When you finish the new book you can go back and start from the beginning of the series: The Surgeon.

It has been a long time–five years–since we have had a new Rizzoli & Isles book. So fans are excited about Tess Gerritson‘s Book #13 in the series: LISTEN TO ME.

An international bestselling author, Tess Garritson bubbles with energy and enthusiasm. She has certainly found the joy of writing that I always talk about. I remember reading her first book in this popular series: THE SURGEON. I was impressed at the time, Jane Rizzoli was in it — but not Maura Isles. It took a while to get the series going and then it just blossomed into this amazing success. Million of books sold and award winning television series.

Fans will be happy to have the dynamic duo back — and this time with a big role for Jane Rizzoli’s mother, Angela.  As always, this is another intriguing crime story with many twists and turns. I particularly enjoyed the development of the mother/daughter relationship and the ending gives us the thrills we expected from Tess Gerritsen.

Mothers know best . . . But who will listen? Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are newly plagued by what seems like a completely senseless murder. Sofia Suarez, a widow and nurse who was universally liked by her neighbors, lies bludgeoned to death in her own home. But anything can happen behind closed doors, and Sofia seemed to have plenty of secrets in her last days, making covert phone calls to traceless burner phones. When Jane finally makes a connection between Sofia and the victim of a hit-and-run from months earlier, the case only grows more blurry. What exactly was Sofia involved in? One thing is clear: The killer will do anything it takes to keep their secret safe.

Special thanks to Tess Gerritsen. It was an honor to speak to such an enthusiastic writer–and I am already looking forward to her next book. It’s going to be a stand alone spy book. Yipee!
