"Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are back--and they're going into the wild to find a killer. Die Again is the latest heart-pounding thriller in Tess Gerritsen's New York Times bestselling series, the inspiration behind TNT's hit show Rizzoli & Isles. When Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are summoned to a crime scene, they find a killing worthy of the most ferocious beast--right down to the claw marks on the corpse. But only the most sinister human hands could have left renowned big-game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott gruesomely displayed like the once-proud animals whose heads adorn his walls. Did Gott unwittingly awaken a predator more dangerous than any he's ever hunted? Maura fears that this isn't the killer's first slaughter, and that it won't be the last. After linking the crime to a series of unsolved homicides in wilderness areas across the country, she wonders if the answers might actually be found in a remote corner of Africa. Six years earlier, a group of tourists on safari fell prey to a killer in their midst. Marooned deep in the bush of Botswana, with no means of communication and nothing but a rifle-toting guide for protection, the terrified tourists desperately hoped for rescue before their worst instincts--or the wild animals prowling in the shadows--could tear them apart. But the deadliest predator was already among them, and within a week, he walked away with the blood of all but one of them on his hands. Now this killer has chosen Boston as his new hunting ground, and Rizzoli and Isles must find a way to lure him out of the shadows and into a cage. Even if it means dangling the bait no hunter can resist: the one victim who got away. Praise for Tess Gerritsen "[Gerritsen] has an imagination that allows her to conjure up depths of human behavior so dark and frightening that she makes Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft seem like goody-two-shoes."--Chicago Tribune Last to Die "An exciting and puzzling mystery. a key book in a series that keeps getting better and better."--Bookreporter "Gerritsen skillfully heightens the tension right up to the suspenseful ending."--Booklist The Silent Girl "Suspense doesn't get smarter than this. Not just recommended but mandatory."--Lee Child "Another great thrill ride. one of Gerritsen's best."--Associated Press"-- "Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli is on the case of a big game hunter found dead in his apartment, alone with the body of a beautiful white snow leopard he had recently been commissioned to procure and stuff for a high-profile museum in the area. Medical examiner Maura Isles connects the case to a number of seemingly unrelated deaths where the victims have all been found hanging upside down, the hallmark of a leopard's kill. Rizzoli follows the puzzling trail of clues all the way to Botswana, where she uncovers the unsolved mystery of a deadly camping safari four years prior. When she realizes the two cases are connected, Rizzoli must track down the sole survivor of the tragic trip to discover who - or what - is behind these gruesome deaths"--… (más)

This book was interesting. There are 2 stories being told at the beginning of this book. One story of a renowned taxidermist in Boston who was murdered and a missing snow leopard pelt. Detective Jane Rizzoli and Medical Examiner Maura Isles are on the case. The other story being told is of people on a safari in Botswana and the safari goes tragically wrong. You think, as you're reading, that these stories are taking place in parallel, but the safari story is actually 6 years prior to the taxidermist murder. Yet, they are connected. Rizzoli and Isles figure out how they are connected and then realize that they are looking at more than just the taxidermist murder.

This is a great series (and the TV show was pretty good too!) but this book left me a little....well, I don't know. There was a lot of animals being killed and gutted...so, if you don't like to read about that, then this book might not be for you. ( )

This one was so refreshing after the last few duds. The zoology connection and the red herrings really spiced up an otherwise grim situation. This book features dual timelines that intertwine to form the pattern of a killer.

Jane and Maura have their friendship tested when they disagree strongly about the connections or lack thereof in several cases. These cases will take Jane to South Africa on the hunt for something far more dangerous than a leopard. She hunts a human. Serial killer. Chameleon. ( )

Die Again
4.5 Stars

Detective Jane Rizzoli and Medical Examiner Maura Isles join forces once again to investigate the curious case of a taxidermist strung up and gutted in his home. When additional remains are found, Jane and Maura come to believe that the murder is related to the disappearance of a group of bush tourists in Africa. Has the killer changed continents?

It has been a while since I read the previous book in the series, yet it was easy to become immersed once again in Gerritsen's gripping if somewhat dark and gruesome writing style.

Some reviewers have indicated an issue with Gerritsen's depiction of the big cats in the book; however, to me her portrayal is realistic and believable. It also highlights the problem of keeping wild animals in captivity for human entertainment as well as the fact that people who encroach on natural habitats should not be surprised when they get eaten.

The case itself is interesting, especially the parts set in Africa. The first person narration in these chapters add intensity to the events, and helps the reader to become engaged both with the setting and the characters. There is a bittersweet moment at the end when the identity of the killer is revealed (it is actually easy to guess this), and it becomes clear that not only was Johnny murdered, but his character maligned for so long as well..

Overall, an excellent addition to the series and I'm glad that I've gotten back to it.

Weer een echte, hartstikke spannende detective van Gerritsen met Maura en Jane. Deze speelt gedeeltelijk in Botswana waar 6 mensen vermoord worden tijdens een Safari, en een heleboel in Amerika. De dader doodt zoals een luipaard doodt. Tenminste dat kopieert hij. ( )
