Dust to Dust Diane Fallon Forensic Investigations No 7 Beverly Connor 9780451227683 Books

Seventh in the Diane Fallon series. Diane Fallon runs both the River Falls Museum of Natural History and the Rosewood Crime Lab which occupies the other half of the museum building. In the former, she is answerable to the Board of Directors. In the latter, she is answerable to the sheriff. She sometimes tends to blur the lines between her two jobs, and her bright and energentic crew at the museum sometimes helps with problems on both sides of their building. In this book, Diane is helping a private eye uncover clues about the death of his daughter, killed while she was trying to prove her brother innocent of the murder for which he is serving time. These books are well characterized and well plotted. They keep you spellbound until the final page. If you read the entire series, you can watch the development of the characters and follow their personal and professional lives, however, each book is well worth reading on its own.

Dust to Dust Diane Fallon Forensic Investigations No 7 Beverly Connor 9780451227683 Books Reviews

I started reading Beverly Connor Diane Fallon books a couple of years ago. I started not in order and continue to read her book. Just finished dust to Dust and it's slow and towards the end picks up.
I bought the whole series of books, and the characters are great, the books are entertaining, but I like more investigation, science, clues, etc., and less chasing, being chased, shooting, fighting and getting klunked in the head. Really, if any one person was abducted, klunked, stabbed, or shot at as often as these folks from this small suburb of Atlanta, CNN would be all over them as magnets for danger. It's just not believable. So if you just read one book, it's great, but when you read the series, it's really too much trouble for one team. I do love the characters, however, and it was fun to follow them and see them evolve.
I like these mysteries. The balance between high tech forensics and gum shoe detective work is well done. Plots are intricate, the characters are likeable, the pace is "pedal to the metal", and the murder and mayhem is not the center of attention. I hope Ms. Connor continues to add books to this series.
I have read most of the books in Beverly Connor's Diane Fallon series and have enjoyed each one. "Dust to Dust" was an interesting book with a unique, if somewhat creepy premise. (Don't want to spoil the mystery, but it has to do with pottery and human bones.) This was a great book from beginning to end.

I like the character of Diane, because she is smart, independent, and ethical. It's also nice to read about co-workers who are friends and truly enjoy working together. I find each book to be exciting as well as educational - without being dull. Besides details related to archaeology, the book also included some interesting information on decoding, which is the specialty of Diane's boyfriend Frank.

If you haven't read the prior books in the series, you could start with this book and quickly get to know the characters and enjoy the book. However, after finishing "Dust to Dust", you will want to check out the earlier books!
When Dr. Diane Fallon, head of the Rosewood, Georgia crime lab, is called to the scene of a home invasion, the case becomes personal. The homeowner, Dr Marcella Payden, a colleague and friend, is hospitalized in critical condition. Another friend, Dr. Jonas Briggs, is being questioned by the police as a possible suspect.

Determined to find evidence leading to the person or persons responsible for the attack, Diane arrives at the crime scene. Her headlights illuminate an old farmhouse, peeling paint, rotten wood and eerie gargoyles standing sentry in the lawn. Before she can begin collecting evidence, Diane sees a shadowy movement inside the house and gunfire erupts from the nearby woods.

So begins another fast paced adventure featuring Rosewoods museum director, CSI and forensic anthropologist, Dr Diane Fallon. Before long, Diane is up to her knees in bodies, multiple cases, and strange, conflicting evidence. As determined as she is to let the evidence lead her to the solution, someone is just as determined to prevent it.

Connor always includes a little archeology, a little anthropology and just enough semi-technical crime scene detail to wet the appetite of arm chair CSI's. This novel also has some personal insights into the controversial science of criminal profiling which I found interesting. Connor's novels are roller coaster rides, one dramatic event leading to another with little time between. Strong female characters are one of the most appealing elements of these books. Fallon is no victim and never wastes time waiting for a hero on a white horse to rescue her. She manages to take care of herself in any situation.
Beverly Connor has written a clever, interesting, not-too-violent mystery series featuring a very likeable female lead who is surrounded by very entertaining secondary characters -- all expert in some field. Dust to Dust is the latest entry, and one of the best in the series. My suggestion Read them all! OK, suspend reality when it comes to Diane Fallon's job description, but it's hard to deny that she has a plum job -- if one like it existed. But how entertainning is it to be in charge of a museum, a forensics lab, a first-class group of employees and able to call all the shots in a murder investigation when you're just an anthropoligist? (Heh, heh) Connor is a clever, expert writer, a great story teller and her dialogue is right on. I truly enjoyed reading every one of the books she has written about Diane Fallon, including this latest one, as well as the series about Leslie Chamberlein. I sincerely believe she will entertain you as well.
