Die Again

Title: Die Again
Author: Tess Gerritsen
Published: December 30th 2014 by Ballantine Books
Format: Hardcover, 330 pages
Genre: Police Procedural
Series: Rizzoli & Isles #11

Continuing my unhurried process through the Rizzoli and Isles series, for me, book eleven is slower than usual as I trudged through the ongoings of the detective and medical examiner. Beginning with the disembowelment of Leon Gott, a renowned taxidermist, and interweaving a tale of six years prior where a Botswana safari tour, that included Gott’s son, ended with only one female survivor. Boston PD must now find the evidence which links the two events and identifies a predator that is striking again.

Detective Jane Rizzoli and Medical Examiner Maura Isles of the books are not the same as those portrayed on television. Their backstories are slightly different, and though the camaraderie is the same, there truly is no comparison between the two. The reader will need to decide, like most adaptations, which they prefer.

As this series is coming to an end, with one final book,’ I Know a Secret”, I am curious to see how Tess Gerritsen will tie up this series and to see where it will conclude.
