This is undoubtedly my fault for coming in so late to a series but I felt like I was coming in late to a series. That is to say I felt like there were people I should have known more about and I wasn't sure how much I was supposed to care about the central mystery. Were the events in South America something that had been covered or at least touched on in other books? I have no idea.
The premise is very reminiscent of Bones, although just from this one book I much prefer Connor's style to Kathy Reichs'. The protagonist is a forensic anthropologist, who at least sometimes works on mass graves and proving war crimes, and she simultaneously works for (and heads) the museum and the crime lab which is located in the museum.
The people she surrounds herself with are also interesting but I don't feel a need to read other books in the series.
