A new serial killer has come to Boston and Detective Jane Rizzoli is called to the latest crime scene when there are similarities to a former case she worked on which resulted in the capture and arrest of Warren “The Surgeon� Hoyt. Hoyt is now in prison, so these latest murders must be the work of a copycat. Then Hoyt escapes and it seems he’s now joined forces with this new killer, The Dominator.

This book was enjoyable enough, but disappointing as well. I was looking forward to reading about The Dominator and was hoping for his point of view (which wasn’t included). Instead all the focus went to Warren Hoyt so much that I felt like I was reading The Surgeon again, and unfortunately, that book wasn’t a favorite of mine. What I did like in this book was that Jane Rizzoli was front and center this time. I enjoyed the parts with her fellow cops, her interactions with them, the plotting and planning of the case, the stakeout. I enjoyed Dr. Maura Isles and her autopsies. I did prefer this book to The Surgeon, but in the end this book was still too much like The Surgeon for me.

I managed to catch the first episode of this show, which was based on this book, and it was pretty good.
