Boston medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles literally meets her match–and must face a savage serial killer and shattering personal revelations–in the brilliant new novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon and The Sinner.
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.

Es war - nach "The Apprentice" - mein zweites Hörbuch von Tess Gerritsen. Die Story ist gut, der Spannungsbogen stimmig. Mir gefiel, dass diesmal Jane Rizzoli nicht im absoluten Mittelpunkt stand, die Geschichte um sie jedoch trotzdem weiter geführt wurde. Es gibt viel Hintergrund zu Maura Isles.

Die Vorlesestimme von Kathe Mazur ist soweit in Ordnung. Für mich kein absolutes Highlight - aber angenehm.

Das Buch macht mich neugierig auf die Fortsetzung. Insgesamt von mir eine Empfehlung.

Gutes Buch - mit stimmigem Spannungsbogen

Für alle Fans ein Muss. Konnte es nicht lassen alle 10 stunden in 4 Abenden zu hören. sehr spannend von der ersten Minute an und auch die Stimme passt super. Bin gerade begeistert, wie sie die Charaktere rüberbringen konnte. Auch Rizzolis "Zustand" wird anschaulich dargestellt und in die Handlung eingebaut.

Super Buch

when first starting to listen to this book, I felt the monotonous voice of kathe mazur felt like sandpaper, grinding on my nerves and polishing away all the fine points of the story. but then, just when I thought I could bear it no longer, she broke out, gave every character their own voice, their own live and I must say, I had to listen to the whole book in one go... the story itself is so full. laden with layers upon layers of mystery and dark corners where you feel dreadful things must lurk, but don't, and bright and sunlit patches that feel save but are the stage to unbelievable terror. in the end it is nothing you have not heard about (murder, stolen children sold to adoption agencies, the search for ones identity, the decision between a love that is impossible and one that is imperfect etc) but newly combined in masterfully woven threads, that in the end create a horrific carpet of suspense, emotions, desparation and salvation. the great thing is that almost until the end it holds surprises, it twists and turns under your grasp.truly good entertainment.

a masterfully woven carpet of suspense.
