The Kathy Reichs books have nothing to do with the Bones TV series, except the name "Temperance Brennan", and forensic anthropology. The characters, tone, and settings are all wildly different. Very good books, though.
I also love the Body Farm books; only recently discovered them. I also like the Beverly Connor "Diane Fallon" series, starting with "One Grave Too Many". A bit lighter in tone, but interesting. The protagonist (Diane Fallon) is a forensic anthropologist, and runs a museum and crime lab on the side.
I used to love the Kay Scarpetta books, but they got too depressing for me (everyone she loved was killed horribly, etc.).
