I picked this book up recently right after reading (and loving) "The Silent Girl" and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. The writing is tight, extremely graphic and filled with tension. It really holds your attention. I felt much the same way about "The Silent Girl".

It wasn't until I finished the book that I learned it was part of a series. This book is Book #1 in a series of at least seven. I now intend to start with Book #2 and go from there. I've also learned that this series is a part of a television program with weekly episodes that I knew nothing about, Rissoli and Isles, but one that has many fans.

I'd read at least one or two books by Tess Gerritsen a number of years ago and had forgotten how terrific an author she is. I would positively recommend her writing. She is a brilliant story teller and her medical background makes for fantastic additions to her stories.
