Search - The Sinner (Rizzoli & Isles, Bk 3)

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. When Maura, the medical examiner, is called to the Abby to determine cause of death of two nuns, she finds a gruesome double murder. The mystery thickens as she begins her autopsy to discover that the younger of the two nuns has very recently given birth. But what has happened to the baby and who was the father? The characters in this story are very interesting and the story is well developed. This is a page turner until the very end.

I enjoyed the plot. Like all well constructed detective novels, I closed the book feeling like I could have solved the mystery without the big reveal at the end if I had been paying more attention instead of just enjoying the ride. The only distraction was the style, which was in some places entirely too overblown for my taste.

I was intriqued by the subject matter from the get-go! The characters are well developed believable.

Medical Examiner Maura Isles is called to a cloistered convent. A brutal attack has left one nun dead and another critically injured. The brutal crime appears to be without motive. But the autopsy of Sister Camille shows that she gave birth shortly before she was murdered.

Great mystery. I certainly didn't figure out whodunit or the link between the murders. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

This was a good mystery featuring detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. I liked how they teamed together to solve the murders as well as learning more about their personal lives.

Good suspense, good read.
