A review by spiderkitten
The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen

3.0

This was a quick read however I felt it still wasn't as good as it could have been. The story was good. But I still can't get over how dreadful the author makes her characters appear. In particular Rizzoli. I don't find her very likable and that is in part because of her issues at work. I mean, yes, I get that being a woman on the force and getting credit for her work is a daily struggle, and I understand how that is important to her characterization however I'm not sure why we need to be reminded every other sentence.

I also felt like the conclusion to this novel happened a bit too fast. The novel itself had a steady flow to it, but when I got to the last chapter and Hoyt was still on the loose, I actually started to wonder if this was going to be a "to be continued" novel. But no, the author wrapped it up in a small final chapter that felt rushed. I would have liked to see that part drawn out a bit more.

That said, this was a good read.
