I have been diving into this series for quite a while and still find them fresh and intriguing. Do start from the beginning though, with The Secret of the Stones.
Since I worked the election Saturday, I had to take an actual book because we can't use our electronic reading devices. I picked up a Tess Gerritsen Rizzoli and Isles book: The Keepsake. I think it I am going to like it; however the print is quite fine. Kindles have spoiled me what with adjustable fonts and all.
For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Bostons Crispin Museum. Dubbed Madam X, the recently rediscovered mummy is, to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact. But medical examiner Maura Isles discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpsehorrifying proof that this centuries-old relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the grisly remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a maniac is at large. Now Maura and Jane must unravel a murderers twisted endgame before the Archaeology Killer adds another chilling artifact to his monstrous collection.
