lumineaux55. The Silent Girl by Tess Gerritsen
Jane Rizzoli is a homicide detective in Boston. Maura Isles is a medical examiner. They are friends, of a sort. They solve crimes. There's now a Rizzoli and Isles TV show, but it has about as little to do with the actual novels as Bones has to do with Kathy Reich's Temperence Brennan novels.
A dead body is found on a rooftop in Chinatown. It may be linked to a shooting that occurred on the same spot 19 years ago. As mysteries go, this particular mystery isn't very mysterious -- I figured out who was involved fairly early on. The why was more interesting and worth reading through until the end. As a regular reader (and occasional writer) of mysteries, I like to think that I am at the level of a rookie detective when sifting through clues. As a result, I find that it bugs me when the heroes don't put two and two together as easily as I have. To some degree, the plot requires Jane Rizzoli to fail to put two and two together on a couple of essential points. However, Jane does nearly get killed early in the novel, so she may be off her game as a result. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
