Good story and quick pace but a little too many POVs for me.

Vanish is one of those books that I enjoyed, but wouldn't read again. It's the kind of book I'd pick up when I had nothing else to read and just needed an in between to my next read. A clean slate, simple and nondescript it's a cleansing read. Perfect when you feel a book slump coming on: quick paced, easy to digest, Vanish is one of those books you can read without really thinking late at night.
I love detailed and interesting plots but going back and forth between “good” and “evil” with the occasional flash back in not what I had envisioned when I started reading this book. While it was full of mystery/suspense I felt that it lacked the “wow” factor I anticipated. That being said “Vanish” was entertaining for what is was: a middle of the road murder mystery. As for it being the 5th in a series, I can totally see why it can be read as a stand alone, however you can tell that there were prior mysteries to this book, relationships with other characters were already developed and so forth.
You know a mystery is good when you can't stop reading, and in this case I could have done just that and not have cared about the outcome of the story. This may come of as being harsh but it's just the reality of my reading experience... I liked the book just fine, but it was nothing to get excited over – I unfortunately made the mistake of getting high hopes and then was let down. Overall there wasn't anything amazing in this book, it was well written and there was plenty going on, but nothing that took me by much surprise.

Although I enjoyed the mystery, I'm giving this book five stars alone based on the portrayal of Rizzoli's first days as a mom. I so very much appreciated the realism--according to my experience at least--of being a first-time mom, especially as a woman who truly enjoys her work and and is incredibly good at it but who has no idea what to do with the tiny human being that she is suddenly in charge of. (Sorry! Of whom she is currently in charge.)

I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a day and a half. It is a crackerjack thriller, starting with human trafficking of women across the Mexican border into the USA. There are two threads in the beginning, which merge halfway through the book. The second thread starts with a body in the Boston morgue who is still alive. There is a coverup extending to high government officials, and a hostage situation with Detective Rizzoli one of the hostages all leading to a satisfying ending. I rate it 5 stars out of 5.
This is book 5 in the series and I have been reading them in order.

This was a good story with likable characters. It had a slow start and really took some time to get consumed in it. However, once it got going I didn't want to put the book down. The ending caught me by surprise. It was the plot that apparently isn't my thing. I was so distraught by what happens to those young women. It just seemed sad.

"Ik staar voor me uit, zie mijn tranen op de tafel vallen en voel me alsof mijn hart bloedt, alsof iedere traan een deeltje van mijn wezen is dat wegvloeit."

This series is as enjoyable as ever. Tangled plots, interesting red herrings, unexpected developments. Definitely a great read.

I don't know what to put in this review that I haven't said before except that this was amazing once again and that Tess' stories are sooo beautifully constructed!

Probably one of the harder books to read from this series. Some scene's were difficult to read.
Kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Another great read by this author. I like this series. There are still things that drive me nuts about Rizzoli but I enjoy the stories. I am sure others will enjoy it as well.
