![]() In the past, I've criticized Gerritsen's work for defining both of her main characters essentially through their relationships with the men in their life, or at least through attraction to them. The investigation into the standoff after its resolution brings more questions and answers, leading Rizzoli and Isles on a race to discover the young woman's horrible past before it can be covered up by the government. The woman breaks loose, and a hostage situation develops. ![]() When pregnant detective Jane Rizzoli's water breaks while she's in court, she ends up going to the same hospital. Forcibly restrained and sent to the hospital, the young woman continues fighting against her restraints as the authorities try to determine who she is. As she enters, one of the bodies rises up and begins getting violent. Pathologist Maura Isles is doing her routine work at the morgue when she hears a strange sound coming from the cooler where bodies are stored prior to dissection. ![]() While not completely perfect, this book is definitely at the top of my Gerritsen chart. ![]() I finished Vanish in a day, mainly because of the nearly flawless combination of plot, prose, and character. While Gerritsen has always been able to keep me reading, I've been able to put the book down to do other things occasionally. Tess Gerritsen just keeps churning out the extremely readable Jane Rizzoli/Maura Isles series of thrillers, and Vanish is her best one yet.
