Apprentice | Tess Gerritsen
36 posts | 89 read | 21 to read
The bestselling author of "The Surgeon" returns and so does that chilling novel s diabolical villain. Though held behind bars, Warren Hoyt still haunts a helpless city, seeming to bequeath his evil legacy to a student all-too-diligent . . . and all-too-deadly. THE APPRENTICE It is a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the city s woes is a series of shocking crimes, in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the city s streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that s what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her literally and figuratively she is determined to finally end Hoyt s awful influence . . . even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad. But Rizzoli isn t counting on the U.S. government s sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isn t counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta. . . . Filled with superbly created characters and the medical and police procedural details that are her trademark "The Apprentice" is Tess Gerritsen at her brilliant best. Set in a stunning world where evil is easy to learn and hard to end, this is a thriller by a master who could teach other authors a thing or two. "From the Hardcover edition.""

ShelleyBooksie I would ask what genre they like and go from there. If someone is looking for a funny, light book my go to suggestion is always One for The Money by Janet Evanovich. 10mo
tpixie @ShelleyBooksie yes! Great slapstick comedy and a fun cast of characters! I stopped at #17 - but loved them!!! Oh I remember the agony of having to wait a whole year for Book 6!! ( Who was at her door!??!) 🚪 10mo

BookwormAHN @ElizaMarie Love that, I go with The Dead Zone a lot or Lord Of The Rings. 10mo
Elizabeth2 @ShelleyBooksie @tpixie haha! Great recommendation. I‘ve been reading that series for more than 20 years! My first recommendations for someone who doesn‘t specify genre are usually one of these - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Dog Who Saved Me, Saving Jacob, A Man Called Ove, anything by Sarah Addison Allen or The Book Theif. So hard to just recommend one! (Don‘t enter me for the giveaway for this one - I‘ve read all of these. 😃) (edited) 10mo

Bk1 of February is done. A reread of a book which is technically the 2nd Rizzoli & Isles novel but really is the first book with both Jane AND Maura involved. I loved it just as much this time around. Rizzoli is battered but unbent after her encounter with The Surgeon when a bee series of murders start. Then the unthinkable happens, Hoyt escapes from jail & joins forces with the new killer. Recommend👍 #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #Pop22👇

Really enjoying my reread of the first Rizzoli & Isles thriller. Keep trying to talk @Ciara_Rosey into reading them as she‘s obsessed with the tv show! Don‘t know if she‘ll like it but, the book Jane & Maura are very different to the tv ones.

Starting to get more of the characters from the show appearing in this one. Hoyt's comeuppance was better in the book than it was in the show. Need more character development soon.

A decent police procedural, and I'm glad Gerritsen did not dwell on psychological terror this time around.

The second Rizzoli & Isles and Isles finally made a decent appearance, although not a main character yet. This was somewhat of a sequel to the first in that Hoyt made another showing. Gerritsen sometimes gets too technical for me with the forensics, but is always engaging with the tension and action.

4/5⭐️ - This was one of those books where you have to leave the lights on and can‘t read too close to when you go to bed. It was just the right amount of suspense and drama that you expect from a crime novel. So glad that this is a series because the main character is also amazing!

Detective Jane Rizzoli thought that the nightmare is over when she locked the Monster up. But a Detective call her asking for help when he‘s being called to investigate the case. Jane knew something is wrong and something similar with the staging of the murders. What happen when The Surgeon meet his partner in crime? Beware of the detailed descriptions of the crime. Disturbing and dark. #thriller #series #suspense

I loved the surgeon and this is a great follow up, written in the authors trademark gory style, her books aren't for the faint hearted! Fast paced, plenty of twist and turns and you never know what's going to turn your stomach next. Absolutely brilliant as always!

My first thriller years and I had so much fun reading it and want to read more of this genre now. It was a good story, thrilling and I liked the characters. I want to meet Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles very soon again.

Snuggeling up with a thriller and a hot black tea. Tess Gerritsen let me stay up in the night so I'm already halfway through the book. The first thriller I'm reading in years and I like it - a lot.
