A real page turner, despite the content being stomach-churning. Lots of cliches even though it is written by a woman but a very clever plot with lots of drip-feeding and unexpected twists. I’d read another by this author, although I was a little irritated by her pigeon-holing of women, and the profiling of men made me feel rather sad.

Gerritsen knows how to write a page turner, and this is one of them. Could barely put it down.

What can I say - I'm a sucker for crime thrillers set in Boston.

A little more graphic than I normally would like. But I'll continue with the rest of Tess Gerritsen's books.

What a good mystery. I had to tell my mom not to read it though due to the graphic nature of the crimes.
