Genre: Police Procedural
Series: Rizzoli & Isles #9
This is one of those take-it-slow kind of series for me. With only a few books left in the series, I am parceling them out to delight in the layers and surprises that Tess Gerritsen offers.
Taking place in Chinatown, Det. Jane Rizzoli is called to a rooftop where a woman’s body is discovered with a slit throat and a missing hand. What is throwing them off are the animal hairs that are discovered. If that wasn’t strange enough, this woman is tied to a twenty-year-old murder/suicide and now it is up to Rizzoli and Boston P.D. to put together the story of the Red Phoenix restaurant, missing girls, a child’s bloody footprints, complex characters, and a story that has been too long in telling.
Though Maura Isles is present in this book, the two ladies seem to be on their separate trails and only bump into each other occasionally. That is not a drawback, but a realization that these two characters are their individual selves with their separate problems to solve. For me, there is no comparison between the books and the series. You will either love one or the other, but there is a definite separation between the two so be prepared when things don’t add up to what you think you already know.
