"Not knowing each other, we think the best of each other." - Tess Gerritsen, The Surgeon

Virtually every self-respecting crime series features a mix of partners, and alongside the detective(s) there's always support from another field: a writer, psychologist, doctor, etc. In this case, we have the medical examiner, Dr. Maura Isles.

It's a combination that works really well in a crime novel, and the series, thanks to the author's trained profession (an internist), boasts quite graphic descriptions of human anatomy.

I started this series because I received the first two volumes as a gift, and then I was hooked :-) So, if you like crime novels and are a fan of "Dr. House" or "The Pitt," I can wholeheartedly recommend this series.

And now, let's see how other readers perceive this story and if their impressions are as intense as those flowing from the pages of this series:

I love the Rizzoli & Isles series. This is where my adventure with crime novels began. I especially love those with descriptions of human anatomy and autopsies (occupational hazard). I recommend every Tess book - she will always be my favorite crime author!

A brilliantly written crime novel. It draws you in from the very beginning. I really liked the ending. Without unnecessary dragging out for half the book. The main character's personality is very well conveyed. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

This book definitely made me want to read more by this author. The action was fast-paced throughout, and once I started reading, it was genuinely hard to put down. I regret not starting with 'The Surgeon,' but it's already waiting on my nightstand :) I hope to be just as pleasantly surprised.

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Nest of Tables – What Are They, Who Are They For and How to Style Them

Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room? Rows of faded paperbacks, a set of encyclopaedias nobody ever finished, holiday souvenirs, a framed school photo and that one heavy atlas you pulled out on rainy afternoons. It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
