Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE IT HURTS...

A killer is targeting lone women, torturing and murdering them. The precision of his methods leads Detective Jane Rizzoli to suspect he is medically trained.

Then Jane makes a terrifying discovery. Years ago a young woman was assaulted in a similar way. She escaped by shooting her attacker dead.

So why does it feel like he’s stalking her again?

What a page turner!

So gripping! While I was listening to it, I checked all doors and windows several times at night so terrified was I! Unputdownable! And really great narration, too. There is however no Dr Isles in this book and the Jane Rizzoli we meet is very different from the cool, beautiful, confident and popular Jane Rizzoli portraied on TV. I like the less perfect, more human version much more, I have to say.

Rather grizzly

Introducing Rizzoli - who is spiky and friendless. Got to this through enjoying the later novels - glad I decided to read the back catalogue.

Macabre but gripping, well-written and well-read.

I found this gripping enough to hold my attention, with good characterisation and excellent narration. It was rather heavy on surgical detail and very gruesome in places, but I'll read more in the series.

Not just your average procedural

Remarkably fewer generic clichés per page than most crime writers ....
Refreshingly ambiguous and ambivalent characterization.
Critiques patriarchy intelligently without needing to sanctify female characters.
A real pleasure.

Great story

Overall I thought the book was great. No shocking twists. This books jumps straight in to the nitty gritty no lead up just bam. This makes the characters a little hardcto relate to in the beginning. By 70 pages in though I was hooked and couldn't put it down

A cut above..

Dark, visceral, female perspective thriller. Similar to Patricia Cornwell at her best. Great narration, kept me intrigued & never bored. The medical realism is utterly believable as the author was a doctor, so if you're not too squeamish the details are really interesting!
