“A very talented writer” (Lee Child), who is “smart, tough, and right on the mark” (Catherine Coulter), and “among the best writers of crime fiction” (Jan Burke), Anthony Award-winning author Robin Burcell broadens her canvas with The Bone Chamber—an electrifying thriller that recalls the best of James Rollins and Dan Brown as it races across the globe. An extraordinary adventure that combines C.S.I. forensic investigation with global conspiracy and ancient secrets of the Vatican and the Knights Templar, The Bone Chamber is a non-stop thrill ride that never slows down.

From the Back Cover

Mysteriously summoned to Quantico to help re-create the face of a murdered, mutilated young woman, FBI forensic artist Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows immediately this is no ordinary crime. The hit-and-run death of the forensic anthropologist assisting her—a close friend—and Sydney's abrupt dismissal from the case by covert government investigators only strengthen her need for answers. Now her hunt for a killer is carrying her from Washington to Rome to the hidden chamber of a legendary tomb—on the trail of a fabled treasure of the Knights Templar . . . and a curse.

For buried deep in the mysteries of the Freemasons and the Vatican's Holy See is a secret that could rock the world. Suddenly an ancient map is pointing Sydney toward something the Templars wished to hide away forever—something that could unleash an unstoppable tide of blood and devastation.

Damn, the author killer has struck again with this gem. With that I'm referring to how one authors writing makes you stop reading another ones work.

That's just what author Robin Burcell does with 'The Bone Chamber' the 2nd book in the Sidney Fitzpatrick series, she puts you in the pages and your right their in Italy with Sidney and Griffin.

With 'The Bone Chamber' strap yourself into your favorite reading spot, your in for a hellacious read, a intertwining storyline, full of twist and turns, perfectly paced and best of all Burcell puts you into the pages with Sidney and Griffin.

Burcell wrote an amazing international thriller with this one. She threw everything and the kitchen sink in with it, mix in an FBI agent who puts her career in jeopardy, with Black Ops and CIA agents, with the Vatican, Templars, Freemasons, history, add in tunnels and catacombs under the Rome streets, a treasure map that leads to bio-weapons, corrupt politicians and you end up with the gem 'The Bone Chamber'.

So many readers compare her writing to Dan Brown and Steve Berry, two authors I have read. I just don't see it, she challenges her readers, she doesn't push the easy button like Brown, her writing is well crafted, fun, always adds new ingredients to her writing, it's just not the same old thing, it's believable, plausible even unlike Berry whose style is just an overload unrealistic themes and writes like it's a script for actor Tom Cruise.

This is the four different series that I've read from the author Robin Burcell, definitely one of my favorites and a must read author for any reader to try.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Bone Chamber by Robin Burcell

I enjoy Burcell's writing. It is clear, well paced, and enticing. Her heroine has a talent for evaluation which assists in her primary worth to the FBI, her ability to create portraits of people from witness discriptions. She also has a very deeply imbedded curiosity.

When a dear friend is killed in a hit-and-run she is guilt ridden, thinking she accidently set the woman up by suggesting her talents to another agent. She goes on the hunt for the killer, which takes her to Italy and the Vatican.

The anthropological twist to this story connected to her artistic frame of mind is the crux of both the mystery and the denoument. Her growing fascination with the agent she recommended her friend to is a saving grace for her--literally as he saves her life at least twice during her hunt.

The intricate artistic mystery, the hunt through old ruins and the shadowy group of people out to kill her and her guardian angel agent make for a very enjoyable read.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about artistic achievement in any realm, history, religious history, medieval history, classic conspiracy theory, guilt-ridden sleuths, or well written books.

This is the first work of Robin Burcell's I have read. I love the fact that she used her experience as a forensic artists. It allows for a definite touch of reality.

I can say I had to reread a few parts; not the fault of Ms. Burcell's writing talent. Well maybe considering I was so engrossed in reading the story I read to the end of the book not being able to put it down when I finished it was 5 AM. The story is fast paced, intriguing, full of adventure and mystery.

The violence was more or less suggested, and not described in horrifying detail. The romantic bud again is subtle, which makes it all the more interesting.

This was a fun book, if you want to get lost in a story. It is descriptive, and the action is fast paced.

3.0 out of 5 stars So so
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013

I found this book to be mildly entertaining largely because of the Templar and Freemason involvement. But, at times, it was hard to follow and somewhat confusing. I held on to the end as the plot unraveled, but in retrospect I'm not sure why. The writing is inconsistent and only a notch above amatureish, and the dialogue was often stilted and seemed illogical. This was the first book I've read by this author, so perhaps her writing has improved, but at this moment I have no desire to read another of her efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars mystery, thriller, action adventure kept me riveted
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2012
Verified Purchase
As many reviewers have already mentioned this book contains elements of conspiracy theory, the Masons, Knights Templar, Black Ops and the possibility of an act of terrorism. The main character, FBI agent Sydney Fitzpatrick is unwillingly at first drawn into this mystery. But once she gets involved she is determined to figure out what is going on. Elements of this story reminded me of Indiana Jones, Kay Scarpetta, Robert Langdon and Nicholas Cage's character from National Treasure. Sydney stands her ground refusing to return to San Francisco and flies to Rome. First she has to figure out the identity of a mystery woman found dead in the D.C. area, then who ARE these people she is working for? (Not the FBI which she is led to believe). In Rome, Sydney finds out that her anthropologist friend has also been murdered which has made this investigation/adventure personal. She has to learn who she can trust and what she needs to do. The character of Sydney is what made this book work for me. She is a strong, feisty character who is determined to "do the right thing".

I read lots of thrillers and this one kept me engrossed in the story. I felt like I came to know Sydney and Griffin. Some novels just don't give you enough about the characters to see them as real people - Robin Burcell certainly knows how to do this. Some of the other reviewers gave away the whole story. Those reviews should come with warnings: "spoilers" I say (Dr Who fans will recognize that). I will not to that but just say that this is a good solid read, full of twists and turns, danger, excitement, etc. Now I have gone back and am reading "Face of a Killer".

I like a good adventure story, and this did not disappoint. I liked the writing style, it was well edited, and most important it kept my interest to the very end. An excellent read in every way. It was believable and the characters were some I could relate to. I have recommended this to several friends. If you like good adventure this is for you.

FBI forensic artist, special agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows an unusual crime when she sees one! Without giving too much away, we follow Sydney on her chase from Washington to Rome to the hidden chamber of a legendary tomb - another trail or is it a curse? Devastation may await. Read on this very unusual thriller that it well written, gripping and well within the boundaries of readable action adventure thrilling copy. A great improvement of others of this ilk and the details make it much more fascinating. I can never get enough of this genre but so often find mysef disappointed with the author's lack of country knowledge and history. This time it was excellent. Give this one a go! You will not be disappointed.  The Bone Chamber

(Note: James Rollins has given this a terrific review - that led me to find this one)
