This book was pretty suspenseful, and I didn't figure out who the killer was ahead of time. The thing I didn't like about this story was that there was too much medical and technical mumbo jumbo.

While I like the character of Rizzoli better on television than I do in this book, I still enjoyed the book. The story kept me interested and even the manner of the crime was interesting, because its different from other mystery novels I've read. I hope the book version of Rizzoli grows on me because I really want to continue reading the series.

I really like this book . It’s a very enjoyable story, but just short of epic. Certain areas may not be as fulfilling as they could have been. I’m not quite as captivated or blown away, but still had a great experience. I’d recommend this book to others and continue reading from this author. I would probably re-read it.
This was my first Tess Gerritsen book. I had heard good things about her, especially about her Rizzoli and Isles characters.
While I enjoyed this story I feel like it didn’t get really good until the last few chapters. It would suck me in for a little before losing me for a while before sucking me back in again.
I think Gerritsen did an amazing job of explaining how Jane Rizzoli felt being the only woman in a male dominated field. She also did very well explaining how Rizzoli felt “unattractive” compared to other women and hit on some insecurities that many of us have.
I’m looking forward to reading more of her books in the future.
