I honestly think that bugs are disgusting. If they are in your house then you should kill them. But if they are outside in nature then you should leave them alone because they are not harming you. They probaly are brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. leave it alone like Tim the writer. But otherwise i’ll kill it because i don’t want bug’s in my house. But in the other hand i don’t feel guilty about killing ants, spider, and the

Given the ominous situation at the very beginning, I was quite sure about what events were set to occur. I was wrong about half of them. The death occurs in a zoo, and it is with extremely small chance encounters that the issue is resolved, but it feels possible for the reader to follow the logic without dwelling too much on it.(3 stars) As is noted in this title’s introduction, animals are an often overlooked element in mystery fiction. Well, no longer with this collection of fourteen stories. Here are Monkeys, Dogs, Parakeets, even Earthworms, and more. Got this out the library! Yay libraries.
