I picked this up on a whim and quickly got in to it. I really enjoyed the writing. The plot is split between one of the victims and Rizzoli & Isles. I was equally invested in both stories. I will definitely be reading more in this series.

This fabulous book has a back and forth timeline, which not at all confusing allows for the fear of the victim to really be established alongside the ever popular Rizzoli and Isles story. Throw in some really visual African imagery and you’ve got yourself a winner
4.5 rounded up. I'm honestly not sure if these are really good or if they're just hitting my current sweet spot but the whole series has really been working for me. I like the characters, pacing, and while I've been able to predict elements of the mysteries, they're presented well enough that I don't care if I've figured it out.

Excellent thriller.
Enjoyed the focus on the survivor, not just on Rizzoli and isles. The scenes in the Bush are truly gripping.

Just a mediocre read, if it wasn't part of a series I love, I wouldnt of finished it. First we start off in Africa and then we flip back to Boston in the next chapter. This is how most of the book goes, taking forever to make a connection.
I was even on Crowe side this time, and he usually rubs me the wrong way. Kept asking where was the connection between the current murder, the body found in the trap and hunters across the world going missing.
Well it the last 50 pages of the book it is all made to connect and not really well either

The show is ending, and now I've read the last book available in the series. So all I can do is hope that Gerritsen keeps writing Rizzoli & Isles novels. I still love these characters, and the weird twists and turns their crime thrillers take.
I really enjoyed this book! I loved the chance of scenery between Boston and Africa. It was done seamlessly and it was not confusing. I was kept guessing right to the very end and just when I think I had it figured out, Gerritsen threw a curveball. Definite recommend if you are a fan of mysteries.
Why did I start with #11 in this series you may ask? Because it was free to read from the library app for a short time period. I didn’t need to read earlier books to understand this story, but it did spoil some things that happened in earlier books. I’m not too annoyed about that though. I think i’d still be able to pick up earlier books and enjoy them.
This was a clever book, I guessed 1 of the plot twists but didn’t catch on to others. I read it in a day and a half and had lots of fun. 4 stars!
