Biografia breu
Tess Gerritsen left a successful practice as an internist to raise her children and concentrate on her writing. She gained nationwide acclaim for her first novel of suspense, the 1996 New York Times bestseller Harvest. Subsequently, she wrote three bestselling medical thrillers, Life Support (1997), Bloodstream (1998), and Gravity (1999). Her first crime thriller, The Surgeon (2001) introduced the character of homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, who then became the focus of a series of novels that paired her with medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The books were adapted into the television series Rizzoli & Isles.

I didn't find a cover to match the hardback copy of the version I just finished---this is one of the paperback covers. As usual Gerritsen writes about the puzzle surrounding a super human man and woman accomplishing only-in-a-novel feats as they search for answers. What's not to love about that when you're reading a novel full of twists and turns? I'm catching up with Gerritsen's earlier novels.

This book was interesting. There are 2 stories being told at the beginning of this book. One story of a renowned taxidermist in Boston who was murdered and a missing snow leopard pelt. Detective Jane Rizzoli and Medical Examiner Maura Isles are on the case. The other story being told is of people on a safari in Botswana and the safari goes tragically wrong. You think, as you're reading, that these stories are taking place in parallel, but the safari story is actually 6 years prior to the taxidermist murder. Yet, they are connected. Rizzoli and Isles figure out how they are connected and then realize that they are looking at more than just the taxidermist murder.

This is a great series (and the TV show was pretty good too!) but this book left me a little....well, I don't know. There was a lot of animals being killed and gutted...so, if you don't like to read about that, then this book might not be for you.

It was fine. The first few chapters were enough to give me the chills.
