The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen
3.0
Ah. I'm actually really disappointed in this.
I will not reveal any spoilers here but I'm actually just disappointed with the ending. We get a fantastic chase a really thrilling up and down cat and mouse chase and then bam its all done in about 4 pages. I get it the main part wouldn't take for ever Rizzoli is either dead or not and she is obviously going to live because the series is named after her. Thats not a spoiler that is an uh duh moment.
I enjoyed the cat and mouse and the whole who was behind the serial killings this time my mind was boggling at who it could have been. Who was hunting Rizzoli this time, is it the old foe or a new one. I think once you understand the title becomes very apt and it makes a lot of sense. This isn't a murder mystery to me, its a murder crime but I don't see the mystery. The only mystery is who did it and the nature of this book the who did it to me becomes very unimportant and an almost side note. That may be a bit too revealing. Read into it what you want..
I did like seeing more of Isles and you see a more vulnerable but the same hard ass Rizzoli, I was angry for her at points and angry at her in other points. Shes the perfect imperfection. I enjoy the fact she has a meltdown but is also very put together and seems to be unwilling to admit when she is in danger because shes a woman and wants to be one of the guys.
I probably will continue onto this series just because the writing is nice and I like the story line.
