fullDescription

Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the hit TNT series—continue their bestselling crime-solving streak.
A blessed event becomes a nightmare for pregnant homicide detective Jane Rizzoli when she finds herself on the wrong side of a hostage crisis in this timely and relentless thriller.
A nameless, beautiful woman appears to be just another corpse in the morgue. An apparent suicide, she lies on a gurney, awaiting the dissecting scalpel of medical examiner Maura Isles. But when Maura unzips the body bag and looks down at the body, she gets the fright of her life. The corpse opens its eyes.
Very much alive, the woman is rushed to the hospital, where with shockingly cool precision, she murders a security guard and seizes hostages . . . one of them a pregnant patient, Jane Rizzoli.
Who is this violent, desperate soul, and what does she want? As the tense hours tick by, Maura joins forces with Jane’s husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to track down the mysterious killer’s identity. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize that they are dealing with a case that goes far deeper than just an ordinary hostage crisis.
Only Jane, trapped with the armed madwoman, holds the key to the mystery. And only she can solve it–if she survives the night.

   • content: Pacing a little on the slow side and dubious vocal characterization of a central character are the only liabilities of an otherwise engaging performance of Gerritsen's latest thriller by Susan Denaker. Her voice for Medical Examiner Maura Isles is feminine and strong, demonstrating that these facets need not be diametrically opposed. Her voice for Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli, however, is just strong and is performed with Boston accent that is too broad. Fair or unfair, this characterization makes her sound brusque and unattractive, causing listeners to question her dashing husband's romantic devotion. Otherwise, Denaker capably voices the many other characters populating this involving story of forced prostitution, murder, and governmental cover-up. J.P.M. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

     July 25, 2005
     Retired internist Gerritsen serves up another prescription for bad dreams in her latest thriller to feature Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli (Body Double).
     The catalogue of terrors this time out includes sexual slavery, hostage-taking and torture; there are also government bad guys, post–9/11 red herrings and a heart-tugging cadre of young Eastern European women known only by their first names. Fierce Olena, thought dead, wakes up in Maura's morgue, recovers in the hospital, and—with the help of a mysterious colleague—takes a group of hostages, including Jane, who's about to give birth. Jane's husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, tries to reason with the hostage-takers, and learns that Olena wants publicity to bring down the Washington bigwig responsible for sexually enslaving, then murdering, her friends. Maura feels a frisson for Tribune
     columnist Peter Lukas, and he seems to be the guy to tell the story, but readers will quickly apprehend that he's playing both sides. As usual, the medical details are vivid and read authentic, while the action is just this side of super-hero comic exaggeration. Does it work? The book clubs say yes: Doubleday, Literary Guild, and Mystery Guild have all made it a main selection; the bestseller lists can't be far behind.

6. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: True to Gerritsen's reputation as a writer of complex mysteries, this story does not disappoint. The listener is treated to international crime, local and federal police action, forensic investigation, and even a subplot involving a newborn baby and budding maternal instinct. Anne Heche guides the listener along the winding path as each character does his/her job in trying to get to the bottom of the conspiracy. The pace of the story is fast and clipped, convincing the reader of the urgency to solve the crime quickly, before more lives are lost. Heche's film experience portraying a variety of characters is evident in her performance. S.K.P. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
