First Thought When Finished: I love Rizzoli & Isles! This was a great case and the school was a fantastic twist!
My Thoughts on the Case: Last to Die served up my favorite kind of Rizzoli & Isles case, the ones that involve everyone on an equal scale. There was plenty of nose to the ground police work done and enough forensics to keep you guessing. The case itself was very interesting and disturbing. I will warn you that the case(s) involved children or more accurately teenagers. Each of the teenagers in Last to Die had survived an earlier incident in which their entire families had been killed. Now they are all going to the same "very special" school and it appears that someone is after them. The case is chilling at times and emotionally enduring. The Jackals (which you will just have to read to find out whom I am referring too) are going to win you over. They were my favorite part!
My Thoughts on the Characters: Last to Die finally brought Rizzoli and Isles closer to being BFFs again. I was thrilled to see all the characters that I have grown to love over the series have their time to shine. The addition of the Jackals was a great addition and I hope they are in future books. Tess Gerritsen writes really good characters and fans of the series won't be disappointed in Last to Die.
Audio Thoughts: Narrated by Tanya Eby with a running time of 10 hrs and 28 mins this is one of my favorite series on audio. I have listened to each of them through the narration and haven't been disappointed once. The pacing and characterization is spot-on.
Final Thoughts: Fans of the Rizzoli and Isles series will not want to miss this latest addition.
