I couldn't put this one down. I love the continuing storyline that began with The Surgeon. This is the second book, that up to this point, is a series of six. read them in order because you start to develope a relationship with these characters and you care what happens to them next.

It seems as if the Surgeon is back though he is still in prison. A disturbing pattern immerges. Then Rizzoli's worst nightmare comes true. You will want to read both the Surgeon and the Apprentice for a good scare.

This book will give most people the "creepy" feeling while reading it that someone is staring in your window - even if you live in the middle of nowhere! Tess has the knack for writing suspensfully and reading will also make you want to keep going until you come to the very last sentence. Great book and would recommend if you haven't read her before, but start with her book, The Surgeon first.

It is a boiling hot summer in Boston. Adding to the city's woes is a series of shocking crimes in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized -- a sadistic demand that ends indeath. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently put behind bars. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that's what Detective Jane Rizozoli thinks. Forced to reconfront the killer who scarred her -- literally and figuratively -- she is determind to finally end Hoyt's awful influence. But this time around, the vendetta is more vicious than she ever would have imagined.

-- Creepy but fun to read. The killer was who I suspected soon after their introduction, but it was still fun to read to the end --

Skillful, scary, and suspenseful. Takes place in Boston, with a serial killer brutalizing women while their husbands are forced to watch. You won't put it down -- I wanted to make sure he was caught.
