I am enjoying this series. This is the best one yet. If you've read the others and aren't sure, don't give up until you've read this one.

Click here to see my other reviews.Filled with secrets and mystery that is unraveling into a believable and realistic plot, but without all that gory stuff that is so popular.
This series is only getting better and better. I threw myself over this one right after I finished the third book and now I feel the need to throw myself over the fifth book to. That is how good this series has turned out for me. This is just another fantastic continuation in the "lives" of Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles and I'm in love. And wow what a plot. Filled with secrets and mystery that is unraveling into a believable and realistic plot, but without all that gory stuff that is so popular.
The story line is not at all like the ones in the TV series and it was perfect. You get to know new things about the characters that has been changed when writing the TV series and that made me even more attached. We also get to follow Isles the most of the time and even though I'm not as huge fan of the book Isles as I am for the TV Isles i enjoyed it immensely.
It is a real page turner. The ending took me by total surprise, fitting but not what I would have wanted. It only fueled my need for more and not surprisingly, I threw myself over the fifth book to. Damns this is good.

This is probably my favorite in this series so far. I really enjoyed all the twists, turns, and swerves that the case took. In true "is it a good mystery" fashion, I did not guess the ending in advance. That being said there was a part about the ending that irked me but it was still done well. The plot and pacing were fantastic. At no point did I think the story stalled or was unbelievable. We got more Isles in this story which is good because up to this point it has been mostly Rizzoli. I am hoping in the future the books are more balanced with both. They really are a good team together: both loving their jobs, being good at it, and being women in a male dominated field without it being a big issue.
I would highly recommend this book to fans of thrillers. I don't even think you really have to read them in order as you would only miss a few things and those are not part of the case.

Two nefarious plots overlap and one brings Maura’s dark lineage into the light.
This was a fast-paced plot and I enjoyed every minute of it!

When I read series like this, usually as the series continues the books are not as good. However this series is the exception, every book is better than the next. This was an absolutely fantastic book and I did not figure any of it out before the end. This is a truly wonderful series with wonderful characters written by a fantastic auther. The book was tense and very gripping. Once I got into it I could not put it down.
