The Surgeon Review
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen was really good! It's a Rizzoli & Isles series and if you've seen the TV show Rizzoli and Isles then you would know a little of what the books are going to be about. Now this book wasn't an episode as of yet, but it does kinda go with the TV show. Anyway the book was just a good book! It started off with a successful physician named Catherine Cordell who was nearly murdered a few years back in Savannah but lived to tell the tale because she blew her attacker away before he could finish the job. With her attacker's death, the string of grotesque torture-murders ends in Savannah, but then resurfaces in Boston. Which is just where Cordell now resides. The new murderer, nicknamed "The Surgeon", moves through Boston like air carrying out his sick fantasies that are identical to the string of murders in Savannah. You'd think it were the same killer, but how could it be? Well you'd have to read the book to see how it ends! I will give you a spoiler here, towards the end something had happened to Rizzoli that goes with something that had happened in the TV show. It has to do with her hands. That is all I will tell you! Also Isles isn't in this book at all, she wasn't mention at all throughout the book so I'm not sure why but I would hope that in the next book she'll be introduced. Another thing that was in the book is that every once awhile, in italics there would be a few paragraphs of what was going through the killer's mind and that kinda gave you a "look" into the killer's mind and it was interesting. I will definitely be buying the next book and possibly the whole series as I get into the books!
