Die Again, the eleventh in the Rizzoli and Isles series, is, by far, my favourite novel in the entire Rizzoli and Isles series. Rizzoli is on the case after a big game hunter is found dead in his apartment, alone with the body of a snow leopard that he had been commissioned to stuff. Medical examiner, Maura Isles, connects the case to a number of seemingly unrelated deaths where the victims have been found hanging upside down, the same way a snow leopard would hang their prey. Into the world of big cats, Rizzoli and Isles find themselves connecting their trail to a sole survivor of a tragic trip to Botswana to find out who, or what, is behind these deaths.
The opening of this one was amazing. I was completely engaged right from the start. It was so completely different from other works in the series, and really different from anything I have read recently. My favourite parts of this novel were the sections of the safari and I could have read those chapters as a book by themselves. I absolutely loved it.
Like the other books in the series, this book could be read as a standalone but I absolutely recommend the series in their entirety. When I read Rizzoli and Isles , they end up feeling like old friends, catching up over a coffee, as I settle down easily into their narrative. I love reading what they have been up to and how their personal characters are developing.
Another smash hit for me by Gerritsen.

wieder super geschrieben! der Mörder wurde erst in den letzten 20 Seiten gefasst aber trotzdem war das Buch nicht langweilig! Zum Schluss konnte ich es nicht mehr aus den Händen legen!!
4 stars | It was so nice to see these characters again! I don't know if I don't remember because it's been ages since I last read a Rizzoli and Isles mystery, but Maura wasn't as much part of this book?? I would've liked more scenes between her and Jane (LOL - it's never enough). and my brain had blessedly forgotten that Jane is actually MARRIED to Gabriel Dean in the books. URGH. Oh well. The investigation was pretty intriguing and kept me guessing who the killer was til the end. I can't believe there's only one more book in this series. I hope the whole thing with Maura's birth mother will be wrapped up and Maura can finally move on.
Solid 4.5 stars. Lots of twists and turns. I love a good Rizzoli & Isles book, though I've been watching the TV show more than reading the books lately, and there are a few discrepancies between the two. It took a while to figure out how the situation in Botswana related to the situations in the U.S., but it made sense eventually. Good book.
I've not read all of Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles but Die Again was a reminder that I need to do so. Quite gory at times, you really don't want to eat at the same time, but there is plenty of drama also. I preferred the sections of the book that were set in Botswana, these for me were more interesting. There are some references to events that happened in the previous novels but this didn't stop me enjoying the read. I do prefer though to read books in order.
I plan on reading the books I have missed in the near future.

Een geweldige thriller van Gerritsen die ik in één dag uitgelezen heb. Twee verhaallijnen die geniaal met elkaar verweven blijken te zijn (als je de toevalligheden even weg denkt). Een deel van het verhaal speelt zich af in een interessante omgeving, namelijk Afrika. Weer een boek vol doden, vragen die beantwoord worden en een goed plot!
