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

A special thank you to Random House and First Reads for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What an adventure! Dynamic duo, Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner, Maura Isles return in Tess Gerritsen’s latest heart-pounding thriller, DIE AGAIN from Boston to the wilds of Botswana, for a terrifying adventure. The crime solving pair, of course is the inspiration behind TNT’s hit show Rizzoli & Isles.
Broken in two parts for a multi-layered fast-paced action thriller. Narrated by a woman on a safari in Okavango Delta, Botswana 6 years prior as the case unfolds--she the only survivor found in South Africa, and brought to Boston to help solve the murders. An electrifying thriller, where the world’s most bloodthirsty predators lie in wait behind every hidden crevice.
Rizzoli and Isles find themselves close on the trail of a murderer, who sadistic styling mimic a leopard on the prowl. After linking the latest crime, sixty-four year old big game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott,(a house like Noah’s Ark with mounted animals), to a series of unsolved homicides in wilderness areas across the country, where answers may be found in a remote corner of South Africa.
Six years earlier, a group of tourists on safari fell prey to a killer in their midst. But the deadliest predator was already among them, he walked away with the blood of all but one of them on his hands.
Now this killer has chosen Boston as his new hunting ground, and Rizzoli and Isles must find a way to lure him out of the shadows and into a cage. Even if it means using the one victim as bait; the one victim who got away-- Millie Jacobson, the safari’s only survivor. (the account of how they were trapped and terrified --an unsolved massacre in years past- haunting!)
This was the most chilling and suspenseful novel, gripping you as you want to cover your eyes in the scary parts; however, you are dying to turn the page to discover the fate of the innocent against the savage beast.
Gerritsen definitely takes readers into the criminal minds and the best of forensic sciences where there is much detail of predators, animals and humans; vivid settings and descriptions –From footsteps to whispers, she calculates every move. Tess plunges deep into the dark human behaviors for a haunting and suspenseful tale page-turner mystery which her fans will agree this one is a SCORE!

Rizzoli and Isles are back in top form with Die Again. The book is divided between a past event and a current murder investigation. I enjoyed how the chapters move you through time to what was to what is. One wonders how a murder in Boston can be linked to a safari expedition, but in Gerritsen style she weaves a complex storyline and is able to not lose the reader. This one lacks her touches of the supernatural, but still a wild ride.

It's books like these that remind me why I love reading. This book is about an African safari in the bush that turns into a nightmare when one by one the tourists are being killed off. I loved this book and the plot. I always loved the Rizzoli and Isles series and this does not disappoint!!

It takes me far to long before I pic up the next books in the series. Keep waiting for them the get available to read on my book app. Rizzoli and Isles just keep on getting better and better and which each new case I'm reading about I'm absolutely glued to the page and read it all in one sitting. Ab absolutely intense and exciting read. The books follows a grusomemurder on a taxidermist and quickly escalates when the fur of a snow leopard is stolen from his home and another body is found shortly after. A puzzling case as there keep coming up more lose ends but also clues. Always intensley interesting and I was wholeheartedly focused on the story. Loved it!

4.5 stars.
I have been reading this series for three years, since I started watching the tv series. The books and the series are different, but I enjoy both. This book starts out with a grisly murder. Detectives Rizzoli and Frost are called to scene of an especially gruesome murder. The dead man, Leon Gott, is found hanging from the ceiling. He has been eviscerated and hung up like a hunter hangs a deer. ME Maura Isles is also called to the scene. Dr. Isles ultimately plays a significant role in tying this murder to other murders and helps track down a serial killer.
There are two stories in this book which do connect. One story takes place in Botswana, with a group of tourists on a wilderness safari. Members of the group are being murdered, one by one. The second is the murders in the U.S.
Leon Gott had 2 cats and 1 dog. The dog is adopted by a neighbor. One of the cats stays hidden in the dead man's house, with Frost leaving food for it. The second cat is adopted by Maura. This leads to some funny lines for cat lovers/haters.
Some cat quotes:
Maura--"Could anyone truly trust a cat?"
Rizzoli to Frost, discussing the second cat: " Why don't you adopt it?"
Frost: "I'm a guy."
Erin Volchko, Boston PD lab tech: "A single cat sheds hundreds of thousands of cat hairs in a year."
Maura, musing about the cat turning up his nose at ordinary cat food and ignoring her after he had rubbed against and purred and followed her at the crime scene: "It was the universal lament of disappointed wives: He charmed me, wooed me, and now I'm his maid."
This book is a real page turner. I read it in 3 days. A well done mystery with enough twists and turns that left me guessing until almost the end.
I purchased this book.
