The Apprentice (Rizzoli & Isles, #2)
by
by

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.

Yes it is, Bgurl, although I've never watched the TV show.

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