Tess Gerritsen
220听books20.3k听followersInternationally bestselling author Tess Gerritsen took an unusual route to a writing career. A graduate of Stanford University, Tess went on to medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, where she was awarded her M.D.
While on maternity leave from her work as a physician, she began to write fiction. In 1987, her first novel was published. Call After Midnight, a romantic thriller, was followed by eight more romantic suspense novels. She also wrote a screenplay, "Adrift", which aired as a 1993 CBS Movie of the Week starring Kate Jackson.
Tess's first medical thriller, Harvest, was released in hardcover in 1996, and it marked her debut on the New York Times bestseller list. Her suspense novels since then have been: Life Support (1997), Bloodstream (1998), Gravity (1999), The Surgeon (2001), The Apprentice (2002), The Sinner (2003), Body Double (2004), Vanish (2005), The Mephisto Club (2006), and The Bone Garden (2007).

This is book 10 in the Rizzoli series and I recommend that you read them in order. You should also be prepared for differences between the books and the tv series. My wife and I like both. Most of Gerritsen's books tend to be a bit creepy, but this one is super creepy. A murder takes place in Boston's Beacon Hill, a very rich, exclusive neighborhood. Two adults and their 3 children are murdered. The only survivor is their foster child, Teddy Clock. Teddy's parents were murdered in the US Virgin Islands. Their yacht blew up and Teddy survived.
Jane Rizzoli, Boston PD homicide, is called to the scene. When she starts investigating, she finds other murders with a chilling resemblance. Two parents murdered, a child survives, then the adoptive parents are murdered and the same child survives. But the other murders are outside of Boston and her boss considers the case closed when their chief suspect dies trying to escape the police. Jane does solve the case, with help from Dr. Maura Isles, Boston M.E., and her partner, Detective Frost.
I liked the way the tension builds throughout the plot, gradually exposing who the killer was.
I also liked the side subplots, Jane's family issues and Maura's continuing hostility from the Boston PD(explained in book 9). There is also Maura's relationship with a teenager who saved her life in book 8.
All of it made up a very satisfying read with an ending that tied up all the threads. I read this library book in 3 days.

July 17, 2012I'll be narrating this title. I've narrated two of the Rizzoli & Isles series and I can't tell you how much I LOVE this series and the characters. So excited to see what happens next.
February 7, 2019
Claire Ward, Will Yablonski and Teddy Clock all have something in common. The three teens share a traumatic past where they not only survived attacks on their families but on the families who subsequently took them in after the deaths of their parents. Now, they鈥檙e all at Evensong, the school located in a remote area in Maine that is associated with Anthony Sansone. Jane Rizzoli is investigating the most recent attack perpetrated against Teddy鈥檚 foster family and she鈥檚 responsible for placing him at Evensong. Coincidentally, Maura is at the school visiting Julian, the boy who saved her in Wyoming. Jane and Maura team up to investigate the coincidence they don鈥檛 believe is just that.
This was the most difficult mystery to solve to date. Finding a connection between these teens and their families, if any, was elusive. I finally decided I鈥檇 just go with the flow of a good story and follow it wherever it lead. It was highly interesting, especially as we got the points of view of so many of the characters. And, another new narrator who nails Jane Rizzoli and paces the story adeptly. But, I wasn鈥檛 a fan of her male voices, which were over exaggerated to the point of being annoying. Overall, though, it was a strong performance.
While not my most favorite in the series, this was one of the more compelling. There鈥檚 a lot going on, beginning with the initial investigation in Boston involving Teddy Clock. There鈥檚 a big twist at the end that I never saw coming. And, I鈥檓 not quite sure how to interpret the ending. Stay tuned.

Gerritsen nails it again with another tautly written Rizzoli and Isles installment.
A multi-layered book with a lot of changes in narration, but for me that just ratcheted up the tension. A total
page turner!!
In addition to our two super cool heroines, there were some great featured characters and shadowy figures who relentlessly pursued our youthful victims.
Shades of Stephen King (maybe because of the unique boarding school or Gerritsen鈥檚 strong voices for her young teen characters) but in a good way. A very original premise which pays off in the end.
And just enough of Sansone to wonder what may be next for he and Isles!!
Such a great read鈥� my favorite so far (but I think I may have said that about the last few books). 馃槑

A great story. Three children鈥檚 parents have been murdered and then their foster parents are then killed. The children are sent to Evensong a private school in an isolated area of Maine. It is run by Anthony Sansome a friend of Maura鈥檚.
Who is hunting the children? Why? The ending is good with a good twist.
Its interesting how different the stories on the tv show and also the characters in minor ways.

For fourteen-year-old Teddy Clock, death has struck twice. When he was twelve, his family was murdered; Teddy somehow survived but does not remember anything about the incident. Now, two years later, when his foster family is slaughtered, Boston detective Jane Rizzoli takes him under her wing. Not without reservation, she whisks him off to a boarding school called Evensong, a remote castle-like structure where he will be safe. With two near misses, will there be a third attempt? Will Teddy Clock be
The Last to Die
?
Rizzoli鈥檚 friend, Dr. Maura Isles, Boston鈥檚 chief forensic pathologist, happens to be at Evensong visiting her friend Julian. Julian is a sixteen-year-old boy whom she met in Montana. The two have become friends 鈥� almost family 鈥� since Julian saved Maura鈥檚 life. For those who are familiar with the series, the Mephisto Club and Anthony Sansone are responsible for the running of the school. Maura and Jane have both been suspicious of these hunters of evildoers in the past; will they trust them now to protect Teddy and give Julian what he needs as well?
At times the plot seems too far-out to be believed. Two other young students are also two-time victims of traumatic deaths to their loved ones. Jane thinks that this may not be a coincidence and that the kids鈥� lives are in danger. As Rizzoli and Frost backtrack on the investigations into the deaths of Will Yblonski and Claire Ward鈥檚 families, they struggle to find a link. Why would someone be trying to wipe out three kids? But that seems to be what is happening. Will Evensong be the sanctuary they need? Or will Claire and Will also be the last of their families to die?
In going over the same work as the previous investigators, Rizzoli and Frost come across some strange theories that had me scratching my head. I should mention that every so often, we get an anonymous short chapter that details a past clandestine operation somewhere that in no way seems to fit these current theories. No worries. This is Tess Gerritsen, and she has a plan, albeit a strange one. I have to admit that it was a pretty brilliant twist, even if it does require suspending belief.
I liked most of the kids and the continuing development of the principal characters, although I鈥檇 have liked to have seen some of Jane鈥檚 husband Gabriel, who is absent in this one. But we do get Bear, Julian鈥檚 dog! That鈥檚 a plus! We also get the added continuing drama of Jane鈥檚 mother and father and their marital woes. Stay tuned!
Overall, Last to Die was quite entertaining and nearly impossible to put down. There was no way I was going to figure this one out, and that鈥檚 perfectly fine with me.
3.5 rounded to 4 stars

One of my favorite of the series. I liked the new characters in this plot and Rizzoli and Isles were in top form...it was a difficult book to put down.
Of course, part of my enjoyment was that Detective Darren Crowe had to eat crow. A little comeuppance for certain characters is always nice to see.

This is book 10 in the Rizzoli and Isles book series and while I鈥檝e only read a couple I was able to follow things well. I will say there are some big differences between the show and the books but I like them both in their own ways. I think this book took the plot to somewhere a little out there but it was a fun book regardless. I will say I hated Jane鈥檚 family subplot in this and am so glad the show tweaked things just enough to still like everyone. I hope the next one involves Jane鈥檚 mother getting married (or skips the family subplot). Detective Rizzoli gets called to a homicide with a young boy,
Teddy, the only survivor. The really tragic part is this the second time his entire family (this time foster family) was killed and he alone survived. Meanwhile Dr. Isles is taking some time off to spend with a young boy who went through horrors with her at his remote school when Dr. Isles meets two children with stories just like Teddy鈥檚 of twice escaping death. While no one else seems to see connections, Jane doesn鈥檛 believe in coincidences.

is another excellent entry in the Rizzoli & Isles series. doesn't disappoint! She will keep the reader turning the pages trying to figure out, along with Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, what is happening and then at the end throws a curve ball that leaves the reader surprised.
Jane is called to horrific murder scene in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. Two adults and three children have been murdered. The only survivor is fourteen year-old foster child Teddy Clock who fled the scene and ran to a neighbor. Jane's maternal instincts kick in and she bonds with the young boy. Medical examiner Maura Isles is also at the scene. She is still feeling the hostility from the Boston PD after her testimony helped send a police officer to prison and her friendship with Jane has been strained too. She is about to head to Maine to visit Julian Perkins at Evensong, the exclusive boarding school. Julian helped save Maura in Wyoming and the two have become close. Almost family.
Jane makes arrangements to have Teddy placed with another family and continues to bond with him to try and get him to open up and tell her what happened to his foster family. She learns that Teddy has had a lot of tragedy in his young life. Two years ago his parents and sisters were killed in the U.S. Virgin Islands when their yacht blew up. First his family is killed, now his foster family is murdered.
At Evensong Maura meets two other students, Claire Ward and Will Yablonski, who share a similar story. Their families were murdered, they survived and were placed with a foster family, and their foster family was killed too. Again they were the only survivors. Too much of a coincidence for there not to be a connection. Maura calls Jane to let her know what she has learned. Jane decides that Teddy is not safe in Boston and decides to take him to Evensong. It is a secure location and contained. Claire, Will, and Teddy will all be together where they can keep an eye on them.
Jane and her partner, Detective Barry Frost, investigate the deaths of the Ward, Yablonski, and Clock families trying to find a connection. There is nothing apparent. They didn't even take place in the same country. But as Rizzoli and Frost investigate they learn there is a predator out there and that even at Evensong the children are not safe.
There are short chapters interspersed throughout the story that seem to reference a clandestine operation that took place in the past and which turned out badly. What is the connection to Teddy, Claire, and Will? Why were their families killed? will tie everything together at the end and in a way that left me surprised and delighted. The author left me eagerly anticipating the next story in the series.

Why would someone kill the families of three different children then slaughter the families that adopted them? That鈥檚 the basic premise of Last To Die and it鈥檚 a good one. Unfortunately, Gerritsen doesn鈥檛 deliver what could have been a great book.
On the plus side, she didn鈥檛 give us another serial killer novel 鈥� something she鈥檚 overly fond of. On the minus side, too much of the story was told from outside the main characters鈥� point of view. Ahem, Ms. Gerritsen, this is a Rizzoli & Isles book; they should be the ones to carry the story, not others. Four chapters from the bad guy鈥檚 point of view thrown in randomly seem more like asides rather than something related to the main story. Add a mysterious rescuer, a rogue CIA agent, tension-building moments that fall flat, and characters who popped up only to fulfill a specific role that did nothing to advance the story, and you have a clich茅-ridden lame effort.
Gerritsen also left several loose threads hanging at the end, giving this book a rushed, incomplete feel. Is she planning to carry them over or tie them off in the next book? Or was she pressured by her publisher to crank this book out to tie in with the Rizzoli & Isles TV series? Either way, this is a half-hearted book.
I gave this book 2 stars because I can鈥檛 give it 1陆. I didn鈥檛 hate it, but it wasn鈥檛 quite good enough to merit even an ok rating.
If this is your first exposure to this series, you will be disappointed.

Nije lo拧e da se pro膷ita, ali na mene nije ostavilo neki utisak.

D啪ejn i (S)Mora su posebno blede i iz knjige u knjigu sve iritantnije.

Jedna z lepszych ksi膮偶ek Tess, co prawda m贸wi臋 tak praktycznie o ka偶dej :)) 艢wietna fabu艂a, jak zwykle plot twist, kt贸rego si臋 nie spodziewa艂am (mo偶liwe, 偶e jestem na nie za g艂upia) i super kreacja bohater贸w. Maura i Jane wci膮偶 pozostaj膮 w mojej topce, naprawd臋 inspiruj膮ce postacie. +100 za 艣wietne zako艅czenie, t臋skni艂am za t膮 seri膮

Another great Rizzoli & Isles case. We are 10 books deep so I won't say much but this book has twist after twist after twist. I'm fighting a reading slump but this book kept me engaged.
I highly recommend this series.

Tess Gerritsen's 10th Rizzoli & Isles thriller is (as always) full of great characters & nice plot twists. There are plenty of characters from her previous books in Last to Die, so this won't really work as a stand alone novel.
The setting, of an isolated school, is nicely atmoshperic & although not as good as some of the other Rizolli & Isles books it's enjoyable enough.

Hmm hat mich leider nicht gepackt.

Simply delicious to the last drop! Tess Gerritsen always delivers a great read, but Last to Die is an especially tasty treat. Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles are at their best in this blood chilling tale about three teens who have each survived two massacres involving their families and their foster families. Leave it to Jane and Maura to discover that the latest multiple homicide in Boston leaving 14-year-old Teddy Clock as the sole survivor is far from an unlucky home invasion. Teddy along with two other teens are being targeted, but there doesn't seem to be a connection to the three families. The teens end up at Evensong boarding school, which caters to traumatized teens, and promises to be a safe haven for them with its location in the Maine wilderness and carefully selected staff. But, evil can be a relentless adversary, and it soon is apparent that even a well fortified sanctuary can be penetrated. Gerritsen gives readers some tantalizing twists in a plot that is masterfully concocted. I couldn't stop reading, even though I knew that it meant the book would end more quickly, and one never wants a great read to end.

Last to Die definitely stands out as one of my favourite novels written by Tess Gerritsen along with and . After finishing , I actually intended to read either or , but I was cautious and eventually I opted once again for a novel belonging to my favourite genre. About 4 years ago I read , my first encounter with the Rizzoli & Isles book and ever since I've been coming back to this series eager and full of great expectations. Tess Gerritsen has proved that she has the capability of constructing each installment in this series differently regarding the plot, the points of view, the setting and this is the reason why I've never got bored. I also enjoy the fact that apart from the main characters, there are others as well who feature in more than one novel, such as Anthony Sansone, Lily Saul, Julian Perkins, and I think that this gives continuity to the series.
Last to Die is about three children whose families were murdered during the same week a couple years ago and subsequently each one's foster family was murdered as well. Following these tragic events, the three teenagers became students of Evensong, a remote boarding school in Maine destined for children who lost their families tragically and needed help to deal with their childhood traumas. Evensong is a very mysterious school and the teaching methods differ considerably from the common ones. Evensong is meant to offer protection to these children, but a series of unsettling events occurring in the school indicates that the criminals are aware of the children's whereabouts and that the attack is imminent. Detective Jane Rizzoli is convinced that the deaths of the three children's families are connected but she struggles to find a plausible connection between them.
Needless to say, the story was frightening and addictive at the same time. It was told from multiple points of view and the numerous twists maintained the suspense. In contrast with other installments in the Rizzoli & Isles series, in Last to Die both Jane and Maura had an almost equally important role and the novel also laid emphasis on the friendship between them. Right now I'm feeling sad because I read all of the novels in the Rizzoli & Isles series which have been released so far. I'm impatient to read the 12th installment which is set to be published in August.

Drie kinderen maken een familiedrama mee, hun ouders en eventueel broertjes en zusjes worden vermoord. Wanneer ze bij een pleeggezin zijn, worden de pleeggezinnen ook vermoord. Toch weten deze drie kinderen er steeds aan te ontsnappen. Zal de moordenaar doorgaan tot ze ook dood zijn?
Maura Isles gaat de zomer doorbrengen met haar nieuwste vriend: Julian 'Rat' Perkins. Hij zit op de school Eversong, de school is gevestigd in een kasteel midden in een bos. De Drie kinderen die ik eerder heb genoemd, blijken ook op die school te zitten. Als Maura en Jane er achter komen dat de kinderen een doelwit zijn, wordt het wel heel spannend.听

Een steengoede thriller. Je wordt regelmatig op het verkeerde been gezet en het verhaal is erg spannend. Daardoor had ik het boek dan ook snel uit. Het liefst zou ik meteen doorgaan met deel 11. Ik lees de serie echter met een 欧宝娱乐-groep, dus ik wacht netjes tot november, wanneer we deel 11 gaan lezen. Nu een ander boek zoeken dat ik wil gaan lezen. Dat zal nog wel lastig zijn na dit boek. Ik zit nog zo in de sfeer van dit verhaal. Het einde was dit keer wel weer wat abrupter dan bij deel 9. Daarom moet ik het verhaal nog even laten bezinken.

Very good read - Tess Gerritsen knows how to tell a story!
June 25, 2023
Jubilarni deseti roman o mom najdra啪em 啪enskom istra啪iteljskom dvojcu - Jane Rizzoli i Mauri Isles - ne posustaje u napetostima i policijskim igrama ma膷ke i mi拧a, na istoj razini na kojoj smo kod Tess Gerritsen navikli biti.
Ovaj roman povezuje tri naizgled posve nepovezana slu膷aja poku拧aja ubojstva djece, 膷iji su roditelji u sva tri slu膷aja tako膽er smrtno stradali, a bilo da se radilo o ubojstvu ili nesre膰i, ono se dogodilo u ne posve jasnim okolnostima. Svo troje djece igrom je slu膷aja (ili ba拧 i ne, kako 膰emo uskoro saznati) smje拧teno u posebnu 拧kolu kojom upravlja Maurin stari prijatelj (koji 膰e vam, ako ste 膷itali serijal, biti itekako poznat) Anthony Sansone.
艩kola Evensong nalazi se na zaba膷enom podru膷ju i jako je dobro osigurana. Ipak, kod ovakve vrste prijetnje, za o膷ekivati je da 膰e ubojice poku拧ati sve 拧to god mogu da dovr拧e svoj posao. Mogu li se ubojice uvu膰i u tako strogo za拧ti膰eno podru膷je kakvo je Evensong, tko zapravo stoji iza svih tih poku拧aja ubojstava, i mogu li Jane i Maura za拧tititi tu djecu od nepoznatih, vrlo dobro obu膷enih profesionalaca spremnih na sve?
Osim dobre stare detektivske pri膷e i svih elemenata trilera kakve Tess Gerritsen u svojim romanima uspije vrsno izmije拧ati, u ovom romanu dobili smo i ne拧to dodatnih elemenata prave 拧pijunske akcije na 膷elu s vrsnim agentima ubojicama, a budu膰i da se dobar dio radnje odvija u 拧koli Evensong, rekla bih da ovdje imamo i da拧ak dark academie. Sve je to, naravno, izmije拧ano u napetu i uzbudljivu zavrzlamu koju Jane i Maura trebaju na vrijeme rije拧iti.
Nakon 膷ak deset romana i mnogo toga 拧to se tijekom tih deset romana dogodilo u 啪ivotima glavnih junakinja, mo啪da biste pomislili da 膰e Jane i Maura malo stati na loptu ili usporiti, ali bili biste u krivu. Ovaj istra啪iteljski duo jednako je posve膰en svom poslu i traganju za istinom ba拧 kao i prvog dana, samo se sada imaju s puno vi拧e toga nositi nego prije, prvenstveno Jane, uzimaju膰i u obzir njenu ulogu majke i opasnosti koje njen posao nosi za njenu obitelj, pogotovo kada je posao odvede na put visoko istreniranih ubojica s neograni膷enim resursima, spremnih na sve.
Tko stoji iza zamr拧ene mre啪e ubojstava i poku拧aja ubojstava oko kojih se vrti radnja ovog romana, te拧ko je uop膰e i naslutiti, a kada se slika ubojice kona膷no iskristalizira, iznenadit 膰ete se. Ono 拧to je u romanima o Rizzoli i Isles uvijek prisutno i 拧to ih 膷ini jo拧 vi拧e zanimljivima su i privatni 啪ivoti Jane i Maure, koji ne prestaju biti i kaoti膷ni i zabavni i zbog kojih nam se lak拧e s njima dvjema povezati. A iznena膽enja tako膽er ne manjka. Tako je Maura ovdje nagovijestila svojevrsnu prekretnicu u svom 啪ivotu, za koju me ba拧 zanima kamo 膰e ju odvesti.
Ako volite ovaj serijal, keep up the good work. ;) Ako jo拧 niste upoznali Jane i Mauru, krajnje je vrijeme. Ali predla啪em da 膷itanje zapo膷nete redom, od Kirurga pa nadalje. This is the way.

Ono 拧to je u romanima o Rizzoli i Isles uvijek prisutno i 拧to ih 膷ini jo拧 vi拧e zanimljivima su i privatni 啪ivoti Jane i Maure, koji ne prestaju biti i kaoti膷ni i zabavni i zbog kojih nam se lak拧e s njima dvjema povezati. A iznena膽enja tako膽er ne manjka. Tako je Maura ovdje nagovijestila svojevrsnu prekretnicu u svom 啪ivotu, za koju me ba拧 zanima kamo 膰e ju odvesti.
Ako volite ovaj serijal, keep up the good work. ;) Ako jo拧 niste upoznali Jane i Mauru, krajnje je vrijeme. Ali predla啪em da 膷itanje zapo膷nete redom, od Kirurga pa nadalje. This is the way.

Drei Kinder, die als einzige 脺berlebende den Massakern an ihrer Familie entkamen. Drei Kinder, die in ihren Pflegefamilien die Chance auf ein neues Leben bekommen sollen. Drei Kinder, deren Pflegefamilien genauso brutal ermordet werden wie ihre richtigen Familien. Wieder sind es nur diese Kinder, die 眉berleben.
W盲re das nur einmal passiert, w盲re es schon h枚chst seltsam. Dass sich diese Geschichte innerhalb k眉rzester Zeit dreimal wiederholt, kann kein Zufall sein.
Eine weitere Gemeinsamkeit ist, dass alle Kinder durch mysteri枚se Abwicklungen im Internat Abendruh landen 鈥� ein abgelegenes Schloss, das versucht, die Sch眉ler durch h枚chste Sicherheitsma脽nahmen zu sch眉tzen. Finanziert durch die geheimnisvolle Mephisto-Gruppe. Auch Anthony Sansone, zu dem Maura Isles sich irgendwie hingezogen f眉hlt, geh枚rt zum Aufsichtsrat der Schule, weshalb Rizzoli und Isles der Schule grunds盲tzlich schon vertrauen. Und trotzdem, irgendwie gibt es zu viele Zuf盲lle in dieser Angelegenheit. Und wie sicher ist Abendruh wirklich? Schon bald zeigt sich, dass die Kinder auch innerhalb der Schlossmauern nicht sicher vor Bedrohung sind.

Ich wei脽 auch nicht, was los ist. Vor einigen Jahren habe ich durch Zufall mal einen Rizzoli- & Isles-Krimi in die H盲nde bekommen und fand ihn super spannend, sodass ich wirklich Lust bekommen habe, mehr aus dieser Reihe zu lesen. Seitdem waren aber fast alle B盲nde eher mittelm盲脽ig und dadurch etwas entt盲uschend.
Vielleicht liegt es auch insgesamt an amerikanischen Thrillern, die mit ihrem Actiongehalt und ihren haneb眉chenen Twists einfach absurd und unrealistisch wirken.
Bei diesem Krimi hier war schon die Ausgangslage so unfassbar konstruiert, dass mich die Handlung zwar interessierte, aber 眉berhaupt nicht in sich einsaugen konnte. Man liest es halt wie so ein unbeteiligter Beisteher. Spannend ist es schon, aber man f眉hlt trotzdem nicht richtig mit.
Gefallen haben mir hingegen die Schule Abendruh als Ort an sich (alte Schl枚sser, Internate, voll mein Ding) und einige der Charaktere, vor allem Sansone fand ich interessant.
Kurzweilige Lekt眉re, hinterl盲sst aber kaum bleibenden Eindruck. Wenn ich das Buch in 3 Jahren nochmal lesen w眉rde, k枚nnte ich mich vermutlich an nichts gro脽 erinnern.

Knjiga koju ne ispu拧ta拧.
May 27, 2019
Tai jau de拧imtoji Tess knyga su detektyve Ricoli. Man laaabai patinka Tess knygos. Pasirodo,jog pernai perskai膷iau net septynias 拧ios autor臈s knygas.
Tad galite nujausti kokie mano santykiai su Tess knygomis.
Tedis - keturiolikmetis berniukas, kuriam per savo trump膮 gyvenim膮 teko patirti daug skaud啪i懦 netek膷i懦. Vos prie拧 dvejus metus buvo i拧啪udyta visa jo 拧eima. Ir tik jis vienintelis liko gyvas. Pra臈jus dvejiems metams scenarijus ir v臈l gi pasikartoja, ta膷iau 拧寞 kart膮 啪奴sta jo glob臈jai.. Ir v臈l gi Tedis yra tas, kuris vienintelis liko gyvas.. Sutapimas? Smarkiai abejoju.
Berniukas, kuris v臈l liko be savo 拧eimos yra pavedamas D啪ein臈s Ricoli prie啪i奴rai. D啪ein臈 nieko nelaukdama j寞 i拧gabena i拧 Bostono. 漠 nuo拧al懦 ir ma啪ai kam 啪inom膮 Ivensongo pensionat膮, kuriame prieglobst寞 randa vaikai, kuriems taip pat teko patirti pana拧ius i拧gyvenimus kaip ir Ted啪iui.
Kuomet detektyv臈 susipa啪寞sta su dar dviem vaikais - Klere ir Vilu, jai tampa ai拧ku, jog 拧ioje istorijoje per daug pana拧um懦 ir ka啪kas dar yra nusitaik臋s 寞 拧iuos vaikus.
Kaip ir visuomet padeda Moros Ailz, D啪ein臈 imasi narplioti paslaptingos bylos ir viliasi, jog pavyks u啪b臈gti 寞vykiams u啪 aki懦.. Jog neb奴t懦 nusine拧tos dar trys niekuo d臈tos gyvyb臈s..
Ne啪inau kaip Jums, bet mane Tess prikausto nuo pa膷io pirmojo puslapio. Tiesiog norisi versti knygos puslapius ir su啪inoti kas u啪 viso to slypi. 艩i istorija mane lygiai taip pat 寞trauk臈. Knygoje daug netik臈t懦 ir nenumatyt懦 siu啪eto vingi懦.Intriga i拧laikyta iki pat paskutiniojo puslapio ir skaitant knyg膮 yra sunku nusp臈ti kas yra kas. Man labai patiko! Dar kart膮 galiu dr膮siai teigti, jog man Tess - detektyv懦 karalien臈. Beliko vos pora knyg懦 su Ricoli ir Ailz.. Bus li奴dna,kuomet baigsiu 拧i膮 serij膮. Tikiuosi, jog pavyks atrasti ka啪k膮 pana拧aus.
