I enjoyed the book, but like many mystery/suspense novels, the ending seemed to be super abrupt after a lot of build up. Won't stop me from continuing the series, however.

Some of the characters (Frost, Angela, Maura) are physically very different from the tv series, but still a great read!

This book is the second in the Rizzoli and Isles series. The book is as well written as the first, however, I did not find it quite so enjoyable. I believe this maybe due to the fact that I have watched the series so knew the story very well. Some of the surprises and twists that kept me entertained in the first book were not evident in the second due to knowing the story so well.
This is a good read for fans of both the series and the author.

This is a chilling story of two serial killers, one in prison, who breaks out with the help of the second. They then unite to kill together. If you watch the Rizzoli series on tv, you will notice that there are differences in the charcters. This book is a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

It had suspense, mystery, a touch of romance, and murder scenes. Some of them disturbing that makes your hair crawl. The ending made me gasp and wonder what is to come in the next book.

Took me longer to get into this book than the first. This book follows on from the plot in The Surgeon. Rizzoli was still battling the same demons and issues so there was no new major development to her character.
Dr Isles at last made her appearance and you got a bit more of Rizzoli's family life, which for those of you who like me are fans of the TV series, the characters are totally different.
I am unsure of why The Apprentice was written as it was just far too similar to The Surgeon, almost like reading a second rate version of the first novel. However, it was still well written and I enjoyed it however it just felt slightly lacking from her opening novel.

I didn't think Ms Gerritsen would be able to top The Surgeon but I was wrong. Fast paced, edge of the seat and I admit to being unable to put this down.
Jane Rizzoli is a tough cop, just a shade away from being unlikeable but we finally see her humanity in this one.
Looking forward to reading the next.
