4.03 AVERAGE


Tess Gerritsen seems to have a thing for lone survivors of multiple murder. That said, this book went by really quickly - even though I saw the twist coming long before the end.

Great book. I love that Gerritsen stays fresh with each book.

I dont normally read this genre of book but I'm glad I did, this story has twists and turns and really grips you to want to read more. I will definitely be reading more of tess's books in the future. If you're not sure if you want to read this book, just do it. It's an easy read and i found it very gripping.

As someone who reads a lot of thriller/mystery novels, they often blur into one. This one however really stood out for me. I found the setting of the safari in Africa really different and compelling. I wasn't actually as invested in the other point of the story, but frantically tried to read the chapters so I could get back to what happened in Africa.

A little further in I felt the story slowed down somewhat, but the description and scenes in the bush in Africa sucked me in completely and I was as scared as if I was there with them. Beautifully written with a decent twist at the end, I have recommended this book to several different people but unfortunately they do not share my views! If you want a different topic in a thriller, this is one to read.

This was good, but after reading multiple of the Rizzoli & Isles book the trope ‘something almost goes wrong in the end’ starts to loose its sparkle.

The murders were interesting, although I figured out who the suspect should be halfway the book. There were some twist, which made the book enjoyable but not spectacular. Felt like a solid Criminal Minds episode.

Another cracking book by Tess Gerristen, it took less than 24 hours to read because I could not stop! So so good!!

Der Schneeleopard von Tess Gerritsen ist der 11. Band der Rizzoli and Isles Thriller .
Das Buch hat mich mal wieder umgehauen. Die Charaktere und Geschichten über so viele Bände hinweg immer wieder auszubauen und spannend zu halten, spricht eindeutig für das großartige Talent von Tess Gerritsen .
Dieser Band verwebt zwei scheinbar unabhängige Geschichten in einem spannenden Fall. Für einzelne Kapitel taucht man immer wieder in die Erzählung aus der Sichtweise von Millie Jacobson ein. Sie macht zusammen mit ihrem Freund, 5 fremden Mitreisenden und 2 Guides eine Safari in der Wildnis von Botswana . Als der Fährtenleser plötzlich nicht mehr auffindbar ist, wird die Safari vom Traumurlaub zu einem Horrortrip, der seine Opfer fordert.

Der andere Teil des Buches handelt von Jane Rizzoli und Maura Isles die mal wieder in Höchstform sind. Ein Großwildjäger/ Tierpräparator wird in seinem Haus ermordet, aufgehängt und ausgeweidet. Es kommt zu immer mehr Morden, die scheinbar alle vom selben Täter ausgeübt wurden. Jane verfolgt die Spur des Killers über das ganze Land bis hin zu Afrika.
Jeder der die Rizzoli und Isles Reihe liebt, wird auch mit diesem Band sehr zufrieden sein. Ich freue mich schon Band 12 zu lesen

My second book by Tess Gerritsen and again I was not disappointed. Rizzoli and Isles are on the case again. This is the 11th book in the series. I do need to catch up on all the other books. Not sure if I had missed anything by not reading the previous books.

This case takes Rizzoli across state lines and out of the country. Who is murdering people by hanging them and gutting them? Similar to how hunters kill their prey. I found myself trying to figure out who the murderer was. I love when a book makes me think while reading and keeps me guessing until the end.
