The Rizzoli & Isles books may be my new favourite mystery/thriller series. The characters are well-written, the plots are interesting and mostly come together (I was questioning how some things were going to be relevant to the plot, but eventually Gerritsen pieced it all together), and everything is really fast-paced. This one was particularly creepy and honestly kind of disturbing at times, which was perfect. I'm really glad there are a bunch of books left in this series for me to read!

Another great book in the Rizzoli and Isle series! The mystery was well done and not at all predictable. Both Rizzoli and Isles are strong female characters and it's exciting going along with them solving different cases. There wasn't too much side story besides Jane and Maura's romantic relationships which in Maura's case pertained to the storyline while Jane aided in her character development and saw a different side to her than the cop who has to keep up with all the guys she works with.

Tess Gerritsen is such an brilliant writer! I forgot how much I love this book, The Sinner! And holy shit it is amazing, twisted, gruesome, and oddly realistic in many ways.
