Body Double: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles literally meets her match–and must face a savage serial killer and shattering personal revelations–in the brilliant new novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon and The Sinner.
Dr. Maura Isles makes her living dealing with death. As a pathologist in a major metropolitan city, she has seen more than her share of corpses every day–many of them victims of violent murder. But never before has her blood run cold, and never has the grim expression “dead ringer” rung so terrifyingly true. Because never before has the lifeless body on the medical examiner’s table been her own.
Yet there can be no denying the mind-reeling evidence before her shocked eyes and those of her colleagues, including Detective Jane Rizzoli: the woman found shot to death outside Maura’s home is the mirror image of Maura, down to the most intimate physical nuances. Even more chilling is the discovery that they share the same birth date and blood type. For the stunned Maura, an only child, there can be just one explanation. And when a DNA test confirms that Maura’s mysterious doppelgänger is in fact her twin sister, an already bizarre murder investigation becomes a disturbing and dangerous excursion into a past full of dark secrets.
Searching for answers, Maura is drawn to a seaside town in Maine where other horrifying surprises await. But perhaps more frightening, an unknown murderer is at large on a cross-country killing spree. To stop the massacre and uncover the twisted truth about her own roots, Maura must probe her first living subject: the mother that she never knew . . . an icy and cunning woman who could be responsible for giving Maura life–and who just may have a plan to take it away.

- Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles literally meets her match–and must face a savage serial killer and shattering personal revelations–in the brilliant new novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon and The Sinner.
Dr. Maura Isles makes her living dealing with death. As a pathologist in a major metropolitan city, she has seen more than her share of corpses every day–many of them victims of violent murder. But never before has her blood run cold, and never has the grim expression “dead ringer” rung so terrifyingly true. Because never before has the lifeless body on the medical examiner’s table been her own.
Yet there can be no denying the mind-reeling evidence before her shocked eyes and those of her colleagues, including Detective Jane Rizzoli: the woman found shot to death outside Maura’s home is the mirror image of Maura, down to the most intimate physical nuances. Even more chilling is the discovery that they share the same birth date and blood type. For the stunned Maura, an only child, there can be just one explanation. And when a DNA test confirms that Maura’s mysterious doppelgänger is in fact her twin sister, an already bizarre murder investigation becomes a disturbing and dangerous excursion into a past full of dark secrets.
Searching for answers, Maura is drawn to a seaside town in Maine where other horrifying surprises await. But perhaps more frightening, an unknown murderer is at large on a cross-country killing spree. To stop the massacre and uncover the twisted truth about her own roots, Maura must probe her first living subject: the mother that she never knew . . . an icy and cunning woman who could be responsible for giving Maura life–and who just may have a plan to take it away. - seriesId

Praise for Tess Gerritsen and Body Double
"One of the most versatile voices in thriller fiction today."--The Providence Journal
"Crime writing at its unputdownable, nerve-tingling best."

- content: Don't plan to do anything once you start listening to Tess Gerritsen's riveting story of serial murder. Narrator Kathe Mazur captures the listener from the first terrible moments when a girl is lured to a remote wooded area and left entombed alive in a pit. Mazur doesn't let go until the final claustrophobic struggle of a kidnapped pregnant woman imprisoned in a coffin-like box. Another strand of the tightly constructed plot concerns Boston Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles. Adopted in infancy, Isles discovers that she had an identical twin sister, a schizophrenic woman in prison for a double homicide could be her mother, and her family lineage might include a line of psychopaths. Gerritsen's intriguing, original plot and Kathe Mazur's powerful performance are unforgettable. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

BODY DOUBLE
Tess Gerritsen
. Ballantine
, $24.95 (352p) ISBN 0-345-45893-1
Pregnant women play key roles in this bone-chilling fourth novel in Gerritsen's edgy, suspenseful series of thrillers featuring Boston Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli. Both of the usually gritty crime fighters are uncharacteristically vulnerable. Rizzoli is carrying her first child, and Isles—divorced and alone at age 40 and suddenly, unsettlingly aware of her biological clock—is experiencing decidedly unspiritual feelings for her priest. As the novel begins, Isles—an adopted child who never knew the identity of her birth parents—is confronted by the corpse of a murdered woman who is apparently her identical twin. Another detective, Rick Ballard, comes forward to say that he knew the victim and is certain her killer is a powerful pharmaceutical baron known to have stalked her. Isles falls for the handsome Ballard, but she isn't convinced by his theory, and she launches an investigation into her sister's past, following the trail to a state correctional facility and a schizophrenic inmate who may be her mother. This opens the cobwebbed pages of a nightmarish family album and leads Isles to a remote cabin in Maine where the long-dead body of a pregnant woman is discovered buried in the woods. The killer, Isles discovers, has been murdering pregnant women for decades, making periodic sweeps of the country. Meanwhile, brief scenes chronicle the diabolical kidnapping of an affluent pregnant housewife who is kept buried in a crude coffin. An electric series of startling twists, the revelation of ghoulishly practical motives and a nail-biting finale make this Gerritsen's best to date. Agent, Meg Ruley.

- content: Anne Heche does well by this latest addition to Gerritsen's series featuring Pathologist Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli. Isles must deal with a corpse who could be her twin; together with the very pregnant Rizzoli she investigates her own murky past and a series of murders in which the victims are expectant mothers. The complex plot, well-preserved in abridgment, ranges from Massachusetts to small-town Maine, with characters either voiced or suggested. For the narrative parts Heche keeps a steady pace and avoids giving any hint of the outcome. You'll be haunted by the voices of the young women kept as captives and pleased with this production as a whole. J.B.G. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
