It amazes me that Tess Gerritsen is able to write such awesome thrillers, time after time. And yet she does, proving that she is, quite simply, at the top of her game--and at the top of the psychological thriller/mystery genre!
Many others have outlined the plot of THE MEPHISTO CLUB, so let me just say a few things: this is a great storyline, original, and handled deftly. The action-adventure is non-stop throughout the book, and although you know, basically from the beginning of the story, who the bad guy is, it doesn't stop the book from being interesting and intriguing.
I loved that Father Brophy and Dr. Maura Isles finally "got together," but I need this relationship to go beyond THE THORN BIRDS!! There has got to be a resolution to this plot line, and soon!
My only complaint with the story is Jane Rizzoli, who I actually love. However, her hard-a**, morally superior attitude in this book ticked me off. I want to see the softer side of Jane, the nurturing mother side, the love of Gabriel's life side--as well as the the tough-as-nails, ball-buster homicide detective.
Believe me, though, THE MEPHISTO CLUB is another winner!
One of my favorite authors. Always a good read. This time the protagonist is kind of creepy. A really good book.

Another good book by Tess Gerritsen. There were times I couldn't follow some of the info but overall, I'd recommend to anyone.

The best Rizzoli/Isles book yet. Finished it in a few days because I couldn't put it down!
Action packed, entertaining and compulsively readable. Very powerful story that will haun you long after the last page is turned. A tense, taute thriller that grabs readers from the get-go and never lets up.
Very Enjoyable!!!
Ooooh so good - a must read. Interesting and different storyline than any other I've read. A quick read that leaves you thinking long after you've closed the pages - while trying to sleep . . .
This is an absolutely excellant book. I've recently been introduced to Ms. Gerritsen, and I must say, the novels I've read so far have been captivating.
Great suspense and scary. Hard to put this one down!
this book was very good,kept me guessing clear to the end who was doing the killing and still wasn't sure till the last chapter.
Excellent character development. Enough suspense to keep you reading without wanting to put it down. Plenty of twists and in the end, you are surprised by the climax.
