Well, geez, who can follow Thomas Jefferson.
Well, I've always loved biology and particularly the biology of the human body. I also loved anthropology in college (one of the three areas of my Social Sciences degree). So mix in a little murder and mayhem and you get...
Kathy Reichs
In her books you also get the contrasting backgrounds and cultures of North Carolina and Quebec. I like her predecessor in this very particular genre, but I ultimately like Reichs the best. Her characters have held my interest. I've read most of her books, but have some catching up to do.
She is a crime writer, forensic anthropologist and academic. She is a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (currently on leave). She divides her work time between the Laboratoire des Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale for the province of Quebec and her professorship at UNC Charlotte. She is one of the eighty-eight forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology and is on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
Reichs has appeared in Tanzania to testify at the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. She has assisted Dr. Clyde Snow and the Foundation for Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology in an exhumation in the area of Lake Atitlan in the highlands of southwest Guatemala. She was a member of the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team assigned to assist at the World Trade Center disaster.
Reichs has written sixteen novels to date, which have been translated into 30 languages. Her first novel, Déjà Dead, won the 1997 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
She´s also written two young adult novels named Virals (2010) and Seizure (2011) centered around Tempes´ grandniece Tory Brennan and a pack of her friends.
Not high literature, but sure a lot of fun to read!
