As a member of the committee, Maura Isles can’t very well leave the benefit for Boston’s Museum of Science…even if she is bored. But things are looking up when she meets Eli Kilgour.

A short story with Maura Isles once again the victim. She remembers meeting a handsome man at a party, but does not remember how she got home. And now Jane Rizzoli is at her door telling her that the man is dead. The whole concept of the story would have made a great novel, but the author did an excellent job putting everything together in 50 (gave or take) pages. There was no lack of mystery either.
I love Tess Gerritsen. This short story starts off as a thriller worthy of her, but Jane barely did any digging and the case was solved. There was no opportunity for her to develop much of a story. As far as a short story goes, it was good and the pace was quick. I am looking forward to her next book when she develops her plot and characters.
