Listen To Me by Tess Gerritsen

4.0

My first Gerritsen and overall pretty good read. There are four POVs - Rizzoli, Isles, Rizzoli's mother and Amy, who's injured in a car crash early on and is being followed by a mystery man. Despite the many shifts in POV the story holds together pretty well and is a pretty decent page turner. Rizzoli & Isles are investigating the murder of a nurse, killed in an apparent robbery - but before she died she made a series of puzzling phone calls and web searches. Rizzoli's mother is involved in some neighbourhood disputes and a strange couple have moved in across the road and a mysterious van keeps turning up.

It wasn't hard to figure out what was happening with the strange couple. Likewise the identity of the mystery man. There were a couple of other good twists pulled out, all supported by cunningly hidden clues. However, the major twist hung on the murdered nurse happening to come across somebody 30 years later in a completely different state - in a country of 320 million people I wasn't convinced by the plausibility. Otherwise this was a good read, well edited and the author is clearly very good at her trade.

Overall I'd rate this as a 3.5.
