The Mephisto Club (Rizzoli and Isles Series #6)

Scary!

Check the locks on all the doors and windows! Another thrilling and terrifying novel by Tess Gerritsen! This was a highly engrossing book; interesting topic and characters. I've enjoyed all of Gerritsen's books; you can't go wrong with one of her novels! Gerritsen has a very clean, clear writing style and a vivid imagination. The author puts forth some very unusual and fascinating ideas; this book was very entertaining and I would definately recommend it. I've enjoyed all the books in the Jane Rizzoli/Maura Isles series as well as Gerritsen's non-series medical mysteries. You may also like: Patricia Cornwell, Philip Margolin, Robin Cook, Tami Hoag, Linda Howard, Lee Child and Lisa Gardner.

Jennifer Wardrip - Personal Read

It amazes me that Tess Gerritsen is able to write such awesome thrillers, time after time. And yet she does, proving that she is, quite simply, at the top of her game--and at the top of the psychological thriller/mystery genre!

Many others have outlined the plot of THE MEPHISTO CLUB, so let me just say a few things: this is a great storyline, original, and handled deftly. The action-adventure is non-stop throughout the book, and although you know, basically from the beginning of the story, who the bad guy is, it doesn't stop the book from being interesting and intriguing.

I loved that Father Brophy and Dr. Maura Isles finally "got together," but I need this relationship to go beyond THE THORN BIRDS!! There has got to be a resolution to this plot line, and soon!

My only complaint with the story is Jane Rizzoli, who I actually love. However, her hard-a**, morally superior attitude in this book ticked me off. I want to see the softer side of Jane, the nurturing mother side, the love of Gabriel's life side--as well as the the tough-as-nails, ball-buster homicide detective.

Believe me, though, THE MEPHISTO CLUB is another winner!

Stunning, incredible psychlogocal thriller...

This is a another stunning, incredible psychological thriller to enjoy! Tough-as-nails, homicide detective, Jane Rizzoli, begins investigation after the gruesome scene where strewn body parts were gathered. The lab discovers a hand that was not apart of the other body parts so therefore, there is another victim somewhere and thus begins another non-put-downable story to get caught up in.

This was an average, everyday, serial killer novel. Enjoyable while it lasted but not overly memorable after the event. I was able to pick that there was a traiter in the club, but not exactly who it was. Worth reading if you like this sort of thing, skip over it if you don't.

Twisted but still a good read.

Good story line & character development. Some parts are a little tough to deal with for me.

I love Rizzoli and Isles!

Great book series! Love the characters!

Loved it!

Awesome storyline, well written. Keeps you hooked until the shocking end! LOVED the development of Dr. Isles' story with Brophy! I have read the first 6 books by Gerritsen and I am HOOKED. Exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Brilliant!

Wow!

Finished this book in just a day and a half. Gripping page turner. I got so caught up in the suspense that I just did not see the end coming.

Good read, recommended if you enjoy a quick read.

Great story line with fair character development. My only issue was with such a good story line many more twists could have taken place.

It was OK

This wasn't one of my favorites of the series. I think a lot got lost in all the history and religious text. It was a good plot but the end was kind of abrupt and there could have been at least a few more pages to close it out.

Seeking out Evil

The Mephisto Club seeks out "evil" people, positing that some people are born bad, that they are descendents of an evil branch of the human family. Members of the club insist that a series of horrible deaths have been caused by these inherently evil beings.

Gerritsen is careful NOT to insist on supernatural reasons for the killings; she only suggests. Her technique works well.

Very readable; very entertaining.

Whoah.

I was kind of afraid to be home alone for a while after reading this. xDDD And you know it's good when Stephen King says Tess is a must read. [;

Not nearly as well written as her previous books.

Most of Gerritsen's books to date have been gripping in the unfolding. This story was less than exciting. The story lacked any real punch. I was glad to finish it.

Love her books

I love her thrillers but not her romance novels or any romance novels for that matter. Tess Gerritsen has a serious tallent. She is my second favorite author of all time. Just when i thought this series couldn't get any better, she comes up with Mephisto Club and blows my mind. Seriously.

Kept me guessing

This was the first book I ever read by Tess G. & I have been buying her books ever since. The Mephisto Club was very well written, I felt that I knew each of the characters in the book, there was plenty of suspense to keep me reading and making it hard to put down. She has become one of my favorite writers.

Love this author

A MUST read...I just love Tess!

Excellent!

I needed a book to read and the cover caught my eye. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! This is my first book by Tess Gerritsen but it will definitely not be my last. I liked how she moved between the different characters and also provided different view points. I have recommended this book to several of my friends!

A reviewer

Do demons in human form walk the earth? Or do we dismiss them as psychopaths? Tess Gerritsen explores these questions in this tale of a series of grisly murders and the people who try to solve them. I could have done without some of the graphic details, but the author's narrative drive is so powerful that those pages kept on turning!

Best read in awhile!

Very fast-paced thriller!

Blochy

The characters are poorly developed and the story line goes out in too many unrelated tangents. What could have been said in a page was dragged out in a whole book.
