Helpful Score: 5
The Sinner is a tight, believable, well-crafted tale. While the seasoned Gerristen fan will catch on to who's who and what's really going on about halfway through, it keeps your interest and all comes together nicely in the end. The character of Rizzoli softens a bit in this novel and we learn more about Maura Isles' past. Recommended.

I wasn't aware this was part of a series when I began this novel. I still loved every page, never got lost. I'm going back to read the ones that came first. Tess Gerritsen is a master at suspence and anticipation..

This is your typical fast-paced, complex story from Ms. Gerritsen. Fans won't be disappointed in its history of Maura Iles and her mysterious ex-husband. The story wove its way through several settings and ended up in a place I didn't think it would; but that's good because I like surprises. Oddly, the title character figures into the story in a different way than you would think. Recommended for thriller fans and fans of the always-entertaining Tess Gerritsen.
Helpful Score: 1
A Richly textured thriller with a dark core of mass murder and affairs of the heart. Dark emotions and dangerous secrets permeate this unusually chilling novel.
Helpful Score: 1
A fast-paced, suspenseful plot, beginning with the brutal murder of a young nun and ending with a personal betrayal. Good book to curl up with before the fire, but don't expect to sleep until you've turned that last page!
