I received this book from the Amazon Vine program.

I have been a fan of Tess Gerritsen since I met her at a book signing about 10 years ago. I truly believe that she is one of the best thriller writers.

After a woman is found murdered in the Chinatown section of Boston, Detective Jane Rizzoli follows the trail of the killer, leading her to an atrocious massacre from 19 years prior. As she puts clues of the current case together, Jane soon learns about the mysterious disappearance of several teenage girls whom are connected to this massacre.

Like Tess Gerristen's other books, this one is a non stop page turner. Through the twists and turns of the murder investigation, the author teaches us about Chinese history, culture, and myths (stories that had been passed on by her own mother). I mean, how often do you read a book and learn all about the history of sword making?

Why only 4 stars? Although I read the book in about 3 hours and couldn't put it down, I felt that it was missing something that other Gerritsen books have had. I was disappointed by the ending as it was almost the exact ending as another very popular thriller novel (I cannot state the novel as it would give away the ending of this book).
