Gravity - Tess Gerritsen

The Mephisto Club - Tess Gerritsen

One of my more recent discoveries, I first came across her work late last year, is Tess Geritsen and, though I was a bit sceptical at first, over the course of her novels featuring Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, this writer has managed to win me over into becoming one of her biggest fans! With each successive book the plots get tighter, the action and suspense more intense and the characters slowly start to evolve as we get to know more about their private lives away from the job! Maura Isles is fighting her attraction to Priest, Father Brody, whilst Rizzoli attempts to come to terms with the pressures of being a mum. They are brought together ...

The Mephisto Club - Tess Gerritsen

In recent times Gerritsen's books have become somewhat longer and this is no exception, at 473 pages long. But I found that reading it I was surprised to reach the end since it was a really gripping storyline, written with Gerritsens usual eye for the detail in both the sections dealing with human anatomy and the case itself. The main characters are Maura Isles the local pathologist and Jane Rizzoli. Both women are strong and independant who seem to have a friendship which due to their jobs they rarely allow out of their professional lives. Once again they are brought together by a murder in Boston, a woman is found violently murdered, her head and hand severed. In the house she ...

The Surgeon - Tess Gerritsen

I really don't want to give away any more of the story that that above. My little paraphrase of Chapter One should give you sufficient idea of what to expect. Tess Gerritsen trained as a doctor but gave up her medical practice to concentrate on writing fiction. Many of her titles (Harvest, Life Support, Bloodstream) are set in a hospital environment. She lives in Maine. Tess Gerritsen has her own website at www.tessgerritsen.com and a spooky place it is too. She certainly has her admirers. Stephen King is reputed to have said: "She is a must read in our house". THE ...
