Quite the unnerving read once again, and I loved every page of it!
I find it just delightfully chilling how her chapters coming from Hoyt's point of view are so scary and give readers a glimpse of his mind, and I can't wait to read on. I liked reading about Jane's own journey and growth while she deals with all that is chaotic around her, and I look forward to continuing on to see where it goes from here with the new people in her life.
There were a few times all the crime scene test lingo had me lost, but I do appreciate the attention to detail it takes to put those scenes together.

Lepszy niż pierwsza część. Szybciutkie czytadło. Chyba końćówka zbyt mało emocjonunąca. Mam lekki problem, z Tess. Obaczymy.
My husband and I listened to this one together and we really enjoyed it! We are looking forward to reading more from Tess!
Adictivo desde la primera página. La imagen que tenía de Rizzoli no era muy buena tras leer el cuarto libro de la serie, pero este libro me ha ayudado a saber más de ella, entender como es y como se muestra.
El misterioso Dean del FBI. Su compañero Barry Frost, su otro compañero por poco tiempo Korzac. Conocemos un poco más sobre la forense Maura Isles y entrevemos la futura colaboración entre las dos.
Así como el autor de sus pesadillas, el psicópata del libro anterior. Pero ahora no esta solo. Tiene a un compañero de aventuras. Un hermano que disfruta con las mismas cosas, la caza, el infligir miedo y dolor. Pero el dominador lleva mucho tiempo en esto, así que el Cirujano se convertirá en su aprendiz.
Deseando leer el siguiente libro.
Este libro me sirve para la premisa de "Asesino serial" dentro del reto del #cozyween de @evitalecturitas

I didn't like this book. Spoilers will follow, but this book does not even merit a spoiler cut, it was so disappointing.
Gerritsen's writing continued to be not quite as good as I wanted it, her lingering, sexualized descriptions of murder and violence disturbed me enough to pull me out of the narrative, and the overall arch of her story ended in a way that, once again, made it impossible to guess the unsub before her big reveal.
There was also a tasteless, out-of-place sex scene that apparently made Rizzoli magically fall in love with Agent Dean. I was not impressed.
And, okay, look. There are certain rules when you write a mystery, okay? One of them is that your unsub has to have a connection of some kind to another character in the story. This book completely sets up Agent Dean with all the classic markers that point to him as a suspect. All of them. I am not kidding, literally everything he did from the moment he showed up pointed to his being the Dominator. But instead the Dominator was some dude we'd never even heard of who drove a limo. What even???? I am all for red herrings and throwing readers off the scent and shit, but seriously? This is twice now where the conclusion to her novel has made no sense without either privileged knowledge not given to the reader, or a magical window into the author's brain.
I'm just so done with Gerritsen, and with Rizzoli and Isles. I can't actually deal with this level of horribly bad mystery novels. Nope, done, no more.
