23. “The Apprentice” by Tess Gerritsen
A series of horrific murders seem disturbingly familiar to Detective Jane Rizzoli. They remind her and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles of those committed by a killer known as the Surgeon, who they recently put behind bars. While they’re still trying to track down the new killer, the unthinkable happens : the Surgeon escapes. Suddenly Jane is chasing not one but two brilliant and twisted minds, united by one goal ... to perfect their skills on the woman who’s hunting them.
Review : ⭐️⭐️⭐️. This is the second book in the Rizzoli and Isles series - though so far it’s Rizzoli and two seconds of Isles. Not sure when the partnership is supposed to kick in? No surprises with this one. Very much your generic whodunnit crime drama. By the end of the book I was very sick of Rizzoli constantly proving how ‘strong’ she is and how much harder she has to work as a woman cop. This is undoubtedly true for her character, but is grating as her sole motivation. Not sure if I’ll push ahead with the series. #theapprentice #tessgerritsen #crime #bookstagram #books #fiction #bookreview #randomhousebooks #rizzoliandisles #owlsreadathon2020
