My Book Beginning:  

I Know A Secret (Rizzoli & Isles, Book 12) by Tess Gerritsen

WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS old, I learned how important it is to cry at funerals. On that particular summer day, the man lying in the coffin was my great uncle Orson, who was most memorable for his foul-smelling cigars and his stinky breath and his unabashed farting.  

My Thoughts:  I think we've all been here - an elderly relative whose grasp on the social graces isn't quite up to society's standards anymore...lol

My 56 ( also from I Know A Secret by Tess Gerritsen – about 56% of Kindle version):  

“Know what?”

“About the Apple Tree.  About what those people did to me.  You don’t seem to understand how something like that changes you.  Or what it’s like when everyone knows you were molested.  When they look at you, the whole time they’re imagining…..”

My Thoughts:  I haven't started this book yet and I really don't know who's talking in this scene but I suspect we are going to discover something really unpleasant about either a relative of Jane's or Maura's.  I'm very curious about this scene.

So what do you think?  Do the teasers tempt you?  Have you read this series? Don’t forget to link up below and at Freda’s Voice. 

About I Know A Secret (Rizzoli & Isles, Book 12) by Tess Gerritsen

The crime scene is unlike any that Detective Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles have ever before encountered. The woman lies in apparently peaceful repose on her bed, and Maura finds no apparent cause of death, but there is no doubt the woman is indeed dead. The victim’s eyes have been removed and placed in the palm of her hand, a gesture that echoes the terrifying films she produces. Is a crazed movie fan reenacting scenes from those disturbing films?

When another victim is found, again with no apparent cause of death, again with a grotesquely staged crime scene, Jane and Maura realize the killer has widened his circle of targets. He’s chosen one particular woman for his next victim, and she knows he’s coming for her next. She’s the only one who can help Jane and Maura catch the killer.

But she knows a secret. And it’s a secret she’ll never tell.
