The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen
(Rizzoli and Isles #1)
Format type: Kindle
Review:
The Surgeon deals with a serial killer who hunts down troubled women and cuts them up with the kind of precision which could come only to a man of medicine. When multiple murders lead the investigating team to a surviving victim of an old serial killer case that occurred a couple of years ago they start understanding the pattern. 'The Surgeon' ,the nick name that the killer gains shows a profile and style that matches the murderer who was killed by his victim two years ago. The theory of copy cat murderer or a ghost from past is what forms the rest of the book.
The book is a medical thriller and with its fast pace and attention to details it just about brings on goosebumps. Maybe that is due to my non familiarity with the genre but from what I read about the book it sure had that effect on others too. Though the story revolves around the Surgeon, his obsession with Dr Catherine Cordell and the investigative officer Moore , this also the introductory book for the female lead investigator Jane Rizzoli, who goes on to feature in the other books by Gerritsen. The understanding the investigative process , the forensic , the psycho analysis and the mere detailing shows that Gerritsen is an author who knows how to hold her reader's attention.
I have heard good things about the other books in the series where the admirable cop Jane Rizzoli is the central character. I might just pick them up and will also try to catch the series Rizzoli & Isles. If you want to try something in the genre may be this is a good book to start.
