Although the culprit was obvious early on, I really enjoyed this one. I loved getting to know more about Rizzoli, Isles, and Gabriel Dean. I'll cotinue with the series!

I definitely liked this book better than my first foray into the series. The book starts off with a horrifying killing at a cloistered order of nuns. While gruesome, the author leaves just enough clues out there to make me want to follow the trail of the mystery. I also like how Gerritsen weaves see...

Gerritsen writes a fairly good murder/mystery until she introduces romance into it. The book then drags about the character's feelings for each other and makes me want to put the book away unfinished. I did finish it to see who the killer was but as in previous books, the ending is wrapped up quickl...

This is the third story in the Isles/Rizoli series and while interesting, it seems to have lost a certain something for me. The characters seem to have lost themselves into angst and forgotten some of the core character points. It's unusual in a series for characters to move to being more cardboar...

Overall I enjoyed the book. I liked getting to know Isles better, finally, and even Rizzoli became much more human and brought to life. I think there was maybe a little too much time spent on personal stories instead of the nitty, gritty homicide case solving suspense. I'm hoping that now that the c...

Complete Review This book was so much better than The Apprentice, the previous book in the series. Why did I enjoy it more? The characters were more interactive, expanded into their personal lives, and showed their struggles with the cases extending into their lives. If you didn’t like The Apprentic...

It's not always easy to read Tess Gerritsen books. She often conjures scenes that are the very depths of depravity. I personally find some of the things she writes a little on the ghoulish side, but that isn't to say she doesn't deserve to be a best-selling author. Leaving aside some of those descr...

This book really brings out the Rizzoli and Isles characters and you can sense that the writer is hitting her stride. You learn a lot more about both women's pasts and it makes the characters a lot more likeable. Rizzoli in particular - she's less abrasive in this book and I feel like the author h...

I get annoyed when strong women act stupid w.r.t. men. (Which is not to say I never have, but still....)

So this book took a different view point. We finally got to see more of Dr. Maura Isles and hear her voice.This one was not as intriguing to me as the Surgeon was. I still want to continue on with the series to see where these characters go and how they develop. Unfortunately, it was the plot that d...
