Book Review:
''Tess Gerritsen is at the absolute top of her game in 'Vanish,' a book that Harlan Coben calls 'crime-writing at its unputdownable, nerve-tingling best.' From the very first page, with Maura Isles facing a corpse that isn't dead, you are hooked.

The premise is brilliant in its simplicity and terrifying in its execution. The switch from a medical examiner's procedural to a tense hostage thriller is seamless. The plot twists are relentless, and just when you think you understand what's happening, Gerritsen pulls the rug out from under you. The suspense is almost unbearable, especially with Jane Rizzoli, pregnant and vulnerable, at the mercy of a captor whose motives are a complete mystery.

This book showcases everything Gerritsen does best: strong, intelligent female protagonists, a deeply unsettling plot, and pacing that never lets up. A must-read for any fan of the series or the genre.''
