General Thoughts: Another Tess Gerritsen book for Spooky Reviews.
Honestly, she is one thriller writer that I can wholeheartedly recommend. I've read pretty much all of the Rizzoli and Isles books and I've loved all of them. They are all so good!
There is also a TV show based on these books, but the TV show is a lot more warm and fuzzy (like TV shows often are) but it's still pretty good. Do give it a watch if you like crime shows.
Things I Liked:
1. The writing as always was brilliant. Like I was pulled into this book in the first paragraph and didn't want to put it down.
2. The thing I love about this book and this series of books in general is that it tackles some very dark minds. You see the workings of a messed up and somewhat sociopathic minds. You get to see the world and the story from their perspective too.
3. I personally, love books that are rooted in a mystery from the past. Old sins casting long shadows and all that. This book has one of those too and I loved finding out more about it and how it related to the brutal killings in the present.
4. This is definitely one of those books that you don't want to put down. I read way into the night and didn't want to stop. This book will suck you in.
5. The old case- a sensational, headline grabbing case from over 20 years ago is one that I LOVED reading about. Kinda based on real life stories/ cases (ones I had actually studied in Social Psychology) it made for really interesting reading and I think you'll like it too.
6. The main killer reveal did take me by surprise. You are led to believe it is one person but the real twist is pretty good.
Rating: 4/5
I really, really loved this book and I highly recommend it.
The good thing about this series of books is that you don't really need to read all of the previous books to read the newest release. I mean there are certain things- about the regular characters and their lives that progress through the series, but it doesn't take away from enjoying the book.
