Publisher Description
'Suspenseful and clever - nobody is who they seem to be in this shocking and fast-paced mystery.' KARIN SLAUGHTER
The nail-biting new thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. Have you met Rizzoli & Isles yet?
Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are investigating a gruesome and seemingly senseless murder. The victim was a respected, much loved nurse. But she was guarding a dangerous secret - a secret that may have lead the killer straight to her door.
Meanwhile, Jane's watchful mother Angela Rizzoli is convinced there's something strange, perhaps even dangerous, about her new neighbours across the street. The problem is, no one is listening to her. Not even her own daughter.
Ignored and frustrated, and with danger mounting in her neighbourhood, Angela may be forced to take action on her own . . .
'Outstanding - inventive, scary, and funny. Listen to Me is Gerritsen at her best!' KATHY REICHS
'Gerritsen walks that high wire between humour and suspense without ever falling off as she plays a great game of bait and switch with her readers.' LINWOOD BARCLAY

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The case of Sofia Suarez, a widowed nurse found bludgeoned to death in her home, drives bestseller Gerritsen's engrossing 13th mystery featuring Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles (after 2017's I Know a Secret). The inoffensive Sofia appears to have had a blameless past, but why was she, as Jane and Maura discover, making surreptitious calls to burner phones in the days before her death? Following leads painstakingly gathered from police reports and interviews with people who knew Sofia, Jane eventually links her murder to a cold case several states away. Meanwhile, Jane's mother, Angela, is worried about changes she sees in the neighborhood in which Jane grew up. Angela can't understand why the parents of a missing teenage girl seem so unconcerned or why the new couple across the street never seem to leave the house. The tension rises as Angela's vigilance leads her to draw false conclusions and puts her in personal danger. Gerritsen smoothly shifts between her complex plotlines as the action builds to a surprising conclusion. Newcomers will find this entry easily accessible.

I read the book in about 5 hours as it was basically a short story. Very disappointed. Where did the real Tess Gerritsen go?…where was the terror, the fear, the evil that she is so well known for? This was so damn predictable, I had the entire plot except for the completely unnecessary Larry factor sorted about an hour into the book. Don’t waste your time and money unless you are looking forward to mediocre. This tale was about as thrilling and suspenseful as the ridiculous television show based on Gerritsen’s books. The reviews by her contemporaries relate to her early work and this definitely does measure up!
