Has anyone read any of her books? They are kind of Medical Mystery, suspence type books. Pretty good-- though can be a bit gorey in the details (usually from a Medical standpoint), but very cleverly written.

I just finished reading "The Bone Garden" at 2:30 this am (just couldn't put it down!) It took place during two different eras-- the Presant day-- when a newly divorced woman finds a VERY OLD female skeleton in the backyard of her "new" (Old) house -- and 1830's Boston with a masked/cloaked killer on the loose! Very well written!!! Though I'm not exactly sure WHY she titled it "The Bone Garden." They only found ONE skeleton!

Yes, I have read her! Love her books. She wrote a couple of sci-fi ones back in the day and Gravity was very good. I think she even wrote a romance or two. She has a series that I just love...

What's the Series called Jinia? I MIGHT have read it, might not! Which of her books was your favorite? I found "The Mephisto Club" a bit disturbing... have you read that one? YIKES!!!

The book you read is in the series- the Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles series! I haven't read it yet but am looking forward to it! She can be disturbing and dark - but I like that sometimes! This series is my favorite of her work!

Oh, ok. I guess I HAVE read the series then. But probably not "in order." Did you read "Bloodstream?" That was the FIRST of her books that I read.... the one that got me hooked! CREEEEPY!!!! Oh, and "Life Support" was good too!

I haven't read that one yet. I'll have to keep my eye out for it. Thanks!
