Sinossi
A Boston vengono scoperti i cadaveri di due giovani donne orrendamente mutilate. Scattano immediatamente le indagini, affidate alla detective Jane Rizzoli, donna determinata e tenace, ma frustrata per le discriminazioni di cui è oggetto nell'ambiente lavorativo. Jane individua ben presto un nesso tra l'orripilante rituale del serial killer, denominato "il chirurgo" per la sua conoscenza delle tecniche operatorie, e quello di un assassino che anni prima, a Savannah, aveva violentato, seviziato e ucciso diverse donne. Jane scopre anche che l'ultima vittima del killer di Savannah è riuscita a sfuggirgli e a ucciderlo e che, dopo il fatto, si è trasferita proprio a Boston, dove lavora come chirurgo.

Maura Isles is totally missing. Jane Rizzoli is so much different than the TV show. I am a fan of the TV show so I decided to start with book #1. I was not disappointed in the book, but it was a bit of a shock to see Rizzoli as a homely, outsider fighting for her what was due her. The development of Leggi tutto

2.5 I did not enjoy this book. Starting with one of the most horrifying things people can experience - yes, people - which I expected because it is implied in the blurb, to the annoying stuff I didn't expect (like Rizzoli's behaviour, among other things). I haven't seen the TV show yet and I hope Rizz Leggi tutto
