Die Again by Tess Gerritsen
4.0
4.5 stars.
I have been reading this series for three years, since I started watching the tv series. The books and the series are different, but I enjoy both. This book starts out with a grisly murder. Detectives Rizzoli and Frost are called to scene of an especially gruesome murder. The dead man, Leon Gott, is found hanging from the ceiling. He has been eviscerated and hung up like a hunter hangs a deer. ME Maura Isles is also called to the scene. Dr. Isles ultimately plays a significant role in tying this murder to other murders and helps track down a serial killer.
There are two stories in this book which do connect. One story takes place in Botswana, with a group of tourists on a wilderness safari. Members of the group are being murdered, one by one. The second is the murders in the U.S.
Leon Gott had 2 cats and 1 dog. The dog is adopted by a neighbor. One of the cats stays hidden in the dead man's house, with Frost leaving food for it. The second cat is adopted by Maura. This leads to some funny lines for cat lovers/haters.
Some cat quotes:
Maura--"Could anyone truly trust a cat?"
Rizzoli to Frost, discussing the second cat: " Why don't you adopt it?"
Frost: "I'm a guy."
Erin Volchko, Boston PD lab tech: "A single cat sheds hundreds of thousands of cat hairs in a year."
Maura, musing about the cat turning up his nose at ordinary cat food and ignoring her after he had rubbed against and purred and followed her at the crime scene: "It was the universal lament of disappointed wives: He charmed me, wooed me, and now I'm his maid."
This book is a real page turner. I read it in 3 days. A well done mystery with enough twists and turns that left me guessing until almost the end.
I purchased this book.
