The Sinner

Good story. The characters of Rizzoli and Isles are evolving. ( )

Publisher: Bantam
Purchased: Bought on Audible

What I Loved: This one is more intense than the last two (and they were pretty darn intense). I really enjoyed the case with all of its twists and turns. I never really knew what was going to happen. I really love that in a thriller. The case really blew me away with its intensity and cleverness. I really thought it would be one person responsible and I was completely wrong.

What I Liked: Really enjoyed getting to know Rizzoli and Isles a little bit more. They are both strong but flawed characters that have enough personality quirks to make them interesting.

Complaints: Each book I read/listen to makes me wish the TV Show was closer to these books and amazing characters. Really that has nothing to do with the books but I though I would throw that out there.

Why I gave it a 4: This is turning into a series that I can't wait to read the next book. Tess is very talented in both writing and storytelling. She does a great job of balancing personal lives of the characters with the solving of the case.

Who I would recommend it too: People who read thrillers. This is not a series to miss!

Overall I enjoyed the book. I liked getting to know Isles better, finally, and even Rizzoli became much more human and brought to life. I think there was maybe a little too much time spent on personal stories instead of the nitty, gritty homicide case solving suspense. I'm hoping that now that the characters stories are more fleshed out, the rest of the books in the series will get back to more suspense and thrills with the cases they are trying to solve. ( )

Rizzoli and Isles are investigating the murder and the attempted murder of two nuns in a chapel on the ground of a cloistered abbey. The nuns are suppose to stay removed from the outside world so who could have gained access and done this horrible crime?
Dr Isles ex shows up during the investigation after 3 years, is this just a chance of fate or is there another reason he is in town? Lots of twists and turns! ( )

3.5 stars
