Really enjoyable book. I thought I knew where it was going a few times, but then most of the times I was wrong. However, there are some details that are quite graphic, like the way these women were tortured and raped, keep this in mind if you want to pick up the book.

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.
