Again, I must say this is one of the topmost gripping crime thrillers I have ever encountered and crime-writing at its very best. I highly recommend reading this series. Oh, and don't forget to watch the television series of Rizzoli and Isles if you haven't already - they are so good - it is one of those rare and exceptional times when reading the book and watching television work so well together.
Hardback: Three children, strangers to each other, are brought together by seemingly motiveless and extreme acts of violence.
Orphaned and alone, they are taken in as students at Evensong, a boarding school for emotionally traumatized children in the remote Maine wilderness.
Is it a place of safety or a place of danger?
Forensic pathologist Maura Isles already has a connection with the school - Julian 'Rat' Perkins, the 16-year-old boy she met during a previous case, is now living there.
But she suspects that the Evensong founders may be using the school for their own agenda.
And her concerns grow when Detective Jane Rizzoli is asked to investigate yet another attempt on the life of one of the orphans at the school.
What both Jane and Maura soon discover is that even a school protected by locked gates and acres of forest cannot shut out a gathering threat. When three blood-spattered twig dolls are found hanging from a tree, they wonder if the threat comes from outside the school or from within.
About the author: Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy rooms. Her thrillers starring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles inspired the hit TV series Rizzoli and Isles. But Tess's interests span far more than medicine and crime. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world, driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She lives in Maine with her husband.
The next and eleventh Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles book, Die Again, will be out on 18 December 2014.
Rating: 5/5
