Die Again: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel by Tess GerritsenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Boston police Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are back.
The 11th book in Tess Gerritsen’s fantastic Rizzoli & Isles Series that grabs you from the first page….
In the slanting light of dawn I spot it, subtle as a watermark, pressed into the bare patch of dirt. Were it midday, when the African sun glares down hot and bright, I might have missed it entirely, but in early morning, even the faintest dips and depressions cast shadows, and as I emerge from our tent that lone footprint catches my eye. I crouch down beside it and feel a sudden chill when I realize that only a thin layer of canvas shielded us while we slept.
Jane & Maura are investigation a bizarre and sinister murder of a well-known game hunter and taxidermist, who has been left gutted and hanging in his home.
It soon becomes clear that his murder may be linked to the disappearance of six tourists in the Okavango Delta six years previously.
None of them have been seen again, except from one woman, who barely survived in the bush and who may be the only person who knows the killer, who may be continuing his killing spree in Boston.
Jane and her FBI husband travel to South Africa to persuade the lone survivor of the safari trip to help them identify the killer in Boston.
The settings are vividly written….you sense the danger of the African bush, you feel the menace that surrounds the safari group, the fear that the survivor feels.
The relationship between Jane & Maura– Jane, hot headed, smart tough and Maura, logical and clear headed - their differences are what makes them work so well. As Jane tells Maura…..
We both chose this work because we’re not sunshine-and-ponies kind of gals.’ ”
An intractably woven plot that switches from present day in Boston to six years ago in Botswana. The connection between the two narratives slowly unfolds with heart-pounding. Intense page turning that keeps you guessing until the very end.
Clever, action-packed filled with twists, turns and surprises until the last page!!!
