review 1: A competent thriller/murder mystery. An enjoyable, fast-paced read. But ... this is the kind of book I'll probably forget completely in a month or two. I still remember Gerritsen's early novels, especially "Gravity", which were full of intriguing medical and scientific ideas that...

review 1: Nice novel by Tess Gerritsen, another Rizzoli & Isles story. The author's Chinese background and the extensive research she must have done, made the story quite credible. She gives her readers a great introduction in the Chinese culture and legends, especially the martial art...

review 1: This is not bad. It's well written and easy to read. The story is interesting with various good threads, although at times it did go into 'fact' mode, explaining in detail some facts that the author has obviously researched and needs to show that they have. There are various twis...
