A brilliant suspenseful thriller with a clever dash of humour. Meanwhile Rizzoli’s mother Angela is busy keeping a watchful eye on her neighbours when she notices something strange about the new couple across the street.

Gripping, keeps you on your toes for sure! I felt for Angela as her concerns were pushed aside yet she felt so sure there was something wrong. You can feel yourself in the hands of a masterful storyteller as Gerritsen expertly takes the everyday and merges it with the macabre. I was on tenterhooks as she intricately wove the threads together until the full, shocking picture emerged.

Despite an absence of a number of years I found it easy to step back into Rizzoli and Isles’ world, the characters feeling like old friends. In the thirteenth instalment in the series Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are investigating the gruesome murder of Sofia Suarez. 5 starsAlthough this is part of a series l read and enjoyed this as a standalone. Her daughter and the police department dismiss her as a busybody, but Angela is sure there is something sinister going on and begins her own ameteur investigation, little realising the danger she is walking into…"That was the burden of working in homicide; you are always too late to change the victim's fate.

I’ve always loved how she fills this series with such strong, nuanced and familiar female characters that are richly drawn and easy to like. Another fantastic book! Sharply written, cleverly crafted and perfectly paced, this is suspense at its best. It did not disappoint, reminding me of why she is known as the Queen of Crime.

There are no immediate motives for the crime, but when Rizzoli discovers that Suarez was guarding a dangerous secret, everything changes. Great read.

Listen to Me by Tess GerritsenI give this book 4. While having read the other books in the series is recommended because they are so good, it isn’t necessary and you could also enjoy it as a standalone. "Maura could dissect a body, examine its tissues all the way down to the cellular level, but what the dead knew and saw and felt as the lights blinked out would remain a mystery.

So when I heard that Rizzoli and Isles were back after a five year break I was thrilled. I read a lot of thrillers but this author and book stood out.
