4 stars It was so nice to see these characters again! I don't know if I don't remember because it's been ages since I last read a Rizzoli and Isles mystery, but Maura wasn't as much part of this book?? I would've liked more scenes between her and Jane (LOL - it's never enough). and my brain had blessedly forgotten that Jane is actually MARRIED to Gabriel Dean in the books. URGH. Oh well. The investigation was pretty intriguing and kept me guessing who the killer was til the end. I can't believe there's only one more book in this series. I hope the whole thing with Maura's birth mother will be wrapped up and Maura can finally move on.
Another book I just devoured in a day.
Couldn't put it down.
Love the Rizzoli & Isles series and this one is riveting.
Plenty of red herrings and twists to keep me guessing until the end.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
I hadn't read a Rizzoli and Isles book in a bit. I was starting to not like how Tess Gerritsen was writing Maura. I liked the character well enough but at times I was also disconnecting from the character. However,maybe time away helped because I liked the Rizzoli and Isles characters as much as I did when I first started reading this series.
I liked the double story of both Boston and Botswana. I actually enjoyed the safari gone wrong part a little more. Overall good mystery. I enjoyed the big cat angle too. A little graphic in the dead body description, as a warning for those who really don't like messy murder scenes. I personally didn't mind,but I read splatter punk a lot so gruesome details don't bother me.
Good mystery and can be mostly read as a stand alone exception of a few Jane and Maura sections.
Excellent read. Mostly set in Boston, but there are a series of flashbacks to Africa, where the story really began on a safari in Botswana.
This is gripping, with a clever killer and as many possible suspects as there are bodies. It kept me guessing to the final few chapters.
