absolutely phenomenal book! i chose it from a very long list of possible books to read for the final project for my summer forensic science class (based on the synopsis), and am so glad i did. the plot is so captivating and makes the book a very enticing read once you learn a bit about the characters and the crime--it took me 3 or so days to read the first 50 pages but only 1 and 1/2 to read the last 300. i'd definitely recommend it!

Too much medical jargon when perhaps it wasn't needed. Real didn't like the way the author portrays Jane Rizzoli in the book. The series did a much better job of it. Most of the men here suck. I'll be reading the next one because 1) I want to see how Jane's character develops in the next book and 2) I'm curious to see if Maura's character will be introduced in the next book and/or how the two women's dynamic will be like iwhen she enters this series.

holy crap. I checked out this book from my library after the StoryGraph recommended it and I’m so glad they did. I typically have a difficult time reading books about serial rapists &killer combos, but Gerritsen does such a good job of balancing scary, suspenseful moments with a budding romance and potential love triangle between

Rizzolli, Moore, and Catherine

. The book kept me on the edge of my seat. I would not recommend this book if you do not want to read stories about law enforcement.
