Das Buch hat mich selber sehr bewegt, liegt daran das es diesmal mit Eltern zu tun hat, die ihre Kinder verlieren.Ich war glücklich wieder ein Buch von Tess in den Fingern zu halten und es musste natürlich sofort gelesen werden.Die Geschichte fängt schon gut an, eine Touristentour durch Chinatown...
I love the show Rizzoli and Isles, so I thought I'd give the reason behind the show a chance. Now I get why they made a series based on these books. The characters are the same but with some differences.Anyway, this book started with a twist, and literally until the next to last page, I was surpr...
Chinatown in Boston is like its own world. A severed hand and the body that go with it are discovered. The trail to finding the killer is complicated and seems to link back to a massacre 19 years before.Tamm a new detective that was assigned to the case because of his Chinese background is seri...
This is the first (and will be the only) book I have read from this series. I am a big fan of the Rizzoli and Isles TV show but to me this book seemed kind of boring. The story seems to trudge along without either character playing a major role. Apart from lacking a central 'detective' (or two) ...
I'd say the writing is a cross between Kathy Reichs and George Pelecanos. The book itself is a great read, with wonderful insides to the Chinese culture, myths and legends. The story beautifully leads the reader into Boston's Chinatown, and moreover into China's fables and ghosts. Reading the akn...
REVIEW: LAST TO DIE by Tess GerritsenI had read some of Ms. Gerritsen' s earlier mysteries quite some years back. When I read DIE AGAIN a couple of days ago, I found it so engrossing I decided to read all I had missed. LAST TO DIE is slightly earlier (2012), and this one is definitely in the cat...
Last to die by Tess Gerritsen.Detective Rizzoli has been assigned to protect Teddy clock. A young boy whose family and later his foster family were both slaughtered. Traumatized by these horrific ordeals Teddy is sent to Evensong. This particular boarding school is for boys who were victims of vi...
This installment is a very engaging read. There is good pacing throughout the entire book and it builds nicely to a suspenseful conclusion. It's a little confusing with all of the attempted murders, the kids, their parents and their foster parents, along with the usual suspects -- and here Kindle...
I really enjoyed this book and found myself interested in topics I never knew I was interested in. It was a happy medium of not being too factual that it spoilt the 'story' of the characters. Tess has blended just the right amount of knowledge to keep the reader interested but not to overdo it so...
Esta é daquelas autoras que nunca me canso de ler... mais uma vez um livro fantástico, carregado de suspense e mistério.Uma história que gira em torno da Arqueologia, mumificação de cadáveres, museus, artefactos, etc... e mistério capaz de nos fazer roer as unhas e ficar acordados até altas horas...
Normally I really like Tess Gerritsen books but although there was a fair bit of suspense in the story, I didn't find it quite as riveting as some of her other stories. When a mummy is xrayed it is discovered to not be a mummy but a murder victim. A beautiful young archaeologist becomes the obs...
I really enjoyed the premise of this one, the Egyptology (which I am not usually into) with the mummified bodies was different than any mystery I have read to date. You can see the progression of Tess's storytelling as the series goes along, the writing just keeps getting better and better, ...
This is the first time I am reviewing a mystery novel so please forgive me if my review isn't that good.Okay, so this book was pretty good. I haven't read a mystery novel in years so I don't really have anything I can compare this with but it was full of suspense and there were scenes that made m...
This is by far my favorite Rizzoli and Isles book from Tess. I have read all of her books and this is THE BEST. This book takes you through a beautiful African safari and then a fantastic behind the scenes visit to the zoo! There is, as always, a murder to solve between the team of Rizzoli and...

Esta foi encontrada num dos portos de Boston, o corpo virado de costas para cima, movimentando-se ao sabor da água. As autoridades competentes ...
Being a fan of the hit TNT television show, Rizzoli & Isles, I felt drawn to the books that inspired the characters. Tess Gerritsen vividly brings Boston homicide detective, Jane Rizzoli, and medical examiner, Dr. Maura Isles, to life in the pages of this book. This is not the first book in the...
I liked this book in general but it was also disappointing. I absolutely loved The Surgeon, its plot, characters, pace, villain, emotions, the issues portrayed and its medical aspect. The Apprentice is not a bad book but compared to the first book in the series, it's a weaker installment, in my o...
Scroll down for the English version.Tecnicamente perfettoSono stata molto combattuta nel dare un voto a questo libro. Se da una parte è sicuramente migliore di molti altri ai quali avevo assegnato 4 stelle, non potevo non rilevare qualche piccola pecca. Ho deciso comunque di dargliene 5, perché i...

Did anyone ever warn you that sometimes you will reap what others sow? I’m not talking agriculture; this “Harvest” is within a medical thriller. This novel is a chilling, heart-pounding look into the world of transplant medicine. And especially a look into what is reaped when a system goes unthin...
I am a huge, self-confessed Tess Gerritsen fan. I love and adore her Rizzoli & Isles books (and the TV series which is totally different from the books, but the character interactions are great. The mysteries...not so much). So, I assumed that I would like Bloodstream. I assumed that I would ...

Kehilangan seseorang yang kita cintai, apalagi rumah tangga baru dibina selama 2 bulan, tentunya ranjang pengantin masih hangat-hangatny...
This is one of Gerritsen's earlier novels, before she became an acclaimed crime writer so it was interesting to see how she started out, especially because I'm so used to her crime novels. Before she was a crime thriller writer, she was a romantic thriller writer, that is, her novels were very mu...
NEVER SAY DIE Twenty years after her father's plane crashed, Willy Jane Maitland travels to Asia to track his final moves. She recognizes the danger, but her search for the truth is the only thing that matters. Former army officer Guy Barnard knows the mystical land so unfamiliar to Willy--and Wi...
O Tess Gerritsen usłyszałam przypadkiem kilka lat temu, gdy w malutkiej księgarni w tunelu Dworca Centralnego w Warszawie postanowiłam kupić jakąś książkę na podróż powrotną do domu. Pierwszy raz w życiu wtedy poprosiłam o pomoc w wyborze sprzedawcę i zdecydowałam się zaryzykować. Do dziś jestem ...

I just finished reading The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen. As I thought about writing a review of the book I decided to mention where I had read an interview with her--the one that led me to select this book to read. As happens more and more often, I couldn’t locate the darn magazine or remembe...
He pulled into a climb, instinctively opting for the safety of altitude. As the misty mountains dropped away beneath them, a new round of tracers streaked past, splattering the cockpit with flak."Damn it, Kozy. You're bad luck," Maitland muttered to his copilot. "Seems like every time we go up to...
Frost, standing in the corner, rolled his eyes.“Funny,” said Jane. “You look human to me.”“That’s just on a superficial level. But if you examine my cells, if you look at them under a microscope, you’ll see that I’m different. Since I was just a kid, I’ve known that I wasn’t like everyone else. I...
He was right on both counts. Graffam wore a silk suit, a tie in blinding red paisley and a gold pinkie ring. The office, like the man, was all flash, little substance: plush carpet, spanking new leather chairs, but no secretary, no books on the shelves, no papers on the desk. The wall had only on...
Miss Lila St. John regarded her pet with a mixture of affection and pity. Sir Oscar Henry San Angelo III, otherwise known as Ozzie, was a rare breed known as a Portuguese Water Dog. Miss St. John was not quite clear as to the attributes of this particular breed. She suspected it was some sort of ...
“I knew the police would want to talk to me someday,” he said. “So Scanlon did it again. Didn’t he?”“We believe so,” said Jane.“A monster like that, he doesn’t just call it quits one day. He keeps going and going, cutting down lives.” Harry stepped aside to let them enter. “Come in, Detectives. T...
Time to go for that home run. Guy, sprawled behind a boulder, scouted out the next twenty yards to the gun. His only cover would be a few bushes and, midway, a pathetic excuse for a tree. He could see the AK-47’s barrel extending over the rock ledge, so close, he could pra...
She placed that toy car on the second step, where I’d be sure to slip on it. Then she made noises in the kitchen, to wake me up and draw me downstairs. She wanted this to happen.” My husband is trying his best to maintain a neutral expression. He sits by our bed, where I l...
"To tell you the truth, Harper, it's not high on my list of priorities."A light was burning in the living room. As Toby pulled into the driveway next to Jane Nolan's Saab, she saw the warm glow through the curtains, saw the silhouette of a woman standing in the window. It was a reassuring sight, ...
Over here, Billy!” The boy looked around in confusion, searching the shadows for whoever had just whispered his name. A black dog capered at his feet. Suddenly it gave an excited bark and came trotting toward Norris, who was crouched behind a stack of barrels. The mutt, at least, thought no ill o...

Yet his fingers are still wrapped around the rifle in his lap, as if the weapon is part of his body, an extension of his limbs. All evening the others have been watching him, and I know Richard’s tempted to wrestle control of that gun, but even a half-asleep Johnny is too formidable to tangle wit...
“Look at her, the poor thing,” Beryl said and sighed. “She hasn’t been run nearly enough, and I think she’s going quite insane. You’ll have to exercise her for me.” “Me? On the back of that…that maniac?” Jordan snorted. “I’m much too fond of my own neck.” Beryl hobbled over to the stall on her cr...

When disaster strikes, you can usually look back and pinpoint exactly where it starts to unravel, where one unlucky event sets off the sequence leading inevitably to disaster. As the saying goes, For want of a nail, the shoe was lost, and it’s true; the smallest detail, overlooked, can doom a hor...
She hadn’t had a moment to worry about the past or the Israelis on the fourth floor, though, apparently word of the incident had spread like a plague through the hospital. Lunch had come and gone in a flash of sutures and EKGs. The day after the full moon was proving to be worse than the day befo...
