A brilliant thriller with a topic we cannot forget about.

Done with the fifth book and even though I did not find it as good as the third and fourth one, it was still a great book. The plot line, even though it was published back in 2005, is still relevant to this day and it's terrible to think how true it actually is. A brilliant thriller with a topic we cannot forget about. Human trafficking is a multibillion dollar industry and there is a lot of sick and powerful people out there who defends it. I'm not turning this review to a political debate, but it is disgusting to know that there is people out there who do and enjoy this is making me sick.

The characters feel a lot more stable and grounded which gives the book a feel of completion. It is warm, nice and captivating in a way where it is hard to put it down. I did not find it just as good as the last two due to some parts I feel went by too fast. But other than that, this is still a great series I want to read more from. It's so good and to think that this one is almost 15 years old is quite impressive when you think about how far the technology have gone forward in those few years. Just imagine what is to come when continuing and reading the next 7 books.

15/11: started reading this morning, first impression of my very Gerritsen book: fast paced, page turner! Never watch the tv series (Rizolli & Isles), aired on Net5. Considering watching it to compare with the book

finally finished the book, really liked it, this won't be my last Gerritsen. just recognized the quote from Harlan Coben on the cover

I’ve been going into these books blind to the plot and this one hit me upside the head with the dark brutality that is the sex trade and slavery.

The author expertly weaves Rizzoli’s struggles with her identity as a cop and a mother within the horrific crimes the team is facing in this story.

I had a hard time putting this down and was enthralled by the story.

*Listened to the audiobook and the narrator is fantastic.
