******************************
This is the first Tess Gerritsen book I've read. Great pacing, good characters, vivid descriptions. Smart, taut, and gripping. Gave me enough to figure out some of the mystery and feel like I was a decent sleuth, but not so much to make me feel like I was way ahead of the detectives and have the book fall flat.
My biggest complaint is probably that it contains spoilers for at least one earlier book in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I happened to buy that book (THE SURGEON) at the same time as DIE AGAIN, and after liking DIE AGAIN so much, I wanted to jump into the other one right away. So, if you care about spoilers for past books, I'd say read the Rizzoli & Isles ones in sequence.
All in all, DIE AGAIN is a solid, well-written, very enjoyable mystery/thriller. Looking forward to reading more of Gerritsen's books soon.
