Fresh Fiction Review

Die Again
Tess Gerritsen

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter
Posted December 13, 2014

Thriller Police Procedural

The crime scene is horrific with the victim, big-game hunter and world-renowned taxidermist Leon Gott, sustaining claw marks to his gutted body. The implications are unbelievable for Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles as they examine the corpse and the setting of the murder. As Maura heeds what the man's remains are telling her, she's convinced the killer has done this before. Convincing Jane to investigate further, a series of similar murders is uncovered in various remote locations. Then Jane uncovers a link between Gott and the massacre of a safari group in Botswana six years ago—where only one person survived. Could that cunning predator, who's been honing his skills for so long, be hunting in Boston? If so, how are they going to stop him? It will take all the combined expertise Rizzoli and Isles possess to solve this chilling and bizarre case. Tess Gerritsen excels at delving into the criminal mind and describing forensic procedure. The plot of DIE AGAIN is intellectually precise and masterfully developed. Dealing with the elements of the case further enhances Rizzoli and Isles' complex relationship. Moreover, the riveting, well-crafted story arc and its resolution will greatly satisfy fans of this exceptional series.

SUMMARY

Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are back—and they’re going into the wild to find a killer. Die Again is the latest heart-pounding thriller in Tess Gerritsen’s New York Times bestselling series, the inspiration behind TNT’s hit show Rizzoli & Isles. When Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are summoned to a crime scene, they find a killing worthy of the most ferocious beast—right down to the claw marks on the corpse. But only the most sinister human hands could have left renowned big-game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott gruesomely displayed like the once-proud animals whose heads adorn his walls. Did Gott unwittingly awaken a predator more dangerous than any he’s ever hunted? Maura fears that this isn’t the killer’s first slaughter, and that it won’t be the last. After linking the crime to a series of unsolved homicides in wilderness areas across the country, she wonders if the answers might actually be found in a remote corner of Africa. Six years earlier, a group of tourists on safari fell prey to a killer in their midst. Marooned deep in the bush of Botswana, with no means of communication and nothing but a rifle-toting guide for protection, the terrified tourists desperately hoped for rescue before their worst instincts—or the wild animals prowling in the shadows— could tear them apart. But the deadliest predator was already among them, and within a week, he walked away with the blood of all but one of them on his hands. Now this killer has chosen Boston as his new hunting ground, and Rizzoli and Isles must find a way to lure him out of the shadows and into a cage. Even if it means dangling the bait no hunter can resist: the one victim who got away.
