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.

great performance of a good crime thriller
my first Tess Gerritson - a fast paced crime thriller with interesting personalities. A lot of very gruesome medical detail - not for the squeamish! - but the fallout of sexual assault sensitively managed. I would definitely listen to others. Extremely good performance from the narrator.

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.

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.

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".
