Listen To Me

The gripping new 2022 Rizzoli & Isles crime suspense thriller from the No.1 bestselling author

Summary

'Suspenseful and clever - nobody is who they seem to be in this shocking and fast-paced mystery.' KARIN SLAUGHTER

The nail-biting new thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. Have you met Rizzoli & Isles yet?

Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are investigating a gruesome and seemingly senseless murder. The victim was a respected, much loved nurse. But she was guarding a dangerous secret - a secret that may have lead the killer straight to her door.

Meanwhile, Jane's watchful mother Angela Rizzoli is convinced there's something strange, perhaps even dangerous, about her new neighbours across the street. The problem is, no one is listening to her. Not even her own daughter.

Ignored and frustrated, and with danger mounting in her neighbourhood, Angela may be forced to take action on her own . . .

'Outstanding - inventive, scary, and funny. Listen to Me is Gerritsen at her best!' KATHY REICHS

'Gerritsen walks that high wire between humour and suspense without ever falling off as she plays a great game of bait and switch with her readers.' LINWOOD BARCLAY
