The Apprentice (Rizzoli & Isles, #2)

Man, I love this series!
I think I kinda wrote these books off as light and fluffy, because of the tv show. I've only watched a couple episodes but my mom loved it. The show Rizzoli & Isles was light and a little funny, think of a show like Bones or Castle. I love Bones but its not dark or heavy hitting. So I assumed (and we all know what happens when you assume) it would be closer to the tv show.
Its not... and in the best way.
In book 2 Jane Rizzoli is our main character but Maura Isles is still a side character. Once again Rizzoli is hunting a serial killer but this time she's doing it while battling a case of PTSD (not that she will admit it). She's joined in her hunt by a mysterious FBI agent who seems to be hiding something.
I'm not giving you more info because its important that you read book 1 The Surgeon in order to fully appreciate The Apprentice. Tess Gerritsen is now on my list of favorite authors. Her writing just pulls you in and paints such a vivid picture of the world she has created. The Apprentice is scary, suspenseful and dark.

Erin, I love your reviews. Lots of "meat" to them and good info. I did not care for the R&I TV show but will look for The Surgeon at the library next week, thanks to your review!
Thank you Lisa! I really appreciate your kind comment.I think I've seen an episode or two but I don't remember anything about it.
Thanks for this! Id not read the series as the show was meh!
I honestly loved the show. However, the books are far better. My daughter sent me one and I was hooked.
I’m late to the party on this series but really enjoying it!
It's a great series. I need to get back to it.
Im also starting the first book after watching the show. Both are great! Better late than never!
That's great nea! I hope you have fun!
I loved the TV show and just finished the second book. I loved the book just as much. So glad I picked them up.
Can someone explain to me how Rizzoli got free from her hands ducktaped behind her back to get her gun to shoot? I am still wondering in The Surgeon how Cordell managed to get a gun and shoot Hoyt as well…thought she was duct taped and it said Rizzoli’s gun was on the table next to her????? Please explain!
Kris, when Rizzoli was in the trunk she badly lacerated her head on a sharp screw on the inside of the lid. She must have torn through the tape with it.
Kris, sorry I don’t remember the Surgeon scene !!
