Klub Mefista Cykl Rizzoli / Isles Tom 6

Product Information

Severed body parts from one murder are swap with another part at the next murder. A symbol is left on Maura's door causing her fear. On tony Beacon Hill, the club's acolytes devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark historical data and mysterious religious symbology, the Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that Satan and his demons actually exist among us.

The Latin word is scrawled in blood at the scene of a young woman's brutal murder: "I HAVE SINNED". It's a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity psychiatrist Joyce O'Donnell - Maura's professional nemesis and member of a secret society called "The Mephisto Club." We do get to see fragments of the villain’s past. There is no mystery as to the identity of this perpetrator. Or is there? Is it one big red herring? Does the killer act alone? I’ll say one thing: Tess Gerritsen writes creepy very well. Homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are called to the scene of the brutal murder of a young woman. Strange symbols and a cryptic message are clues that lead them to an even stranger group of people who are members of the Mephisto Foundation, a group of scholars who believe in and study the history of evil. Even more disturbing is the discovery that Dr. Joyce O’Donnell is a member and evidence suggests the killer is somehow connected to her.A nice read with Rizzoli & Isles, Christmas Eve is spoiled in Boston. A Latin word "Peccavi" & crosses (written upside down) are left in blood on bodies. The Latin word means "I Have Sinned". Upside down crosses are against "Chtistanity". Personally, I don’t mind the blood and gore linked to serial killer books, although I can see where some might have a problem with it. You should go in knowing there will be some confronting moments. Let’s face it, when one of the lead characters is a medical examiner you’re going to strike a higher than normal number of graphic scenes involving human body parts. Tess Gerritsen did a good job in portraying the horror of her crime scenes without going too far over the top.

The main character becomes Lily Saul with a "evil" Christianity spirit & a "fallen" angel (Devil) after her? Her parents & Teddy (brother) killed.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!

nusikaltimo vietą taip pat atvyksta ir medicinos ekspertė Mora Ailz. Sename name ant sienų jas pasitinka lotyniškas užrašas : AŠ NUSIDĖJAU. Tuomet dar nieko nenutuokdamos moterys, net neįtaria su kokiu blogiu dar joms teks susidurti ir kiek kraupių žmogžudysčių jų dar laukia.. The Mephisto Club is a secret society that studies evil. Do demons walk among us? Does it have a physical presence? Using historical data and mysterious religious symbolism they aim to prove that Satan exists among us. Their leader, Anthony Sansone, is mysterious and wealthy. He also seems to have connections at very high levels. Jane has no choice but to work with him. Jane doesn't believe in demons, the devil, or symbology. As far as she is concerned the Mephisto Club is nothing more than an amateur crime fighting club. Maura Isles finds herself being drawn into the club accidentally. Guilt by association. That association being that she was at the crime scenes. Both Detective Jane Rizzoli and Dr. Maura Isles drew the short straw this particular Christmas and witness the horrific murder scene. “Peccavi.” Who wrote the message?” And for whom is it meant? Soon there is another death, with more symbols. This one strikes close to home. What is the Mephisto Club? Can its leader, Anthony Sansone, be trusted? He seems to be everywhere, to be given wide berth by law enforcement. Yet Jane is wary. She has good reason. One of the members of Mephisto is Dr. Joyce O’Donnell, the neuropsychiatrist who testified in the court trial of Warren Hoyt, the man who tried to kill her and left her scarred for life. She has no love for Joyce O’Donnell, nor does she believe in devils or evil spirits. The story begins with a murder on Christmas Eve that appears to be a satanic ritual. A group of amateur sleuths with a lot of money and less experience become involved making the investigation difficult for the police officer Rizzoli. The medical examiner Isles works with her. This was a creepy story that focused on one of my least favorite topics. Mythical demons and their spawns are not my cuppa, which negatively influenced my rating. So, if this is a subject you find intriguing, I highly recommend the story as it’s well researched and written. There’s a secondary storyline involving Maura and Daniel Brody that I did find interesting as well as the story surrounding the killer who is identified at the beginning.

The sixth book in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I have enjoyed reading the books in this series but this is probably my least favorite. It was still an enjoyable read but it was too Dan Brownish. Too much demons / the devil, the bible, secret societies, etc. I understand how Jane Rizzoli felt in this story. Kalėdų išvakarėse detektyvė Džeinė Ricoli yra iškviečiama į siaubingo nusikaltimo vietą, kur žiauriai buvo nužudyta jauna moteris.
