I needed to get away from non-fiction and needed a fast thriller to run through- I liked the characters and enjoyed the plot line. A few twists to keep it interesting.

I just finished reading The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen and as I thought, it was a fast-paced thriller. I like Gerritsen's medical knowledge and how she uses it in her crime novels. Though this book is considered the first Rizzoli and Isles book, Isles is not in it. It focuses on Detective Thomas Moore and Detective Jane Rizzoli. And, an interesting tidbit connecting this novel to that last novel I read, Abundance about Marie Antoinette, both books feature the Greek story of Iphigenia. Marie Antoinette's music teacher created a musical piece to tell the story of Iphigenia and the murdered in the book related the story of her to his murders.

Didn’t like this one although it had a lot of promise. I appreciate the premise of the story but I found the main characters annoying but did appreciate the in depth medical terminology. I felt like I was in an Episode of Grey’s Anatomy, it felt fast paced and very vivid. 
I did not like the ending, it felt rushed and the killer’s backstory was just a big NO for me. 

It was okay, but there was something about it that didn't draw me in and it certainly didn't keep me there. Love the medical stuff, very cool and fairly accurate, but overall, not compelling enough to keep my interest. Her writing is very descriptive and has a good flow. I certainly think she is talented in that regard, I just didn't like he story that much.
