Jane Rizzoli, the terrific detective character created by Tess Gerritsen, is back in the second Rizzoli & Isles book. Beginning a year after the resolution of The Surgeon, Rizzoli is tormented by a copycat killer. At first, she's the only one who sees the parallels, including an FBI agent who arrives uninvited. The autopsy work by Dr. Isles proves her right, and puts her in danger. Rizzoli is a complex and troubled woman, struggling for acceptance in a male-dominated profession. She feels forced to deal with her fears and doubts alone, in spite of offers of help from friends. Ms. Gerritsen has crafted another excellent mystery, including her trademark medical knowledge. Tense, fast-paced, and well written. Five stars all the way. This is the second in Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles books. They’re so incredibly different from the TV show (which I also enjoy, but for very different reasons). This book hooked me from the beginning with its fast pace, great characters and fluid writing style. I thought the ending was a little too pat and easy… the lead-up to the final encounter was so dramatic that the quick wrap-up felt like a bit of a let-down, but definitely not enough to detract from my overall enjoyment of this book. I’ll be looking for the next in the series! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles--the inspiration for the hit TNT series--continue their crime-solving streak. The bestselling author of The Surgeon returns--and so does that chilling novel's diabolical villain. Though held behind bars, Warren Hoyt still haunts a helpless city, seeming to bequeath his evil legacy to a student all-too-diligent . . . and all-too-deadly. It is a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the city's woes is a series of shocking crimes, in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the city's streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that's what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her--literally and figuratively--she is determined to finally end Hoyt's awful influence . . . even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad. But Rizzoli isn't counting on the U.S. government's sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isn't counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta. . . . Filled with superbly created characters--and the medical and police procedural details that are her trademark--The Apprentice is Tess Gerritsen at her brilliant best. Set in a stunning world where evil is easy to learn and hard to end, this is a thriller by a master who could teach other authors a thing or two. No library descriptions found. |
