Vanish: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel

I think the reader was channelling Fran Drescher when she decided what a Bostonian should sound like. What were the producers thinking?

If you can ignore the accent then the story is worthwhile.

I found the basic concept of this book interesting. I found its execution bush-league and the narrator the same.

The narrator insists on giving main female detective Rizzoli a Brooklyn accent. The fact Rizzoli is born and bred in Boston doesn't dawn on her.

The storyline as it proceeds is dull and the reasons given for the major crime in story are not believable and don't fit the facts presented.

Gerritsen has reached the same point as Patricia Cornwell. She is no longer writing for the reader; she's writing for revenue.

I do not recommend this book and will not read another.

I like to read/listen to Gerristens books, but the reader on this one had me droning out. The story line wasn't very good but the twist at the end was pretty good. In comparison to her other books this one didn't quite measure up.

Tess Gerritson always writes a great story and this was no exception. However, I am from Massachusetts and I just couldn't get past Jane Rizolli sounding like a combination of Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny" and New Jersey's Carmella Soprano.

I love Tess Gerritsen all the way through to Mephisto Club. But this one was tough to listen to-just could not get into the dialogue the characters. The story of Anna etc was very sad, but for some reason, I wish she was the center of the story, and in this one I didn't feel the focus was on the most powerful story line.

This was the first book in this series I've read and I definitely want to read more now. Some things seemed to get tied up a little carelessly but I found that I just plain like Jane, and also found the subtext about her baby very believable.

It kept me interested, but not like I couldn't put it down. The twist another reviewer spoke about, I had figured out about half way through as well as some other things at the end. I guess it was typical of these types of books though. The reader was a little annoying at times and there were times that I couldn't figure out which character was speaking. It wasn't bad though.Not bad

This was a very enjoyable listen from start to finish. The narrator was excellent and it held my interest throughout. I hope she writes more Jane Resolli books.

This was an excellent book and very well written. I thought the narration was top-notch and the accents believable. I would put Gerritson right up there with Baldacci. I actually enjoyed this book more than Baldacci's latest work, which also focused on abused government defense contractors. Gerritson does a fabulous job of weaving in the plot through so many different angles. You're never really sure who is good or bad until the end. Loved it and can't wait for her next one!

This was a fabulous read. The characters were interesting, the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. What I like best about this writer is the realism she interjects in her stories - happy endings are not a foregone conclusion. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but will say the plot she lays out is believable. You find yourself really caring about the characters and cheering for the "good guys." Definitely worth the read.
