The Keepsake (Abridged): A Rizzoli & Isles Novel Audiobook

" Another great one in the series. It took me a while to get into the subject matter on this one. But about halfway through the book I was hooked and neeeded to know what happened. Stayed up reading for 2 extra hours one night and had to force myself to go to bed as I had more to read. I appreciate that you don't have to have read the other books, but if you have read them there are pieces of the story that continues and you learn more about the main characters that you love. "

" This is a book series that definitely needs to be read in order. I liked this book, it had a great intense story. However, I checked it out because the others in the series were not available at my local library and it gave away many of the plot points of other books. I liked the story well enough, I just thought it focused more on other characters rather than the main characters of Jane and Maura. "

" I did like it but just not as good as her other ones in this series. "

" Very well written - I kept guessing if one of the characters was the suspicous using another name because of several hints, but I didn't not guess the right one. It kept me turning pages, so I nearly gave the book 5 stars. "

" A suspense story about a crazed serial killer with archaeological fetishes, featuring a tough lady detective and an equally tough lady forensics medical examiner. I gather this is the seventh in a series. I started out hating this book--the characters were all shallow and predictable, the dialogues trite, unlikely, or poorly written. (Someone gave me this to read on a plane.) What eventually redeemed the novel for me some was the way it escalated toward a climactic finish with a bit of a twist in the denouement, and the instructive reviews of such macabre but fascinating information as how to properly mummify a body, how to correctly shrink a human head, and how to creatively use a peat bog in diabolical ways. "

" Not as good as some of the other books in the series. With so much of it taking place in a museum, it kind of reminded me of the Pendergast books. This book focused a lot on archaeology and mummies, and I'm just not that into it, which made this one okay. "

" This one had a slightly different feel to for me. "

" I'm not usually one to solve a mystery, so I was disappointed to figure out the main twist in this story fairly early on. I realize that the reader has an unfair advantage over the investigators since the author shared insights from some of the other characters. Still, I felt like screaming at Rizzoli a few times for missing something that seemed very obvious to me. "

" For a while, the third act stumbled, especially as the author really had to stretch -- unconvincingly -- to include Isles in the conclusion. But the author rallied, and delivered a taut ending, resolving the mystery's loose ends (including the red herring) with two action-packed scenes. "

" This was pretty good. I had a hard time keeping characters straight as I read it very sporadicially. Was expecting a plot twist that never came and the twrist that came was all that clever but overall it was enjoyable. "

" Muito bom, muito suspense, policial.. recomendo "

" A real page turner. I loved that it centered around archeology and found the preservation of the victims fascinating! "

" I this is probably my least favorite book in the series so far. That's not to say it isn't good, it's definitely a solide novel. And the twists and turns kept me guessing. But the subject matter, with the archaeolgy and all that just wasn't my cup of tea. All in all it was a decent read. "

" Tess Gerritsen writes better thrillers than anyone on the market today. The pacing cracks right along. The tension keeps mounting - I was reading this on the subway and still felt chills as the killer's plan unfolded. "

" Book 7 of Rizzoli and Isles. Better than last book. "

" Tess Gerritsen's novels are a very good read. Many of them have endings that are unpredictable...which always wins me over. Nothing worse then starting a novel and knowing what will happen within the first 50 pages. "

" I throughly enjoyed this crime detective novel. "

" Awesome. I could not put it down. "

" just like the rest of the books in the series ,well writen good suspense builds up to the end. not bad "

" It was just ok . Something I read to put me to sleep at night "

" Not as good as all her other books in the series but still a good read............ "

" I didn't care enough about the characters to finish it. "

" I read this in one day while on vacation. Author doesn't disappoint with another great Rizzoli/Isles story. What I love is that she writes stories that are more than just whodunits. She does her research and provides an unusual background for the story. "

" There are just enough twists and turns but the plot is just a little long. The characters need to be developed a little more. "

" Chilling, as usual. No one knows quite how to terrify me like Tess Gerritsen :) "

" Another great Gerritsen book, loved it. Some of the coincidences go just a bit too far, however you can see past that for a gripping and interesting read. I love the descriptions of how the bodies are preserved, great stuff. "

" I enjoy her books; full of mystery; kept me reading. "

" Book 7 of Rizzoli and Isles. Better than last book. "

" Excellent scientific mystery - interesting info on forms of mummification - a good read "

" Previewed in audio and then read it. Much better in audio. mummies in Boston at the Crispen Museum. "

" The best and most intriguing (so far) of the Rizzoli & Isles series. A welcome comeback after the odd and unsatisfying Mephisto Club. "

" This started very strong, but was weaker at the finish, hence the 3 stars. Still good though. "

" Another Tess Gerritsen book that I really enjoyed. This book was a page turner and kept me guessing the entire time. "

" looks to be hit & is highly recomend the series "

" Nicely read audio book. Gerritson is very popular with library patrons, though I had never read any before. The theme of this one is archaeology, and it has plenty of gruesome scenes. Light reading for a long trip-not much to think about afterwards. "

" This is another good book from Tess Gerritsen. "

" Tess Gerritsen always has me on the edge of my seat! This book was no exception. Very good! "
