This was my first book in the Rizzoli and Isle series.
Although there were some back stories, this was very much a stand alone book.
It was quite gory with detailed descriptions of blood and guts – literally – at
the crime scenes. I genuinely liked the
characters. I have seen the TV show, but did not expect them to be the same in
the book. Maura was the closest and I could picture her similar to the TV
version. Either way the book stood on its own.
It was an interesting mystery with crimes in the US
and in Africa . The author did a wonderful job creating
the mental images of the safari and the conditions in the jungle. The jumping back and forth in time and place
was done very well and I did not find it confusing at all. Perhaps the change
to first person narrative helped make the transition clear.
It was a little confusing at the end but it certainly kept
me guessing. This is a well-written story with a good mystery and culminates to
a satisfying conclusion.
