Critics around the world have praised her novels as "Pulse-pounding fun" (Philadelphia Inquirer), "Scary and brilliant" (Toronto Globe and Mail), and "Polished, riveting prose" (Chicago Tribune). Publisher Weekly has dubbed her the "medical suspense queen".
Now retired from medicine, she writes full time. She lives in Maine.
This series is lovely. Honestly, I started reading this series after I saw the TV series "Rizzoli & Isles". Considering the book & TV series they are never the same, whatsoever book you pick and in this case there was no surprises. Although "Maura Isles" is very important and main character of this whole series but she was present very less in the first book. I must admit this that I liked the characters from the books more than the TV series one. This whole series is so captivating that whether it is the book or it is the TV series I can say only this that I loved it.
This book is just not only the Action Thriller but it's also have many other good things in them. There are moments that are just a scene in TV series but while reading them in the book they are so captivating that it will keep you on the edge of your seats and your heart in your mouth. I really connected with the character "Maura Isles" as per knowledge and taste is considered she is just like me.
I really loved this series by Tess and would like to recommend because if you have not read this then you are missing something important.
