For the second time in his short life, fourteen-year-old Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Orphaned once more when his foster family is murdered, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn—until the Boston PD puts Detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn vital skills of survival. But even behind locked gates, Jane fears that Evensong’s benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. And when she learns of two other students whose pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim in mind. Joining forces with medical examiner Maura Isles, Jane races to stop an obsessed killer’s twisted quest—before an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s fate.

Tess Gerritsen's tenth Rizzoli and Isles book, Last To Die, is a taut, highly enjoyable thriller. In this book, we follow homicide detective Rizzoli and medical examiner Isles as they team up to save three orphans. These orphans have one major thing in common: they are each survivors of not one, but two family massacres that killed both their birth families and their foster families. The three orphans are placed in Evensong Boarding School in Maine, which is run by the mysterious Mephisto Society. Evensong is a place where young people who are victims of violent crime are taught survival skills. I'll hold off on any spoilers here, but suffice it to say that the tragedies in these three orphans' lives appear to be interconnected, as the story twists and turns towards a violent and tense conclusion. The secret behind the three orphans' stories goes way back in time and space, even into a different country.
Gerritsen mixes personal details of her main characters (Rizzoli and Isles) into the story, allowing us to learn more about them, even ten books in. Overall, this one is a solid, fun read. Fans of the TNT television show will really enjoy it.
There are two things I like about Gerritsen and this series. First, I enjoy being able to just jump into a book, already knowing and liking the main characters. Now, with the television series, there are even real faces attached to the names, albeit actors. Second, as a physician, I enjoy reading books by other doctors. Gerritsen is perhaps the most successful physician fiction writer since the late Michael Crichton.
If you enjoy Gerritsen's books and books with a medical bent, then I highly recommend the following: Dr.
A new Tess Gerritsen novel is always a cause for celebration. The publication of LAST TO DIE is a particularly welcome event for a number of reasons. First of all, the book plausibly removes both Boston Police Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles from the familiar, if not always comfortable, Massachusetts environment. Secondly, it features the return of the mysterious Mephisto Society, a group of dedicated individuals whose lives have been tragically touched by what they consider to be the collective action of evil. A third reason --- one that a number of long-time readers may find most significant --- is that the book shows signs of renewed warmth between the two principal characters, whose relationship has cooled a bit over the last couple of installments.
While LAST TO DIE may contain all of the above elements, the most compelling reason for reading it is that the entire narrative is propelled by an exciting and puzzling mystery. It begins when Rizzoli and Isles find themselves at a crime scene where almost all the members of a family --- husband, wife and three foster children --- have been brutally murdered. There is but one survivor: 14-year-old Teddy Clock, who was able to escape being killed by hiding under his bed. What is unusual is that Teddy also escaped death two years previously, when his parents were murdered while the family was living on a boat off the Virgin Islands.
Subsequently, Isles journeys to Maine to the Evensong boarding school. Run by the Mephisto Society, Evensong is now home to Julian, the teenager whose life became intertwined with hers under dangerous circumstances a year previously.
