So, I had to do another re-read of Rizzoli & Isles of the new book coming out this year (2022) and I need to be up to date on the info!

Anyways, I love these books. They're brilliantly written and perfectly gory! If you have an active imagine as I do, then you'll have no trouble envisioning certain parts.

IE: the guys leg that is literally hanging on by skin!

I  love Rizzoli and cannot wait until Maura Isles comes in!! I haven't read The Surgeon in quite some time, so while reading I was gasping and shocked at some of the things I read! 😂 

Ok, can we just agree that Moore getting involved with (Catherine) the only known survivor of the orginal murders and rape, during newly active investigations and murders is disturbing, unprofessional and cringey? Every time I read his parts with Catherine, I hate it.
