verosnotebook 's review for:
The Surgeon
by Tess Gerritsen
3.75*
Since I enjoyed the Rizzoli and Isles tv series, I thought I would try the books that started it all. Well, it was different, both in terms of the tone and characters. Maura for instance is not present in this title, appearing in the second, and Jane was hard to recognise. The basis was there however and there is development, as can be seen in the following instalments (have just finished the 3rd one).
These novels are crime thrillers and dish out a lot of violence, particularly aimed at women. It’s been a long time since I’ve read this type of story, and this one turned out to be weirdly addictive, even considering all the gruesome details. Still, it is very dark, especially due to the nature of the crimes. Be forewarned! I shall carry on but making sure of counterbalancing all that violence with ‘lighter' reads.
