Female dective Jane Rizzoli, always struggling to be better than the boys, tries to solve a string of serial murders that seem linked to a killer that she put away. The murders apppear to send a message directly to her, filling her with fear and therefore making her vulnerable to an impending attack on her.

Mystery and thriller lovers. If you love a medical thriller this one will leave you chilled with satisfaction.

Delving more deeply into the character of Jane Rizolli who had a side part in the previous Tess Gerritsen novel "The Surgeon".

Reread "The Surgeon" and reacquaint myself with the killer and with Dective Rizzoli and how it all started.

Spooked at times, yet thirsting for more. I wanted to spend more time getting to know the characters and I hope to see them again in future Tess Gerritsen novels.

Writes as if she is a combination of Robin Cook, Michael Chriton and Patricial Cornwell.

It was fast paced, well written and the characters had depth. The killer was all too real, he could be anyone.

The Apprentice was one of those books that you can't seem to put down and it ends all too quickly. I'm looking forward to the next Tess Gerritsen novel.
