Keeping the Dead Rizzoli Isles series 7 Tess Gerritsen 9780553818376 Books

I originally had another review written and it wasn't a very good one. To be honest with you, I wrote this review not having read the other six Rizolli/Isles books. What a difference the storyline takes when you read them in order!

So I re-read the book and found that it is a very good book and knowing the background of the characters is extremely helpful to the storyline. As in other Ms. Gerritsen's books, there are small sub plot lines that add to the main storyline. It gives you a background into the characters that she created and give you, the reader, a camaraderie with them. Very nicely done! Ms. Gerritsen picks subjects that are different from other authors and weaves them into a solid story which you will enjoy. Another great read!!

Keeping the Dead Rizzoli Isles series 7 Tess Gerritsen 9780553818376 Books Reviews

I have only read a few of Gerritsen's books and confess to being disappointed in them in that in every case Rizzoli takes over the book, she becomes the main character. I had hopes Doctor Maura Isles would be lead and there would be more fascinating discoveries, that a less competent M.E. would never have noticed or known what they were, and thus added more interest instead of degenerating into a conventional multiple murder mystery. But a thousand year old mummy becomes a centuries old mummy, and other fascinating and off beat body preservation methods are mentioned, if head shrinking can be classified as a body preservation method. A discussion of these preservation's means is given but is not necessary to the solution; I wanted them to be more meaningful even if it meant only one method were chosen for all, however the explanation of them did contribute to my interest in the book. However tracking down of the killer is what the book really is all about, isn't it? After all, it is a suspense novel and the customary conflicts, false trails, hidden motives, and, hopefully, the killer is kept concealed from suspicion up until near the climax or end of the book.
The above is a general review to explain the three rating, and why not a four or five although the interest is at a higher level. It is now necessary to be more explicit and follow the book. A mummy is found in a private museum with little provenance to guide the caretakers. It is found to be only hundreds of years old, not thousands and has advanced dental fillings and a bullet in its ankle. These discoveries cause the entire holdings of the museum to come under scrutiny. Bog preservation and skin shrinking are found in other artifacts. A recently hired archaeologist gets tangled in the investigation, we are informed that she holds a false name, that she and her mother had been fleeing undisclosed pursuers for years. Peelings are slowly unwrapped from these discoveries, the woman is kidnapped and detective Rizzoli goes into high mode and finds out facts about the museum owners and donors, eventually leading to a resolution and Doctor Isles gets lost in the rush. All these complications hold our interest and create suspense, however why they happen when they do is not always explained satisfactorily. Still, it did make an interesting read.
The book opens with a flashback before jumping into the present day like most of Gerritsen's books. When we got to the present, Dr. Isles is joining a team that is about to uncover an ancient mummy. During the process, they find out that the mummy, nicknamed Madam X isn't a mummy from ancient times. Rather, she is a murder victim who years ago. More corpses turn up of women who have been murdered and whose bodies were preserved in nearly the same manor as that of Madam X. One of staff members of the Crispin Museum has dark secret and might seem to know more than she is telling the Police. Apart from that, there is also some development in Maura and Jane's private lives as well a major change in Detective Frost's.

Personally I felt that the archaeology angle almost stole the show here, but it was still interesting to learn about some those facts. If Ms. Gerritsen ever does decide to write an adventure novel, I bet it would an interesting read. There are plenty of twists in here that will keep you guessing. One of the most important things in mystery writing is surprising (and maybe even shocking) the reading with a revelation that they would never have seen coming. And that is one of the highlights of this book. So I strongly recommend anyone to read it.
This was my first experience using Whisper-sync, so bear that in mind. I found the book intriguing, and that was in spite of the distractions that come with listening while doing other things, as opposed to sitting and reading. Some things I found predictable perhaps might not have been to someone with less experience with the author or the genre. If I had read this 20 years ago, I think I would have rated it "full of surprises." As it was, I found the predictable parts comfortable in their familiarity, and in keeping with the characters. Sometimes too much "surprise twist" just strains credulity, and that never happens in the book. The characters remain human, and having characters the reader cares about builds suspense better than surprise twists, because being invested in the characters makes the reader worry about them, as though they are friends in actual peril. That happens in this book.
Gerritsen is the master of putting all of the little pieces together to form one large puzzle. Her earlier novels displayed her penchant for lifelike and likable characters, dramatic issues, and surprising plot twists. This book marks a step forward in her development as a writer in the detective/mystery genre as she spins riddles and clues with ever increasing skill.
As with classic mystery novels, there are red herrings and layers of plot development That intertwine. It started a little slow, but quickly picked up speed as Gerritsen displays yet again her talent for creating tense, creepy scenes utilizing setting and atmospheric elements to build suspense. All of the characters/suspects are introduced early in the story, and when the end arrives it left me feeling like I could have solved the puzzle but did not.
It reads quickly and easily, the skill not in the complexity, but rather in the twists and turns of deft plotting. I also enjoyed the Mephisto Club appearances and theories.
Highly recommended for fans of the mystery genre.
