
ISBN: 978-0099547464
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Temperance Brennan revient à elle, ligotée au sol, enfermée dans un lieu exigu et glacial. Difficile de se rappeler les événements qui l'ont conduite jusqu'ici. Mais, peu à peu, les souvenirs refont surface, et Tempe va reconstituer, pièce après pièce, le puzzle de sa mémoire...Tout a commencé lorsqu'à la demande du coroner du Québec, elle a été chargée de transporter à Chicago la dépouille de Rose Jurmain, conservée jusqu'alors à l'institut médicolégal. Une fois sur place, Tempe apprend de l'avocat de la famille Jurmain qu'un coup de téléphone anonyme l'a accusée d'avoir bâclé, voire falsifié, l'enquête sur la mort de cette femme. Qui peut chercher à lui nuire ainsi ? C'est le médecin examinateur du comté de Cook qui va hériter du corps en même temps que de l'affaire Jurmain.De retour à Montréal, Tempe se voit confier d'autres enquêtes, d'autres cadavres, qui semblent toutefois la ramener à celui de Rose Jurmain. Les affaires pourraient être liées, mais son intuition et son savoir-faire sont de nouveau mis en doute. Serait-elle moins efficace, moins précise, en raison du harcèlement dont elle est victime ? Ou de ses histoires de cœur ? Il semble surtout que quelqu'un ait tout intérêt à saboter son travail...Kathy Reichs tient le lecteur en haleine dans une alternance de chapitres à l'efficacité redoutable : d'un côté, Tempe lutte pour sa survie, recluse dans l'obscurité froide d'un caveau, tandis que, de l'autre, lui revient par bribes le déroulement de l'enquête qui l'a menée là.

A missing child. A desperate mother. A private investigator running out of time. Mel Sutherland didn't need the help of a fraudulent psychic to find the abducted baby - and she wasn't about to let a con-artist exploit a grieving mother's vulnerability. Then all the leads dried up. Reluctantly, Mel had to accept Sebastian Donovan's aid. She was cynical about his powers and suspicious of his motives. But as the clock ticked, Sebastian unfailingly knew how to follow the abductor's tracks and Mel had to make up her mind. Was Sebastian's gift real? Or was something far more sinister at work? Passion. Power. Suspense.It's time to fall under the spell of Nora Roberts.
