Dr. Maura Isles makes her living dealing with death. As a pathologist in a major metropolitan city, she has seen more than her share of corpses every day–many of them victims of violent murder. But never before has her blood run cold, and never has the grim expression “dead ringer” rung so terrifyingly true. Because never before has the lifeless body on the medical examiner’s table been her own. Yet there can be no denying the mind-reeling evidence before her shocked eyes and those of her colleagues, including Detective Jane Rizzoli: the woman found shot to death outside Maura’s home is the mirror image of Maura, down to the most intimate physical nuances. Even more chilling is the discovery that they share the same birth date and blood type. For the stunned Maura, an only child, there can be just one explanation. And when a DNA test confirms that Maura’s mysterious doppelgänger is in fact her twin sister, an already bizarre murder investigation becomes a disturbing and dangerous excursion into a past full of dark secrets. Searching for answers, Maura is drawn to a seaside town in Maine where other horrifying surprises await. But perhaps more frightening, an unknown murderer is at large on a cross-country killing spree. To stop the massacre and uncover the twisted truth about her own roots, Maura must probe her first living subject: the mother that she never knew . . . an icy and cunning woman who could be responsible for giving Maura life–and who just may have a plan to take it away.

Toch kan het verbijsterende bewijs dat voor haar en rechercheur Jane Rizolli ligt, niet worden ontkend: de vrouw die voor Maura's huis is doodgeschoten is haar evenbeeld.

op zoek naar antwoorden gaat Maura naar een kustplaatsje in Maine waar haar huiveringwekkende verrassingen wachten. In het gebied waart al jaren een onbekende moordenaar rond. Om hem te stoppen moet Maura in conctact zien te komen met haar moeder, die ze nooit heeft gekend, maar haar het leven heeft geschonken - en nu misschien plannen beraamt haar van het leven te beroven...]]> 2004 4 0 false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 12:58:17 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 13:29:48 -0800 2009 1 Zustermoord.

Als die Gerichtsmedizinerin Dr. Maura Isles von einer Paris-Reise nachts ins heimische Boston zurückkehrt, erwartet sie eine unangenehme Überraschung: Ihr Haus ist von Polizisten umlagert. Gleichzeitig reagieren Isles Kollegen schockiert auf ihre Ankunft, denn sie hatten sie bereits für tot gehalten. Aus gutem Grund, denn eine in der Nähe ihres Hauses ermordet aufgefundene Frau sieht ihr zum Verwechseln ähnlich.

An diesem Abend verändert sich Mauras Isles Leben grundlegend. Da sie bereits im frühesten Kindesalter adoptiert wurde, weiß sie nichts über ihre wirkliche Herkunft. Nun stellt sich das Mordopfer als Mauras Zwillingsschwester heraus, die offenbar auf der Suche nach der Familienhistorie war. Maura führt die Suche ihrer Schwester fort und spürt ihre leibliche Mutter in einer psychiatrischen Haftklinik auf. Während die Polizei unter Leitung der hochschwangeren Detective Jane Rizzoli nach einem gefährlichen Serienmörder fahndet, schwebt über der verwirrten Maura neben der schmerzhaften Frage ihrer Herkunft eine unausgesprochene Drohung: Wer hat ihre Schwester umgebracht und weshalb?

Tess Gerritsen, die mit ihrem Roman Die Chirurgin einen großen Erfolg verbuchen konnte, legt mit Schwesternmord den vierten Roman um die Bostoner Polizistin Jane Rizzoli vor. Mit Blick auf die Serienvorgänger gewinnt man unwillkürlich den Eindruck, dass Gerritsen die Erzählmotive ihrer Serie hin und wieder entgleiten. In Schwesternmord etwa verliert Maura den grausamen Tod ihrer Zwillingsschwester mehrmals völlig aus den Augen, obwohl sie davon zunächst tief getroffen ist. Auch wirken Gerritsens Figuren trotz aller Introspektiven, Rückblenden, eingeflochtener Lovestory und den damit verbundenen Spannungsmomenten in diesem Buch seltsam blutleer. So lässt dieser überkonstruierte Psychothriller leider erneut erkennen, welch mächtigen Einfluss Thomas Harris' Das Schweigen der Lämmer wohl noch immer auf die Thrillerliteratur ausübt. Zudem wird deutlich, wie sehr die daraus abgeleiteten obszönen Fantasien dieses Genre überlagern. Statt sich mit einem gut ausgedachten Plot über einen primitiven Spannungsaufbau zu erheben, erzählt Gerritsen ihren Roman also lieber nach bewährtem Erfolgsrezept.

So jagt sie ihre Leser in einem Katz-und-Maus-Spiel förmlich durch die Handlung. Trotz fadenscheinigem Verwirrspiel, Effekthaschereien und unbefriedigender Auflösungen werden Gerritsen-Fans aber sicher über viele Widersprüche hinwegsehen und die Autorin auch für diesen wendungsreichen Thriller lieben. Einige Leser werden sich jedoch mit dem Rezensenten fragen, welche abgeschmackten Klischees uns die Autorin hier doch letztlich auftischt ... --Christian Koch]]> 2004 4 0 false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 06 14:53:18 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 13 02:53:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 17127231 612172 526608 0739333453 9780739333457 5 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175543805m/526608.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175543805s/526608.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/526608.Body_Double 3.94 1537 New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon and The Sinner.
