From Publishers Weekly

Pregnant women play key roles in this bone-chilling fourth novel in Gerritsen's edgy, suspenseful series of thrillers featuring Boston Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli. Both of the usually gritty crime fighters are uncharacteristically vulnerable. Rizzoli is carrying her first child, and Isles—divorced and alone at age 40 and suddenly, unsettlingly aware of her biological clock—is experiencing decidedly unspiritual feelings for her priest. As the novel begins, Isles—an adopted child who never knew the identity of her birth parents—is confronted by the corpse of a murdered woman who is apparently her identical twin. Another detective, Rick Ballard, comes forward to say that he knew the victim and is certain her killer is a powerful pharmaceutical baron known to have stalked her. Isles falls for the handsome Ballard, but she isn't convinced by his theory, and she launches an investigation into her sister's past, following the trail to a state correctional facility and a schizophrenic inmate who may be her mother. This opens the cobwebbed pages of a nightmarish family album and leads Isles to a remote cabin in Maine where the long-dead body of a pregnant woman is discovered buried in the woods. The killer, Isles discovers, has been murdering pregnant women for decades, making periodic sweeps of the country. Meanwhile, brief scenes chronicle the diabolical kidnapping of an affluent pregnant housewife who is kept buried in a crude coffin. An electric series of startling twists, the revelation of ghoulishly practical motives and a nail-biting finale make this Gerritsen's best to date.

From AudioFile

Anne Heche does well by this latest addition to Gerritsen's series featuring Pathologist Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli. Isles must deal with a corpse who could be her twin; together with the very pregnant Rizzoli she investigates her own murky past and a series of murders in which the victims are expectant mothers. The complex plot, well-preserved in abridgment, ranges from Massachusetts to small-town Maine, with characters either voiced or suggested. For the narrative parts Heche keeps a steady pace and avoids giving any hint of the outcome. You'll be haunted by the voices of the young women kept as captives and pleased with this production as a whole.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Chilling Look at Identity and Evil, Déc 6 2008
This review is from: Body Double: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Crime-solving books often leave me cold . . . rather than moved by a sense of admiration for the characters, dread from the evil cast by the wrong-doers or interest in how the story turns out. Body Double was a powerful exception to that normal experience. The characters moved me to sympathy, I admired the main detective very much and I found the evil-doers to be truly creepy. With those emotions coursing through me, I read the book avidly and with great pleasure.

That surprised me because the jacket blurb made me assume that this would be a very formula-driven book about self-identity. While that theme is present, the way it is developed far exceeded my expectations and was very intriguing.

But the best part for me was contemplating the villains. These evil-doers represent an unusual type of wrong-doer in a crime and detection novel, and their characters were developed in a way that intrigued me . . . rather than just repulsing me. That made for a better story.

To get a sense of this book's theme and gut-wrenching qualities, imagine watching an autopsy of someone who looks just like you who has suffered a violent death near your home. What thoughts would be going through your mind?

Next, imagine that you are about to give birth and are confronting a remorseless killer. How would you try to save your life and that of your baby and eliminate the killer?

If you find those circumstances to be gripping, read this book.

I have not read any of the earlier books in the series, but I intend to read future installments after having been very impressed with this one.

The only reason I didn't grade the book higher is that the plot structure could have been tightened up a bit . . . and been even more powerful. It's actually more of a 4-and-a-half stars book, but there's no way to do that on Amazon.

This review is from: Body Double: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Tess Gerritsen book but definitely won't be my last. Only after I finished the book did I find out that it was fourth in a series with these characters... It's a shame that I didn't start at the beginning of this series but Body Double stands perfectly fine on it's own and I will continue with her next book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Seeing Double?, Jui 15 2006
Par Meredith "Book Critique" (Vancouver British Columbia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Body Double (Paperback)
Dr. Maura Isles is very surprised that there are a couple of obstacles that are linked to her throughout the book. Some of the different events and some of the different adversities through the book were strikingly familiar to her ownself. She has been on edge ever since some problems through the book. If you would like an exciting, and would like a book that establishes many different adventures for Maura Isles, this is the book for oyu to read.
