It was a good audio book. And in general the book was quite thrilling.
I definitely didn't who it was until the end.
I do think it has some plot holes or stuff that just happens and then never gets talk about again.

I kept guessing/doubting who the perp was until the end. Thank you Tess Gerritsen!

As usual from a novel by Dr. Gerritsen, I learned a lot of stuff and solidified my hate for cats hahaha.
The only thing that bothered me was how it seemed like Maura and Jane switched personalities a bit there. Also, I could feel a bit of the personalities of the TV series version seeping in to the book version of Jane and Maura which was rather uncomfortable since they are completely different! I don't want the book versions to become like the TV versions. It seems like the TV series may be influencing the author a bit. I really really hope this doesn't continue like this.

I still love how Dr. Gerritsen switches point of views and cleanly ties them up together as the story progresses. I feel like it keeps things fast paced and not boring with too many explanations.

The best parts are the Botswana POV and with writing like that made me want to read her up coming book that's not of the Rizzoli and Isles series even more!

I received a copy of this book as a first reads giveaway. It had been a while since I read a Rizzoli and Isles book but I was not disappointed. I finished this book in 2 sittings the story is captivating and I found myself wanting to read on and on. I particularly like the fact that this story is set in two different places the mysteries run side by side and both are strong stories. I would recommend this book to any crime fiction fan.

Well, I never want to go on an African safari trip after reading this book. As with all Rizzoli & Isles books, I was captivated from the very beginning and couldn't put Die Again down. I enjoyed the duel stories and liked that the Botswana tale was clearly written and easy to follow (not always the case with this series).

I could do without the constant mention of Warren Hoyt and Daniel Brophy - it's hard to tell how much time has passed for the women between novels, but there has to be more Gerritsen can do to progress their lives.
