I enjoyed this book, more than any of the others. It was a nice uncomplicated good read.

This is my favorite Rizzoli and Isles novel (so far)! ... And it is not because of my Rizzles-tinted glasses... Gerritsen delivers on everything she has promised for this series and pushes it even further to deliver a crime thriller that was gripping, heart-wrenching, and thought-provoking from beginning to end. The romance in this book actually feels warranted by the end and adds a dimension to the story that drives the twist reveal home. One of my least favorite aspects of The Surgeon and The Apprentice was the killer's inner monologue and it has been replaced this time with the victim's experience which definitely impacted my overall feelings towards this novel. In addition, Gerritsen continues to inject her story with feminist themes that feel entirely modern and are critically important for a crime series following two women. I cannot WAIT to pick up the fifth novel!

This gets four stars for the ending alone. Instead of the usual ending stories like these have where the cops burst in at the last second to save a victim, the victim rescued themselves. It was such a great moment for Mattie as she went from a housewife whose husband is a complete jerk but refuses to acknowledge it to a woman who took control of the situation and saved herself and her unborn baby by any means necessary. The story was original and much like the other books so far in the Rizzoli and Isle series, I did not see the outcome coming. The author gives nothing away as she is unfolding the mystery and I was clueless as to who the murderers were. Once again very excited to continue this series.

Heel sterk geschreven. Wat ik miste was een ultieme plottwist. Ben als lezer nergens op het verkeerde been gezet, kreeg gewoon steeds nieuwe stukjes informatie.
