BODY DOUBLE

Anne Heche does well by this latest addition to Gerritsen's series featuring Pathologist Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli. Isles must deal with a corpse who could be her twin; together with the very pregnant Rizzoli she investigates her own murky past and a series of murders in which the victims are expectant mothers. The complex plot, well-preserved in abridgment, ranges from Massachusetts to small-town Maine, with characters either voiced or suggested. For the narrative parts Heche keeps a steady pace and avoids giving any hint of the outcome. You'll be haunted by the voices of the young women kept as captives and pleased with this production as a whole. J.B.G. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 05]
