This is definitely my favorite of the series so far. I loved the back and forth from Botswana to Boston. Just a terrific book that had me hooked from page one to the end.

I love the flashbacks to the days of the crime in Africa - really draws you into the story!

Tess Gerritsen’s books are such easy, page-turning reads whilst dealing with grizzly crimes. I have grown tired of many formulaic crime series but I keep coming back to Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles. The characters’ lives are as much a draw as the mysteries they solve.
I enjoyed the tension of the chapters in Botswana, told in first person by Millie, a woman dragged into the wilderness by her boyfriend who has already grown tired of her. At first, she seems like a bit of a wet blanket, being rough ridden over by a man more interested in nature and the two attractive blondes that are part of their group. But she soon comes to prove herself resilient and the key to the whole thing.
Without too much of a spoiler, cats large and small are a big part of the story. The Boston victim’s cats are taken in, one by Maura who doesn’t adjust well to the life of a cat owner. It doesn't quite fill the gap left by Father Brody. There’s ever present danger of the big cats in Botswana and the less obvious danger of those in captivity. The story also touches on hunting and the ethics, whether for food or for sport.

First off I have to say...OMG! It has been some books a while ago since I read one from this author. After reading this book I plan to go back and check out the ones I missed and don't let this happen again. This book reminded me of why I first fell in love with the talented Tess Gerritsen. One of my favorite duos in the mystery, suspense genre is Jane and Maura. Otherwise know as Rizzoli and Isles. They are so different but could not be more perfect together. As the saying goes...Opposites attract.
This book started out strong and did not let up once not even at the ending. Which the ending was great. The author did not rush it but drew it out for the perfect conclusion. I kept trying to figure out the connection with the murders and could never do so until the reveal. Both storylines of Boston and South Africa were exciting. Sometimes this does not always happen with a book where both storylines are equally matched. Die Again will have you sitting on the edge of your seat guessing until the very end!

I really like her books but I do feel the more I read that the endings are a little rushed just to tie up the loose ends and they are a little predictable but I do t know if that is just because I have read all her books.
I would carry on reading them though as they are entertaining
