Gerritsen really does write interesting medical thrillers but this one veers off that path into Satanism and a study of pure evil. Jane Rizzoli is still the copy who investigates the crimes and Dr. Maura Isles, the medical examiner. Helping in the investigation is a group called the Mephisto Club who study evil in the hopes of containing the demons who have existed since the time of Adam's son, Seth. Apparently, there is a Book of Enoch which was left out fo the old Testament telling of fallen angels who impregnate human women, creating this demonic rae. I found the book to be quite thrilling with some surprising twists along the way, but did not enjoy the Satanic storyline. Just not my thing. Rating: 3.75

I agree. This is my least favourite of the whole series.
ReplyDeleteThis one felt forced to me. Like she already had the story plotted out and had to force Jane and Maura into it. It would have been better as a standalone.
Thankk you for sharing
