Summary: A Good Read!!!
Comment: Although I was loath to put this book down until the final page, it still was not as gripping as her last two books. Still if you like medical thrillers you can't go wrong with Ms. Gerritsen.
Without giving too much of the plot away the opening takes us to India and a massacred village. Then we are back in Boston at a brutal murder of a young novice and the injury of an older nun. The violence is unbelievable and there seems to be no indication of motive. But when the investigation moves forward ties between the murder of the young novice and the murder of an unidentified women in an abandon building are linked by bizzare circumstances. Detective Jane Rizzoli and Dr. Maura Isle work together to bring a killer to justice.
I enjoyed reading about Jane and I actually liked that Ms. Gerritsen was willing to portray this strong woman with normal human feelings of not thinking that she can do it all. I don't feel that romance was a huge part of the book. I'm a huge romance genre fan and the romance between Jane and Agent Gaberial Dean was way far back on the back burner and since I have been reading all the books involving Jane I was happy to see this relationship was continued and developed. As for the romance issue with Dr. Isle I feel that it played a part in the storyline and again this was not a priority in the plot. Yes, this book is not as griping as her last two...but then it is dealing with a different type of killer.
This book is worth picking up just keep and open mind and don't expect it to be like her others. Suspense is at a premium and favorite characters from previous book are included. If you have not read the last few books by Ms. Gerritsen don't worry, this book is still a stand alone story and by no means relys on previous titles. This is a fast paced read and a good way to spend a weekend.

Summary: Tess Gerritsen scores again!
Comment: Detective Jane Rizzoli returns in Gerritsen's latest novel, The Sinner. She is joined by medical examiner Maura Isles. The duo make a good team to investigate the seemingly unrelated murders of a nun, an unidentified homeless woman, and an executive. Rizzoli's character is more fleshed out from her previous appearances in The Surgeon and The Apprentice, and we learn more of her relationship with Gabriel Dean of the FBI. Dr. Isles is a good addition to Gerritsen's stable of protagonists. I'm sure we'll see more of these two women in future books from Gerritsen.
As a surgeon, I appreciate the medical detail and authenticity found in Gerritsen's works. Fortunately, as she has strayed farther from the medical/hospital setting, she has retained her medical realism. The Sinner is an exciting, gripping read, and I enjoyed it very much. However, as with her next most recent novel, The Apprentice, I feel like the resolution of the suspense was a bit rushed and predictable; hence the 4 out of 5 stars. Still I heartily recommend it, and I look forward to Gerritsen's next suspense offering.

Summary: One of the best!
Comment: M.E. Maura Isles is called to a convent with her friend and colleague, Jane Rizzoli, to investigate the horrific bludgeoning of two nuns. One is battered almost to the point of death and the younger one has had her skull completely crushed.Two separate stories unfold..the death of the young nun who is found to have recently had a baby, and the attempted murder of the older nun who has just returned from medical missionary work in India.Isles and Rizzoli work together on these cases while battling with their own demons, both to do with former lovers.It's a quick read and a most enjoyable one, albeit to do with gruesome medical facts. M/s Gerritsen has an easy to read, flowing style of writing which I appreciate very much and will definitely look for more of her work.
