One of my favorite of the series. I liked the new characters in this plot and Rizzoli and Isles were in top form...it was a difficult book to put down.Of course, part of my enjoyment was that Detective Darren Crowe had to eat crow. A little comeuppance for certain characters is always nice to see.

Last to Die is another excellent entry in the Rizzoli & Isles series. Tess Gerritsen doesn't disappoint! She will keep the reader turning the pages trying to figure out, along with Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, what is happening and then at the end throws a curve ball that leaves the reader surprised.Jane is called to horrific murder scene in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. Two adults and three children have been murdered. The only survivor is fourte...

For fourteen-year-old Teddy Clock, death has struck twice. When he was twelve, his family was murdered; Teddy somehow survived but does not remember anything about the incident. Now, two years later, when his foster family is slaughtered, Boston detective Jane Rizzoli takes him under her wing. Not without reservation, she whisks him off to a boarding school called Evensong, a remote castle-like structure where he will be safe. With two near misses, will there be a third attempt? Will Teddy Clock...

Why would someone kill the families of three different children then slaughter the families that adopted them? That’s the basic premise of Last To Die and it’s a good one. Unfortunately, Gerritsen doesn’t deliver what could have been a great book.On the plus side, she didn’t give us another serial killer novel – something she’s overly fond of. On the minus side, too much of the story was told from outside the main characters’ point of view. Ahem, Ms. Gerritsen, this is a Rizzoli & Isles book; th...

Simply delicious to the last drop! Tess Gerritsen always delivers a great read, but Last to Die is an especially tasty treat. Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles are at their best in this blood chilling tale about three teens who have each survived two massacres involving their families and their foster families. Leave it to Jane and Maura to discover that the latest multiple homicide in Boston leaving 14-year-old Teddy Clock as the sole survivor is far from an unlucky home invasion. Teddy along with t...

Detective Jane Rizzoli is called into work to help on a homicide. A family has been slaughtered. Fourteen-year-old foster child Teddy Clock is the lone survivor. Teddy hid during the carnage, running to the neighbors when the coast was clear. As Jane questions Teddy, she finds that he was placed in foster care two years ago after his own family was killed in an explosion. When someone tries to kill Teddy once again, Jane contact Maura Isles who is at a boarding school in Maine visiting a young f...

4*This is book 10 in the Rizzoli series and I recommend that you read them in order. You should also be prepared for differences between the books and the tv series. My wife and I like both. Most of Gerritsen's books tend to be a bit creepy, but this one is super creepy. A murder takes place in Boston's Beacon Hill, a very rich, exclusive neighborhood. Two adults and their 3 children are murdered. The only survivor is their foster child, Teddy Clock. Teddy's parents were murdered in the US Virgi...

I'll be narrating this title. I've narrated two of the Rizzoli & Isles series and I can't tell you how much I LOVE this series and the characters. So excited to see what happens next.

Claire Ward, Will Yablonski and Teddy Clock all have something in common. The three teens share a traumatic past where they not only survived attacks on their families but on the families who subsequently took them in after the deaths of their parents. Now, they’re all at Evensong, the school located in a remote area in Maine that is associated with Anthony Sansone. Jane Rizzoli is investigating the most recent attack perpetrated against Teddy’s foster family and she’s responsible for placing hi...

Gerritsen nails it again with another tautly written Rizzoli and Isles installment. A multi-layered book with a lot of changes in narration, but for me that just ratcheted up the tension. A totalpage turner!!In addition to our two super cool heroines, there were some great featured characters and shadowy figures who relentlessly pursued our youthful victims. Shades of Stephen King (maybe because of the unique boarding school or Gerritsen’s strong voices for her young teen characters) but in a go...

Last to Die definitely stands out as one of my favourite novels written by Tess Gerritsen along with Die Again and Playing with Fire. After finishing The Silent Girl, I actually intended to read either Finding Audrey or Three Dark Crowns, but I was cautious and eventually I opted once again for a novel belonging to my favourite genre. About 4 years ago I read Body Double, my first encounter with the Rizzoli & Isles book and ever since I've been coming back to this series eager and full of great

"Here's to you, Nicholas Clock."Tess Gerritsen has done it again in another fabulous installment in the ever popular Rizzoli and Isles Thriller series. The story goes of three Children who suffer the agony of having there parents and foster parents brutally killed. In every case after the deaths a mystery blonde women helps them before authorites arrive. After the deaths of the foster parents they go to Evansong wich is a boarding school that specialises in educating kids trying to cope with emo...

Very good read - Tess Gerritsen knows how to tell a story!

It feels like it's been way too long since the last 'Rizzoli & Isles' book and now I finished the most recent one within just a couple of hours. It had everything I was hoping for, everything you'd expect from Tess Gerritsen. Interesting characters, surprises, a tiny bit of fear and a storyline that has you unable to put the book down. Half way through the book I felt like I knew the new setting - in this case 'Evensong' - very well and it got easier to imagine that place and the mysteries going...

This was my first book in this series and my first by this author, however I watch the series on TV and like it very much. I thought the storyline was pretty good and moved at a good pace but the beginning of the book was much better than the end. Towards the end it became a little predictable, it had two twists which I only suspected one of. I liked the characters but the narrators male voices were not for me. All in all a good read.

THAT TWIST AT THE END!

*Genre* Mystery/Thriller*Rating* 3.5*Review*Last to Die, Rizzoli & Isles # 10, is a full throttle foot on the gas mystery/thriller that will leave readers gasping for air by the time they reach the end of this book. Gerritsen's writing and world building has once again left me on the edge of my seat wondering who the killer was and why they were after three teenagers who seemingly have lost everything they cherished.The basic synopsis of this story is that there are three unrelated teenagers who...

On the night that they were supposed to die, three kids in a different place and in a different time, escaped death. Their families are not so lucky though. Two years later, same thing happened.They escaped death the second time around but their foster families are killed.You know what I'm thinking? Last to Die is by far my favorite among the Rizzoli and Isles series. I mean, why not when there's a big castle turned into privtae school that offers cool lessons like archery, learning about poison...
