I really enjoy a good thriller series where I can just turn my brain off as I read, and so far this series has delivered. I appreciated that Isles was introduced in this one - I'm excited to see more of her and Rizzoli together down the road. This was a solid read that built on the story from the first book while still having some of its own plot. I am a bit confused about the first chapter of the book though. I get that it was for shock factor and seemed to be solved quickly but it felt so disconnected from the rest of the book that I just felt confused.
