The Rizzoli & Isles books may be my new favourite mystery/thriller series. The characters are well-written, the plots are interesting and mostly come together (I was questioning how some things were going to be relevant to the plot, but eventually Gerritsen pieced it all together), and everything is really fast-paced. This one was particularly creepy and honestly kind of disturbing at times, which was perfect. I'm really glad there are a bunch of books left in this series for me to read!

I am in love the with Jane Rizzoli series, as much as I love the show. I can’t wait to continue the series through 2012 and it just might be my go-to series this coming year, especially with the new Jane Rizzoli Challenge.

In The Sinner, Jane finds herself searching for a killer who targeted a convent and two nuns. While it’s hard to imagine who could do such a thing in a holy and sacred location, Jane uses everything she can to find the true killer, even talking to a young witness.

Jane and Maura are closer than even and drawn to the shock of who could commit such a crime.
