DIE AGAIN,
Tess Gerritsen
A thriller that will have you glued to the pages, page after page.
Synopsis
The latest enthralling case in Tess Gerritsen’s New York Times bestselling Rizzoli & Isles series, the blockbuster books behind the smash hit TNT series.
Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli is on the case of a big game hunter found dead in his apartment, alone with the body of a beautiful white snow leopard he had recently been commissioned to procure and stuff for a high-profile museum in the area.
Medical examiner Maura Isles connects the case to several seemingly unrelated deaths where the victims have all been found hanging upside down, the hallmark of a leopard’s kill.
Rizzoli follows the puzzling trail of clues all the way to Botswana, where she uncovers the unsolved mystery of a deadly camping safari six years prior. When she realizes the two cases are connected, Rizzoli must track down the sole survivor of the tragic trip to discover who – or what – is behind these gruesome deaths.
Richard says
You can never go wrong with any of Terri Gerritsen’s novels and Die Again delivers with a gut punch.
It’s an African safari you’ll never want to go on and it’s a story that will make you look at your pet cat in a different way. Cats are predators, even the domesticated tabby that roams around your house. You think they are aloof. They’re not. They just know you are too big of a prey for them to take down. So they tolerate you but watch how that pussy cat never lets you out of its sight.
Gerritsen takes cat love to a whole new level. Personification of the cat’s killer persona embodied in a human, one who becomes a killing machine in the same way large cats are, cats like lions, tigers, cougars and leopards.
The story flips back and forth between the African safari setting and the murder scenes in the Boston area of the USA. Rizzoli, the determined detecttve and Isles, the driven medical examiner, are the duo who sift through all the evidence to determine who is killing people in the style of a killer cat.
The safari scenes will rivet you to the seat as you read about one killing, then another, until only two people remain. The milquetoast book vendor escapes from the safari encampment suspecting the remaining safari member must be the killer. She clampers through the constant death threatening jungle trying to escape from the killer and to avoid all the natural killers of the African Bostwana jungle.
Meanwhile, Rizzoli and Isles try to piece the puzzles together of the killing spree that has last for many years back in the USA.
The story grabs you and holds you to the very end.
I have never liked cats. Now I have another layer of why I dislike them so.
An excellent read.
