Body Double: my notes
As you have been able to read in the previous post, I have started reading “Lost City“, but before this I have read Tess Gerritsen (wikipedia) Body Double. It is quite well written, even if the style become a little overcomplicated in same passages.
The story itself is quite interesting in general, even if it is not a masterpiece (sorry Tess… :D ). Some characters are very well painted, some other are sketched and nothing more. Of course detective Jane Rizzoli and doctor Maura Isles, the main characters of the series, are perfect.
Unfortunately in the book I have read the outcome of the previous adventure of one of the characters… as always happens when you start reading a series withouth reading the first book first!
To be read on the underground, during the lazy morning or the tired afternoons Body Double is a good book, sometimes I have felt really inside the book… but unfortunately this happened only few times.
Tess Gerritsen has good ideas for crime novels, even if sometimes she switch the speed of the happenings too fastly, without giving the reader the possibility to understand the general rythm of the scenes.
Few times foreseeable, few times well covered, the plot works. a total mark of 6.5 on 10 is its real value, IMHO!
