Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli is on the case of a big game hunter found dead in his apartment, alone with the body of a beautiful white snow leopard he had recently been commissioned to procure and stuff for a high-profile museum in the area. Medical examiner Maura Isles connects the case to a number of seemingly unrelated deaths where the victims have all been found hanging upside down, the hallmark of a leopard's kill. Rizzoli follows the puzzling trail of clues all the way to Botswana, where she uncovers the unsolved mystery of a deadly camping safari four years prior. When she realizes the two cases are connected, Rizzoli must track down the sole survivor of the tragic trip to discover who - or what - is behind these gruesome deaths.

Yay! After the little blip...IMHO.... with "The Last to Die", the good ol' slogan "it's gripping, it's gory, it''s Gerritsen" is true once more! 👍👍👍

A really good read where the duo link a death in Boston to several in Botswana some six years ago. There's certainly a bit of gore in this tale as there's plenty of evisceration going on though it all stays appropriate to the story & avoids drifting into schlock horror territory - mind you, leaving somethings to the reader's imagination is sometimes worse!

While both parts if the story were highly entertaining, I particulary enjoyed the safari tale where the situation was crafted so well I could nearly feel the tension & fear in the air! As in all good murder tales there's a twist & one which I only half-spotted! I as this was one of the rare occassions where the culprit got past me.

Glad that the series is back to the standard & style I love, roll on book 12.......

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did
