From Publishers Weekly

Retired internist Gerritsen serves up another prescription for bad dreams in her latest thriller to feature Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli (Body Double). The catalogue of terrors this time out includes sexual slavery, hostage-taking and torture; there are also government bad guys, post–9/11 red herrings and a heart-tugging cadre of young Eastern European women known only by their first names. Fierce Olena, thought dead, wakes up in Maura's morgue, recovers in the hospital, and—with the help of a mysterious colleague—takes a group of hostages, including Jane, who's about to give birth. Jane's husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, tries to reason with the hostage-takers, and learns that Olena wants publicity to bring down the Washington bigwig responsible for sexually enslaving, then murdering, her friends. Maura feels a frisson for Tribune columnist Peter Lukas, and he seems to be the guy to tell the story, but readers will quickly apprehend that he's playing both sides. As usual, the medical details are vivid and read authentic, while the action is just this side of super-hero comic exaggeration. Does it work? The book clubs say yes: Doubleday, Literary Guild, and Mystery Guild have all made it a main selection; the bestseller lists can't be far behind. (Aug.)

From AudioFile

True to Gerritsen's reputation as a writer of complex mysteries, this story does not disappoint. The listener is treated to international crime, local and federal police action, forensic investigation, and even a subplot involving a newborn baby and budding maternal instinct. Anne Heche guides the listener along the winding path as each character does his/her job in trying to get to the bottom of the conspiracy. The pace of the story is fast and clipped, convincing the reader of the urgency to solve the crime quickly, before more lives are lost. Heche's film experience portraying a variety of characters is evident in her performance. S.K.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0étoiles sur 5 A solid easy-reading suspense thriller!, Mai 18 2009
Par Paul Weiss (Dundas, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Vanish: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
The opening scenes in "Vanish" are pure suspense thriller with Gerritsen writing in top form. Patterson, Preston, Child, Deaver, Follett, Palmer ... eat your hearts out!

Maura Isles, Boston's medical examiner and a frequent character in Gerritsen's novels, opens up a body bag to begin an autopsy only to discover that her subject is still alive. "Vanish" begins in high gear and rarely lets up. When that mysterious "body" recovers and takes a group of patients hostage, including a very pregnant detective Jane Rizzoli, readers will be glued to their seats flipping pages as quickly as they can.

But we all know that eventually a novel has to contain a plot. High speed action and events alone are not sufficient to sustain a quality novel and Tess Gerritsen doesn't miss the mark in this department either. Recent news about the "personal ads" section of Craigslist classified ads website have put stories of white slavery and sexual trafficking into the minds of the world and Gerritsen's plot is nothing if not topical. Government corruption and the abuse of eastern women looking for a better life in the west makes for some great reading.

While "Vanish" is more suspense thriller than medical thriller, Gerritsen remains true to her roots and provides her fans with lots of medical context and details that provide a vivid aura of authenticity.

"Vanish" isn't taxing in any literary sense but it certainly won't lose her any fans. Great suspense, great enjoyment and a good solid addition to her body of work.

Paul Weiss

5.0étoiles sur 5 You have GOT to read this one!, Aoû 9 2005
Par Detra Fitch (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vanish: A Novel (Hardcover)
Dr. Maura Isles is doing paperwork on an autopsy late one night. She needs some information to continue and goes into the Cold Room to locate it. There, she hears a noise coming from one of the body bags. Upon opening it, Maura is horrified to discover that the woman is still alive! Shortly thereafter, Maura goes to the hospital to follow up on her Jane Doe. She enters Doe's room just in time to see Doe kill a security cop. Doe ends up barricading herself and six other people in the Diagnostic Imaging area.

Jane Rizzoli is a Homicide Detective with Boston Police Department. She is also about to deliver a baby. She naps on the exam table and wakes up to find herself one of six hostages. Then a stranger walks past the police and SWAT Team members without anyone noticing until it is too late. Doe and the stranger know each other. They are on the same side. Rizzoli's husband is FBI agent Gabriel Dean, who is outside the hospital worried about his wife. He becomes frantic when he learns that the stranger is a specially trained black-ops agent, Joseph Roke ... and Joe is NOT on the police's side this time. No one knows what these two, seemingly crazy people, could possibly have in common.

When the crisis is over, Dean, Rizzoli, and Maura cannot seem to drop all their unanswered questions. They begin their own investigation. Soon they realize that Doe and Roke may not have been crazy after all. Sometimes there are secrets so terrible that powerful people will stop at nothing to keep quiet.
