The actual murder plot was ok but over shadowed by and unwanted, unnecessary, and underdeveloped romance. I did not believe in this romance, there was no real connection between the characters, they seemed to have nothing to base their relationship other than sexual attraction. Ruined the book for me as i just wanted to skip past these parts but unfortunately it made up most of the book. This book read more as a badly developed romance novel with a crime subplot than and crime thriller with a romantic sub plot.
It’s a shame as I usually love Tess Gerritsen but this was just not it.

I think this was a fun book to read. I liked the storyline and the way of writing. The ending was a little predictable to me but I still enjoyed reading it. Toward the end the story increased in pace which made me more reluctant to keep reading. In my opinion, the development of relationships in this book were really fun and entertaining. In the beginning I was not sure where certain relationships were going and that kept me on my toes and made me more eager to continue. I read this book in a very short amount of time cause it is written in a way that's easy to understand but still contains enough depth.

Ficou uma coisa meio sem lógica no final, mas ainda foi um bom final.

I thought I was getting a medical thriller, but I got a romance. And not just any romance, but a cliche 1950's romance. It was cringeworthy. The mystery part of the story fell short too. So many things didn't add up and a lot of threads were left loose. What a disappointment!

wat een geweldig boek!
de personages zitten zo goed in elkaar en het was een grote plottwist voor mij om erachter te komen wie nu de moordenaar was.
