A review by bookfairy99
The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen

5.0

I enjoy the Rizzoli and Isles TV show, so I picked up this book thinking it would have a similar feel to the showI’ve been watching. It didn’t. Not at all! Rizzoli and Isles (the show) is light and a little fluffy… I call each episode a mini forensic chick flick, and I suppose I was expecting forensic chick lit from the novel. Instead I got a serious, intense crime thriller. Which was fabulous, but not at all what I expected. I was also very surprised to see there was no mention of Dr. Isles at all. She wasn’t a character in this novel, and for a series called “Rizzoli and Isles”, it really surprised me that she doesn’t even warrant a mention. Those are minor quibbles, though. I really enjoyed Gerritsen’s writing style, and the book hooked me from the beginning and kept me engaged until the last page. I’ll definitely be reading the next in this series.
