I loved this book .... that simple!

This is another of my ventures into the books that have been sitting on my bookshelf for many years, unread, and in this instance, rather unnoticed. But boy oh boy, am I glad that I decided to pick this one up, for it was such a great read. Thrilling, exciting, captivating - un..put..down..able!

I'm not one for thrillers, for the most part, albeit I did used to be, but I think I may be heading back in that direction following this one. Gerritsen uses expert knowledge of the human anatomy (I assume a background in the medical profession, if not, then at least some level of education in it) in weaving the tale of a depraved killer intent on chasing down its prey. Without wanting to give too much of the storyline away (for where would the fun of the read be if I did that) I can say that, personally, I found Gerritsen's character development to be strong, her use of medical knowledge was expertly used to provide both graphic visualisation and explanation to the lay person, and her storytelling was both detailed but swift - there is no room in this one to get bored by a slow burn tale.

Gerritsen has made this book lover, fall back in love with the thriller - and without doubt I will be delving into her other books just as once as I have finished those on the bookshelf!
