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.

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!

Good but not great
This is a fairly standard murder mystery thriller. Serial killer outwits cops who don't follow some fairly obvious leads. One woman cop who is bullied but stands up for herself. Etc. Etc.
I will say that the characters in this had more flaws and moral depth than in your standard thriller and once the story got going 2-3 hours in it really picked up and by the end was quite compelling. I do think it could have been trimmed a bit by the editor but it was ok.
The narration was very quiet though. On all my devices I had to dial the volume up quite a few notches from what I would expect on normal audiobooks. This wasn't great when I switched from audiobook to car radio for the news.
Fair warning as well, in this book Rizzoli is a co-star and Isles doesn't yet exist. I haven't seen more than a few episodes of the TV series but I still found it a bit odd for the first book in a series called "Rizzoli & Isles".
