fairly and relatively speaking this one is a little disappointed when comparing the previous book in the series. A good plot and storyline overall but may be spending a little more time to talk about the life in school, in personal opinion. Always looking forward next one comes out real soon and hoping the next one would be better.

Gerritsen's writing continues to be tremendous in yet another chapter of the Rizzoli and Isles series. Not quite as good as her previous effort, but terrific none the less; she shows no sign of losing steam with these characters. A fun read that excels just as much with the backstory as it does with the main plot.

One thing for sure is that this is a great book but then its by Lisa Gerritsen - what else do u expect.

Why don't you include all the libraries on your Hold list. ? This omission is a new wrinkle

The latest entry in the Rizzoli & Isles series finds Boston PD detective Jane Rizzoli investigating the horrific massacre of a well-to do foster family, with fourteen year old Teddy Glock the only witness and survivor. Orphan Teddy had already suffered through the tragic death of his parents two years prior. Coincidence? Or could Teddy be the target? Unsure of the answer, Detective Rizzoli whisks Teddy away from Boston to the secluded Eversong Boarding School, a sanctuary for young victims of violent crimes way up in the secluded Maine wilderness, while she tries to solve the case. However, it is at Eversong that Teddy connects with two other recent arrivals, Will Yablonski and Claire Ward, both of whom have been through the same terrible losses as Teddy. Both parents were killed, and then the caregivers next, all within the same time frame. Panicked over what can no longer be coincidence, Detective Rizzoli pairs up with medical examiner Maura Isles, who happens to be staying at Eversong on vacation visiting a student. Together they must figure out how these three children are linked, and whether this will put all the students at Eversong in jeopardy? Reviewed by DH

Good plot where the truth gets revealed very close to the end so that the reader is guessing who is the bad guy and who is the good guy. The plot involves children of CIA agents who witness the deaths of their families. Gerritsen tells us why they died. I can't get used to her writing style, however. I find myself skipping over pages of filler about Rizzoli's mom's relationship problems. Also annoying are her insertions about the effect of situations on the main characters...to me these seem a bit lame...more filler.

sadly, i couldn't finish.

Fast paced quick read. Always look forward to a new Rizzoli and Isles mystery.

Best yet!
