The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen

2.0

I liked the first Rizzoli and Isles book alright, which is what led me to reading this second one. I was a little underwhelmed and have started siding with some of the other opinions of goodreads reviewers. By the second book, the ever present mindset of Rizzoli that she has to be tough and absolutely not feminine around her fellow cops began to get on my nerves. Maybe it's because I saw the TV show first and enjoyed the television Rizzoli's rough edges softened with some good humor. Or maybe it's just a theme/character attribute that's truly far too exaggerated. It kind of ruined the story. Speaking of which, this story, again, had very little of Isles in it. Just mildly confusing.
