Tess Gerritsen's background in medicine really shines in this installment of the Rizzoli and Isles series. The murderer is killing women and then using ancient preservation methods on the bodies--mummification, shrunken heads, and bog bodies. Maura, the forensic pathologist then has the challenge of doing postmortems on these mummified bodies. This is where Gerritsen's science knowledge makes a powerful impact on the series. I liked the ending of this as well with twist after twist.

Nice plot, interesting story, found a little bit difficult to understand how the process of mummification works but, overall, a good book. It's the first book I've read from this author but I'll definitely read more by her.

I just love this woman's writing and added to the fact this one is about my favorite TV program, Wow what could be better. This is a fast read book, started one night and it was done the next with breath holding parts.

Another fun story with Rizzolli and Isles. Interesting take on the world of archaeology and some fun tidbits about mummies, etc. Not the most original in the series, but then again, how creative can you be with the same characters re-hashed over and over again?
This was a good book in the series, very well written and plotted.....
