The Keepsake: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel

Have liked the series and will continue to give it a listen as more are produced. As to this particular episode, a couple of points are probably worth noting. 1) For fans of Maura Isles, you'll be disappointed. She was really on the periphery of this story - it could easily have been written without her. 2) For those who really need a "production" rather than a book read to them, you probably won't be happy with this. You can't tell a character by voice inflection with this narrator - not a biggie with me, but it seems to be an issue with a number of people who write some pretty scathing reviews. All in all, steady fodder from Gerritsen that I would recommend.

I've read most of Tess Gerritsen's books....this was definitely one of the best. The archeology theme was fascinating, the the suspense never slowed down. Definitely recommend this one!!

Her books just keep getting better and better. Even when you think the story is over and then find out it isn't, you aren't disappointed. When you're sure the book is going to end like many others, you are wrong. I can't wait for her next book.

This book is a real keepsake. The plot moves along rapidly with thrilling twists and turns all the way to the end, which winds up being a twist in itself. Vivid imagery enables the reader to feel and see the sands of Egypt as well as experience the macabre death scenes. Full of suspense, The Keepsake, keeps you wondering what is around each corner.

The only drawback in the audio is that the narrator does not carry each character individually with her voice; it is sometimes difficult to determine who is speaking and more like having a book read to you. The story is brilliant if one can move beyond the voice of the narrator.

I have really liked some of this author's previous books (The Sinner is really good)- but this one is lacking in all areas- Terrible narration - this person would be better suited to narrate Nancy Drew mysteries with her little girl voice. I had to make myself get through this one hoping it would get better- it never did!!

This is a pretty good story, but it is padded with some really silly dialog. Be prepared to roll your eyes about once a minute, especially in the first half.

This is, by far, my favourite Tess Gerritsen book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book but the narrator's voice almost ruined it for me. I highly recommend this audiobook as long as you can get past the narrator's voice. With her reading, it's so hard to distinguish between who's speaking because they all sound the same! I found myself "rewinding" or scrolling back ever so often to figure out which character was actually speaking.
But to end on a positive note, this book is simply great :)

The storyline was OK, but the writing left a little to be desired. Used the same trite phrases over and over. I agree with the reviewer who said you would be rolling your eyes every few minutes. It was a decent listen, but nowhere near the top of my list.

Enjoyable suspense novel. T.G kept a lot of her ongoing characters & continued their development. This was great. The plot was a bit belabored at points from what I'm accustomed to from T.G. which is why I only gave it 4 stars. There's evidence of lots of archeology research which was very interesting. The narrator differentiated well enough to keep up with the various characters so that made it easy to follow. I'm glad I bought the book.

Na

Yes

Not unless I have to in order to finish this series.

This is a really good book but have enjoyed all of Tess Gerritsen's books so far.
