More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
If it's gripping, it's Gerritsen. Her stunning first thriller.
Product Description
THE FIRST BODY IS A MYSTERY.
She's young. She's beautiful. And her corpse, laid out in the office of Boston medical examiner Kat Novak, betrays no secrets - except for a matchbook clutched in one stiff hand, seven numbers scrawled inside.
THE NEXT BODY IS A WARNING.
When a second victim is discovered, Kat begins to fear that a serial killer is stalking the streets. The police are sceptical. The mayor won't listen. And Kat's chief suspect is one of the town's most prominent citizens.
THE FINAL BODY . . . MIGHT BE HERS.
With the death toll rising, Kat races to expose a deadly predator who is closer than she ever dreamt. And every move she makes could be her very last.

THE ONE STAR IS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON ONLY -
I really wish Amazon would make it clear when a book is published with a different title. I bought this thinking it was new only to find it's fifteen years old. Yes, maybe I should have read the review that states it was originally called 'Peggy Sue Got Murdered' and usually I do but customers shouldn't have to rely on reviews to find out this information. Amazon make a habit of this as I have read many reviews which state the same thing. How hard is it to add 'previously published as'?
As for the book itself, I usually finish a book in a day if it grips me. I bought this last week and am halfway through... It's not that it's not good and I appreciate it was her first novel but her later stuff, e.g. The Surgeon, The Apprentice etc are so brilliant, it can't compare. I do enjoy all her books and would recommend The Mephisto Club and the two mentioned previously. I will finish it as it is enjoyable so I would give the book itself THREE STARS.

This is a good read. Maybe not as good as some of her later books, but she was changing over from romance novels to detective/suspense novels. I think that it is well written, and certainly worth buying if you like Tess Gerritsen. The plot was good and the story held my attention to the last page.

Once again Tess Gerritsen has written a book hard to put down. Although the original story is still there it has been brought right up to date. This book takes you back to the young Tess Gerritsen showing a side of writing that is not in her thrillers. Loved it.

Quality
Quality and delivery very good. Standard of storyline compares with Tess Gerritsons previous novels with a surprise ending which is becoming customary

Awful - couldn't even finish it
The only Tess Gerritsen I have read previously ( I think ) is The Killing Place and I enjoyed that. But this was dire. Read more

Extremely pleased
Product arrived exactly as described and in excellent time given our somewhat haphazard postal service. Very pleased and would not hesitate to do business with this seller gain. Read more

immature writing
I love Tess's books normally but was disappoinetd in this one and it felt more 'Mills and Boon' than one of her later books. Read more

A good first novel
It is quite obvious that this is Tess Gerritsen's first novel. The plot is tentative and the characterisation slightly abrupt and cliched, but towards the end the pace picks up and... Read more

not very good
Although the book is an easy read, it is clear the author is new to writing crime fiction. The characters are rather one dimensional, mills and boon figures. Read more

Too much 'Mills & Boon'
I love Tess Gerritsen as a writer - she usually keeps me reading well into the night and when I should be doing something else. Read more

not as good as her others
This was ok but I expected more from the Author. Having re-read the reviews I now know this was a re-hash and may explain everything. Read more

Will definitely read more Gerritsen!
This book was given to me as a gift at Christmas. I had heard of Gerritsen but probably wouldn't have bought one of her books myself as I generally prefer British based novels. Read more

Gerristen with both Romance and Crime - well blended
I suppose that I have been quite lucky in not reading 'Peggy Sue got Murdered'. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Read more
