Die Again: by Tess Gerritsen
4.0
This isn't the sort of book I normally read.
At all.
But my neighbours & good friends absolutely loved it, in spite of not normally being a fan of Tess Gerritsen's work & pressed this book on me.
In their opinion it wasn't necessary to read the earlier books in this series as they thought they were inferior to this one. I don't know if I agree with this, as there are a lot of mentions of previous events which help explain Jane & Maura's characters & motivations.
What I struggled with at the start was;
• The excessive foreshadowing of the This must have been mentioned six times, so the subsequent, gory discovery was no great surprise.
• The blood, gore & all round gruesomeness. I normally don't do violence (or horror, if it comes to that) & this book came very close to being a DNF at around 10%. But I decided to give the book till around 20% to engage me & I am very glad that I did.
The action was fast paced and the story of gruesome murders & disappearances on a safari in Botswana and the horrifying death of a taxidermist in Boston are intertwined. Or are they? *Evil Cackle.*
Lots of twists & turns so be alert while reading.
Recommended to those with a reasonably strong stomach.
