Book Reviews of The Keepsake: A Novel
Book Review: "The Keepsake" is a Keeper!
Summary: 5 Stars
In her latest crime thriller featuring crack Boston Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli, Tess Gerritsen's found a creative new wrinkle in the genre, blending archeology, psycophathy and obsession in this captivating new novel.
From the gripping opening chapter right through to the last pages, this book never lets up. Fast-paced with rich characterizations; flawless plotting and pacing; fascinating science; and not a wasted word anywhere.
If you're like me, and try to anticipate the twists ahead while you're reading, you'll find yourself regularly surprised as the story unfolds.
This is, flat out, one of the most entertaining books I've read all summer. Get it!
Book Review: Tess Gerritsen At Her Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read some good books this summer, but this was the first I had difficulty putting down, even to eat or sleep. It was the good doctor _ Tess _ at her creepy best. In fact, I would rate it as her strongest book yet.
Earlier reviews have given enough of the plot, without too many spoilers, that there is no sense rehashing the book.
If you are looking for a book with excellent medical and police procedures, sympathetic good guys, using the word inclusively, and thoroughly rotten and evil bad guys, buy it or borrow it from your town or city library.
Book Review: Another Hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
No one does it quite like Gerritsen! Her main characters, Maura Isles (medical examiner) and Jane Rizzoli (detective) are not just hero type characters who solve crime. Both are women who have issues and who have evolved and continue to evolve throughout the series on a personal level. Take that, and add in gruesome murders, forensic and medical details, some history and you have a winner. I used to be a fan of Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta, but Tess Gerritsen has kicked Cornwell off of my reading list and replaced Scarpetta with Dr. Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli.Book Review: The Keepsake
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book immensely. If you are interested in archaeology and/or eqyptology combined with a good murder mystery, you are going to love this book.
It is impossible to write a 75 to 300 word review without giving too much of the story away except to say that Ms. Gerritsen throws in enough twists and turns to satisfy any armchair sleuth. She keeps you guessing and rapidly turning the pages right up to the very end of her novel.
I will definately buy more of her books.
Book Review: I LOVED IT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought the book was great. I loved the setting and subject matter - great for a thriller. Whoever does not like this book, in my opinion, doesn't like Tess Gerritsen. Jane is a wonderful character, I love her. This book was sooo interesting and a real page turner for me, but I didn't want it to end!!!S.L.
