Rating: 3.75 rounded up.
Die Again is a gripping crime thriller that I have very mixed feelings about but I've got to admit, I couldn't put it down. It's the eleventh book in the Rizzoli and Isles series by Tess Gerritsen and the one that introduced me to this author.
The book starts with two different storylines—one being a first person POV of Millie, the sole survivor of an African safari that took place six years ago in Botswana and two, a third person perspective of a murder investigation being conducted by detective Jane Rizzoli and ME Dr. Maura Isles in Boston. When links are established between unsolved murders that have taken place all across the country in the past decade and a clue that connects it to the Botswana safari case, Rizzoli and Isles are forced to track Millie down and ask for her help in capturing her worst nightmare.
When I first started to read this book, I was incredibly excited because it's gory, thrilling and fast-paced. Unfortunately, toward the end of the book, I was reminded of the time I was thirteen and I'd decided to read a Secret Seven book for old times sake and had ended up being so frustrated with the story because it was obvious who the culprit was. I had a similar experience with this one which is why I cannot give it all four stars.
Having said that, I really enjoyed reading this one a lot because the writing is incredible, the characters are likeable and up until I figured the suspense out, the mystery is really gripping and exciting. So I'd definitely recommend this book and I look forward to reading Gerritsen's other works.
