Flesh and Bone

A Body Farm Novel

By: Jefferson Bass

Narrated by: Erik Singer

Dr. Bill Brockton, the founder of the world-famous Body Farm, is hard at work on a troubling new case. A young man's battered body has been found in nearby Chattanooga, and it's up to the talented Dr. Brockton to assemble the pieces of the forensic puzzle. Brockton is brought into the case by the rising star of the state's medical examiners, Jess Carter.

Just as they're on the verge of breaking the case open, events take a terrifying turn. Brockton has re-created the gruesome Chattanooga death scene at the Body Farm, but a killer places another corpse at the site, putting Brockton's career and even his life in jeopardy. Soon Brockton is accused of the horrific new crime, and the once-beloved professor becomes an outcast. Brockton must use all of his forensic skills to prove his own innocence...before he ends up behind bars with some of the very killers he's helped to convict.

Flesh and Bone is another roller-coaster ride into the world of forensic anthropology, raising powerful questions about the nature of justice, loyalty, honor, and evil. This astonishing novel confirms Jefferson Bass as one of our most talented authors of suspense.

Narration Issues

Would you listen to Flesh and Bone again? Why?

No. I would rather read it. The narrator spoke in monotones.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot was intriguing, well woven, and the ending was superb.

What didn’t you like about Erik Singer’s performance?

The narrator sounded like he had a terminal case of ennui.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Fresh forgets; bone remembers.

Any additional comments?

I would love to see the series turned into a film franchise.

Another Great book by Bass!

Well crafted mystery & beautifully narrated! It pulls you in & you can’t listen fast enough to find out what will happen next! Jefferson Bass paints a picture so distinctly with his words that you forget you aren’t actually there with the characters. It’s a must read!

A permit of fact and fiction!

I absolutely love the very informative insight from the likes of Dr William Bass along side of the fictional tale that makes this series so interesting! It leaves me looking forward to the next book in the series! It’s like a forensic anthropology lesson coupled with a murder mystery. Two of my favorite things…! Enjoy the facts and fiction!!

too much music between chapters.

The music distracts from the story. It's otherwise it is a great story and narration.

Fantastic story by Jefferson Bass

This was another very (edge of your seat) style of writing that makes you love all of Jefferson Bass's books.
