Publisher's Summary
The brutal crime appears to be without motive, and the elderly nuns in residence can offer little help in the police investigation. But medical examiner Maura Isles' autopsy of the dead woman yields a shocking surprise: twenty-year-old Sister Camille, the order's sole novice, gave birth before she was murdered. Then the disturbing case takes a stunning new turn when another woman is found murdered in an abandoned building, her body mutilated beyond recognition.
Together, Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes closer and closer to home – and toward a dawning revelation about the killer's identity too shattering to consider.

"Short cut."
I didn't realize that I had chosen the Abridged version of this book, but it was still good - the reader is one I have listened to before and enjoyed, and he did not disappoint here either. I think because of the abridgement I was aware of the reduced detail and story development compared to other Gerritsen novels. But I still enjoyed it in spite of wondering what the impact would have been to get the whole story.

"Awesome!"
Where does The Sinner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?The story was suspensful and had lots of twist and turns. I was just dissappointed I could not listen straight through.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?Yes it did I could not figure out who did it.
Which scene was your favorite?The part near the end where they save each other.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes it was

"Nice read, bad reading."
The story is quite good. Interesting characters, good plot. It kept me interested the whole way, and there were some nice plot twists. Some of the plot was a bit outrageous, but it didn't really detract from the story.
The reader is fine as long as she is reading female characters (and most of the main characters are female, so that is good). But her interpretation of male characters is absolutely horrible. It sounds like Paula Poundstone doing a Darth Vader impersonation. It really turns the male characters into caricatures, because you can't take seriously someone who sounds so ridiculous.
I wish narrators would avoid trying to do characters, unless they're really good at it. If we want a dramatic presentation, we'll wait for the movie. Just read the words as written.1 of 2 people found this review helpful -
"The Sinner"
Not a bad read. Well written, not as predictable as most.
