From Booklist
Last seen in The Sinner (2003), medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles has just returned from a trip to France to encounter a grisly discovery. A woman has been found shot to death in front of her home, and the woman is a dead ringer for Maura. The woman, whose name is Anna Leoni, turns out to be Maura's twin; both were given up for adoption 40 years ago. The mystery deepens when Officer Rick Ballard shows up and tells Maura and Detective Jane Rizzoli that Anna was on the run from an abusive boyfriend and under police protection. But that still doesn't answer the question of what led Anna to Maura's door, and that question leads Maura to trace her sister's steps to an old house in Maine. Things get even more perplexing when decades-old human bones are found nearby. The human remains lead Maura to her birth mother, Amalthea Lank, who is now in jail for the brutal murder of two women. Maura is unsure whether and how her mother is connected to Anna's death, and she's confused by her growing feelings for Rick, who may have been in love with her sister. Gerritsen's latest taut thriller is sure to appeal to fans who have followed Rizzoli and Isle's previous adventures.

I've decided to make this into a bookring! PM to join.

Sending this one all the way across the living room to MrFlakes. :)

Passed on to me by my wife as the first in a ring. I don't imagine this will take me long to read.

Liked this one quite a bit more than "The Sinner." Will be sending to jenvince in the next 1 to 2 days.

Will be dropped in the mail to jenvince today. Enjoy, everyone!

Has safely arrived in sunny California! :)

I really, really like this author, so couldn't pass this ring up! Have to finish one ring ahead of this, then will be able to dive in. Can't wait!

Just a little note that I'll be able to start this today.

This book was so good - I couldn't put it down! And so, I didn't!! Finished it in one shot (am happy the boyfriend had other plans tonight, but don't tell him I said that!). :)

I discovered this author because of BookCrossing and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read by her.

This book was no exception. Riveting!!

It is in the mail tomorrow to AMarie.

Arrived in Omaha, Nebraska! I need to finish one book ahead of this. I didn't realize I'd be getting this so fast! Please be patient! I'll hurry. Thanks for including me!

Pretty good. I only had one problem in reading this...I read a few pages-put it away then picked it up a day later and read a few pages and couldn't EXACTLY remember what I had read. So, the problem was...me...and that made it difficult to keep track of everything. I think that's why I didn't rave about the book. It is a good book and would of probably been better if I could of read it all in a few days! I DO plan on reading more from this author. This was my first Gerritsen book. Thanks so much for letting me in this bookring.

I am mailing tomorrow to Wiley90!

It arrived in the mail. I will read it next, so I can keep the bookring moving. I should get to it by the end of the week.

I liked it! I figured out some of the clues along the way, which is making my rating an 8 rather than a 9. I like it better when I'm not able to connect too many dots. But, it was still very well written and it kept my interest. My husband is going to read it too, before I send it off to nafyboocs.

This is my husband's rating for the book. He rarely reads fiction, so it is quite noteworthy that he liked this so much. He normally reads only non-fiction (true crime). Maybe now that I've got him to try something new, he might read some other fiction. :o)
As soon as I hear from nafyboocs, I'll get this in the mail to Maryland.

The book arrived just before Christmas and I've already started reading it. So far it's great and has been very hard to put down. I'm hoping to finish this up by the weekend.

I finished this book up last night and absolutely loved it. The ending was a surprise although it it probably shouldn't have been. I've pm'd pammykn and will ship it as soon as I get an address.

UPDATE
Pammykn asked to be skipped. I mailed the book back to Flakes on 1/15/05.

Yay! This is my first bookring to actually make it home! Thanks everyone for participating. I'll wild release this one soon so that someone can "catch" a well-traveled book. :)

1/26 Change of plans! Sending this one off to Kislany...enjoy!

Thanks Flakes, arrived today!
