Another solid thriller. This book delivers on the promise to feature Jane Rizzoli as the main character and introduces Maura Isles as the medical examiner. There's a lot more depth to Rizzoli this time around and an interesting addition in the form of Gabriel Dean, an FBI agent that's helping on the new case.
Description from Amazon:
Boston detective Jane Rizzoli hasn't completely recovered from the near-death experience at the hands of a serial killer (The Surgeon) that left her scarred and scared, but that doesn't keep her from going after a copycat murderer whose modus operandi is disturbingly familiar. Warren Hoyt may still be behind bars, but Jane thinks there's a connection between him and the man the police call the Dominator, based on the way this new fiend subdues and violates his victims before he kills them. Political interference from an FBI agent who seems to know more about the Dominator than anyone else only intensifies Jane's determination to solve the case. When Hoyt escapes from prison and teams up with his blood brother to take revenge on the policewoman who put him there, the pace of this truly frightening thriller picks up and drives the narrative to its violent conclusion. --Jane Adams
My review from LT:
Excellent read. The only thing is, its predictable. But i felt like i had to keep reading to find out who the killer was and why he was killing. Kind of like the Hannibal character but he didn't eat people of course.

A very enjoyable read. Entirely captivating and very realistic from the perspective of criminal insight. As ever, some of the best writing that I've come to expect in crime and thrillers comea from Tess Gerritsen. She doesn't seem to disappoint.
I loooove this book! It was so exciting and thrilling! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!
I liked this one better than the first book. It took me a bit to finish due to life circumstances. I will continue this series and read other books by this author as well. I would recommend them to others who enjoy this genre.
