Aussie Lovers of Crime/Mystery/Thriller/Suspense discussion

Another of my favourites is Tess Gerritsen. She has an amazing talent, and I love all her work. How many of you read Tess?

My last read of hers was Body Double which was excellent!

I've never read a Tess Gerritsen novel

Haven't you Michael....perhaps you should challenge yourself to do so...

If you do, start with the beginning of a series:)

Body Double and The Keepsake was very good. I will have to came back to her books soon!

Both great ones Yuliya, and Michael, the only one I haven't read yet out of your favs is Last to Die...I have it here so will hopefully get to it soon.

I've got it down to read in the November challenge Michael, in my reducing TBR section:) So when I get rid of the ones I need to read for the library, I'll read that one:)

I've not read one of her books either but would like to give it a go. Do her books need to be read in any order or are they all stand alone?

I was thinking of starting off with Vanish

Oh maybe not...that's #5

Okay Thanks Michael I'll give Vanish a go.

No I won't bother with the TV show then. I'd rather read the books :)

My opinion differs from yours Michael...I would start at the beginning to get to know the characters. I find it's better that way, though they can be read on their own as well. Totally up to the individual... (Of course in saying that, I didn't start at the beginning, as I didn't realize they were a series then!)

She does have some stand-alone novels, but the Rizzoli & Isles series is definitely the best:)

Just finished Last to Die and it was really good - my favourite however is still Ice Cold, which can be read as a stand-alone novel as it contains all the info the reader needs.
Does the TV show screen in Australia? I've never heard of it ....

Michael wrote: "It does Heidi. I can't remember of the top of my head what channel it's on but from what i have seen it's not very good. Glad you enjoyed Last to Die and what about the twist at the end with Nicho..."

I didn't either - was a very clever twist!

Thanks, Michael ... I may give it a go. Hesitating since often the film / series spoils the books. We'll see ....

I have also heard it's not that good...not true to the books. But I've also heard lots like the show, and haven't read the books!

Meh, didn't do much for me ... I will stick with the books I think! Had a completely different image of the characters ... as is often the case. I love the book series, so can recommend, Brenda!

Yes, and me too Heidi! I'd much, much prefer the books....Tess is an amazing author:)

Finally Tess Gerritsen has a new read for us - coming later this year!
