The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen
4.0
So this picked up where the first one left off...
While I was reading the first book, I was thinking the whole time "okay where is this Dr. Isles? and why is she not present?"
So she makes "an appearance" in this book, but it's still not the same as the tv show on TNT called Rizzoli & Isles. Which was the whole reason I picked up this series to begin with.
Anyway, this book picked up with the Surgeon being captured in prison and Rizzoli still having nightmares about him.
There's a lot of secrecy in this book, and the whole suspense thing was not as enthralling as The Surgeon. Mind you, I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened and how it would be resolved.
Gerritsen's writing is beautifully crafted and I loved all the "medical speak" as she calls it, and the way she's able to get into the head of the killer so well. The way she describes his emotions, feelings, desires, and pleasures is not only creepy, but totally enthralling.
I'm glad to see that Rizzoli was able to open up a little bit more in this one, and she's not just a hardcore cop that she feels like she needs to be.
There wasn't as much about Moore or Catherine in this one, but they did make a small appearance, just to keep everything linked together.
I have the next two in the series ready for me to pick up, and I will probably start them right away. I see on here, goodreads.com, that the next few books have higher ratings. I hope they pick up, and that we move on to different cases.
The whole FBI agent love scene and the possibility that Jane will be a woman and be accepting of it, intrigues me a whole lot more. I wouldn't go as far as calling myself I full blown feminist, but being female and the position that she is in, is NOT THAT BAD as Jane likes to represent. She needs to take pride in her womanhood and embrace it. The second she does, I will love her more for it.
