Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

A grisly murder at a convent baffles Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Det. Jane Rizzoli at the start of this assured, richly shaded seventh novel from bestseller Gerritsen (The Apprentice; The Surgeon, etc.). The popular duo are called to Boston's Graystones Abbey when two nuns are discovered in an abandoned chapel, one dead and the other near death, both brutally bludgeoned. Red herrings are everywhere: Isles's discovery that one of the murdered nuns had recently given birth (followed shortly by the discovery of the baby's body in a pond near the convent); the murder of a homeless derelict with her face and extremities removed by her killer; and the lurking menace of a multinational chemical company. Complicating matters further is the sudden arrival of Isles's ex-husband, Victor, a celebrity humanitarian with his own suspicious connection to the case, and Rizzoli's old flame, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, who's responsible for the baby now growing in Rizzoli's belly. The investigation is rather low-key, but Gerritsen gives atmospheric depth to her tale with descriptions of snowbound Boston and an exotic past tragedy. Isles's pleasantly bitchy coldness ("Go ahead and pass me, idiots. I've met too many drivers like you on my slab") gives a welcome edge to the proceedings, and the struggles of both Isles and Rizzoli to balance their tough professional acts with romantic drama are satisfyingly gritty.

From AudioFile

Once again Gerritsen, a doctor, brings us gripping and technically detailed gore. Actor Dennis Boutsikaris delivers a cool, understated performance that suits the protaganist--Medical Examiner Maura Isle, a woman who prefers the company of corpses to the emotionally threatening world of the living. As in all thrillers, there are love interests who are close to the case and lots of surprises in the mysterious and hideous multiple murders of nuns. But most remarkable is how the story flows from the page to ear smoothly and grippingly, a real page-turner in the theater of the mind.

3.0étoiles sur 5 An Intriguing Murder-Mystery, Aoû 21 2006
Par R. Hansen "rob_slick" (Hamilton, Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: The Sinner (Hardcover)
This is the second Tess Gerritsen novel I have read, following her first, "Harvest." I enjoyed The Sinner very much and was particularly drawn to each of the characters.

Some parts developing the romantic sub-plots and background flashbacks were a little slow, but they were short enough that I was able to wade through them and get back to the action and investigation.

I gave it three stars overall. The characters and their interactions with each other would get top marks. But the slower parts of the story, and the almost cheesy villain brought it down a few notches for me. Still a recommended read for me.

Par Ez (Melbourne, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: Sinner (Hardcover)
Medical examiner Dr Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli investigate when a nun is killed, another is about to die, and a woman with no face, hands or feet is murdered. Though the author has moved away from her earlier medical thrillers and into Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs territory, this was a very interesting read. (A)

5.0étoiles sur 5 Totally Satisfied!!!, Jui 22 2004
Par laydeejay (Arlington, TX) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Sinner (Hardcover)
This is my first Tess Gerritsen novel and I haven't been disappointed at all. Even though it does display much the same premise as the Kay Scarpetta novels,she still makes the story interesting,exciting, and suspensful. It moved along really well and I felt like I got to know the main characters. I would consider buying other novels by this author.
