“What is it that they sing in Hello Dolly ? "It's so nice to see you back where you belong?" After a bit of a stray into dog mysteries and (auto)biographies, I was back in the blood and gore of a medical mystery. This is apparently book 1 of 5 (so far) featuring Detective Jane Rizzoli of the Boston P.D., hot on the trail of "The Surgeon," a killer who strips his victims, ties them spread eagle to the bed and then proceeds to surgically remove their uteruses, all while they are awake.
His principal target seems to be Dr. Catherine Cordell, who escaped "The Surgeon's" predecessor two years ago. That man has now been executed and it appears that there is a copy cat who knows just a bit too much about how the previous murders were committed. He is intent on finishing the job on Dr. Cordell which his predecessor did not.
Lots and lots of blood and gore in this one, and enough suspenseful and chilling incidents to satisfy the most ardent of thriller devotees.”
