Search - The Mephisto Club (Jane Rizzoli, Bk 6)

This is an action packed psychological novel about the analysis of evil. Following a series of grisly murders, a police detective, a medical examiner, and a strange, very wealthy group of scholars who study religious symbolism and historical data, join forces. Strong characters challenge each other's deeply held beliefs as they struggle to understand and stop the evil killer in their midst while dealing with their own personal relationships.

On Christmas morning, a young woman is murdered and dismembered. Medical Examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli quickly link the murder to Psyhicatrist Joyce O'Donnell, a member of the Mephisto Club...a club that devotes itself to the analysis of evil. But when another murder occurs on the doorstep of the club, the members begin to suspect that they are the real target.

This is a dark psychological mystery which touches on satanic possession, secret societies and celibacy in the church. The plot seemed a little slow in the middle of the book. I just wanted to get through all of the mythology and historical data and learn who the murderer was. Definitely not a favorite in the series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

Tess is an exceptional forensic writer! Details are immense and they drag you through the emotions of the character! So much so that there were points when I had to put it down because I nearly got sick.

Absolutely intriguing! I would highly recommend reading.
