![]() ![]() Why you should avoid this book: Body Double is a big, lazy slip from the previous three books in this series. It wouldn’t kill you to read this book if there was nothing else kicking around the house, but it probably wouldn’t make you very happy, either. ![]() In fact, a big part of trudging through this book is the attachment to the characters that’s already been built up, including Maura and the very pregnant cop Jane Rizzoli, because you just can’t believe they’d succumb to such a mindless plot. The characters themselves are still pretty strong, but the plot just can’t do them the justice they deserve. Why you should read this book: Oh, it’s tough to think of a reason why it’s worth recommending this book over, or even with, Gerritsen’s previous three in the series, it really is. So who is this woman? And perhaps more importantly, was the look-alike the intended victim, or is a killer on the loose and after Maura? It gets worse, though, as in the darkness of night the cops mistook the shot woman for her, they looked so much alike. ![]() Synopsis: When medical examiner Maura Isles arrives home from a trip to find cops in front of her house, gathered around a car with a dead body inside, it’s obviously not good news. ![]() Reason for Reading: The first three books in the series ( The Surgeon The Apprentice The Sinner) had Gerritsen sitting on top of the forensic mysteries genre, in my opinion.
