Tess Gerritsen

[Anonymous]

Has anybody read any of her books?

I picked up The Surgeon today for 40p and liked the look of it from the back cover.

I also picked up a couple of Linda Farstein and one Lisa Gardner, I really do HAVE to stop buying until I can get my (to read* list down, LOL

:roll:

[Michelle]

I read The Apprentice and really enjoyed. It's a follow on (although not actually a sequel) to The Surgeon, so I got hold of that, and liked that too. The Sinner was also good.

I recently read one of her older ones.. can't remember the name, and it was quite a bit different - it reminded me of John Saul's older books.

I've just been flicking through Amazon, and Gravity sounds really cool - has anyone tried that one?

GreenMetropolis had an 'excellent' copy, and I had credit in my account, so....

:D

[Anonymous]

Ooooooooh I was having a peek at Gravity too, Michelle!

Looks very good, let me know what you think of it once you've read it!

[Michelle]

I will - and it'll probably be up for sale or swap. ;)

[Anonymous]

I was just looking on her website http://www.tessgerritsen.com/ most, if not all of her books appeal to me.
Will have to keep my eyes open, hehe.

[Michelle]

Life Support - that's the one!

[Michelle]

You know what, I've read Bloodstream too, I'm sure of it.. but I can't remember how it ends!

[Inanna]

I've read The Surgeon and In Their Footsteps and now have Gravity, Harvest, The Apprentice, The Sinner, Body Double, Life Support and one other on my shelf to read :mrgreen:

I do like the way she writes :D

[Anonymous]

:wave: Hi Inanna!

Thanks for your opinion on her, I shall be looking out for more of hers to add to my ever growing pile, hehe.

[Inanna]

Hi Tracey, I think you'll enjoy her work, she certainly seems to be popular :mrgreen:

[jake]

Yet again, another Gerritsen fan here. I love her books and am thoroughly enjoying Vanish, it's certainly keeping me interested, more than half way through.

[Tash]

I'd never even heard of her until this forum. Michelle, you have a lot to answer for starting this group up....I can't keep up with all these authors!!! :lol:

Just kidding hunny, you know I love it here :mrgreen:

[Maureen]

Have read some of her books - and enjoyed them. I believe The apprentice, The sinner and The Surgeon, and another one...which cannot remember the name of this morning!!

Very Enjoyable! :agree:

[Inanna]

I have now read:

The Surgeon
The Apprentice
In Their Footsteps
Life Support
Harvest (which is my favourite so far)

I have, sat on my shelf, waiting to be read:

The Sinner
Body Double
Gravity


And Vanished on its way via the library :wink:

[Tash]

That's it, rub it in why don't ya :P lol She seems to be a popular author down this way, no charity shops have her books!!

[Inanna]

LOL she's quite popular on RISI too, though alot of people seem unwilling to part with her books :wink:

[Anonymous]

I loved The Sinner and Body Double Inanna, I think you may like them medear :wink:

[Inanna]

I'm sure I will, I'd be surprised if she wrote anything sucky :wink:

[Inanna]

Now reading Under The Knife, so far so good, and I have a further 4 books of hers sat on my shelf.
Her new book is out next week as well :D

[Sugar]

I am another big Gerritsen fan. I have read all the Jane Rizzoli/Maura Isles books (The Surgeon, The Apprentice, The Sinner, Body Double, and Vanish), and am now working my way through the other books of which I have read Life Support, and Call After Midnight. I wouldn't say that Call After Midnight is a romance - it's still a thriller.

Warning about these books - once you start you can't stop, so make sure you have a few hours spare when you start.

:roll:I love her books I've got nearly all of them the Surgeon is one I don't have.

If you write to her via her the way you write to her is by leaving a message in her guestbook at her website she'll send you a signed pic all you need to do is request one I did :D

We've had quite a bit to do with Tess, actually.. she sent me a signed copy of one of her books to use as a competition prize, and she did an interview for us..

Reading her interview got me interested and I picked up The Surgeon for 30p in a charity shop - can't argue with a price that low!

[scottishbookworm]

In 2 days time Tess' new book "Misquto club" will be released, am I right?

[Sofia]

I have really enjoyed her medical thrillers.....hard to put down...but I started to read The Surgeon, and I got very turned off...for some reason I just found it incredibly graphic, which is funny because it never really bothered me before :worried:

[scottishbookworm]

:typing: Have you read anymore tess' books sofia?

Alison :book: :reading:

'the mephisto club' is on amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mephisto-Club-Tess-Gerritsen/dp/0739326244/sr=1-1/qid=1160721732/ref=pd_bowtega_1/026-8687815-0834848?ie=UTF8&s=books) as a hardback *nods*

(sorry about the huge URL. i tried to bury it in the post but seems i'm not allowed on here for some reason)

[Michelle]

You are allowed to include urls within the text. Type your text, highlight it, then click on the link button above. You'll then get a pop up box asking you for the url.

However, vbulletin does a good job with urls, as it shortens them, as to not break the page. :)

[madcow]

I was at Kat's yesterday, and saw a copy of Body Double on her book shelf (you can't not look if somebody has a book case :mrgreen: ) so i took a peek, as you do :D , and i've decided that this is yet another author to add to my 'to read' list.
I know i said i wanted to broaden my horizons where my reading is concerned but this is ridiculous (only kidding I am loving every minute of it really!) my TBR pile now has three groups Red - to read immediately,
Amber - to read as soon as the red pile has gone down and Green - which is to read at sometime in the near future!!!!!!

Don't you just love this forum :lol:

ah. that's what i tried to do (i'm VERY used to forum software). i'm guessing it doesn't show in the post until you post it then?

[Michelle]

I'm not sure what problem you're having.. to be honest. The reply boxes act like a 'wysiwyg' editor.. if you click the double 'A' in the corner, it will switch to 'enhanced editor'. Maybe you'll be able to see what you're doing better with that one?

hi again Michelle and thanks for the reply. i'm sure i'll find my way around it all in time :)

Hi all.:)

I have read several books by Tess Gerritsen, all of them being the Surgeon, Apprentice series. I've finished the Mephisto Club recently and really enjoyed it as well as the others. I know she has also written other titles which are not about Jane Rizzoli and co but they dont appeal to me for some reason. Has anyone here read any of her stuff and what do you think of them? :readingtwo:

[scottishbookworm]

I'm a huge Tess Gerritsen fan and I enjoy the titles you've mentioned only I've not read "Apprentice" or "surgeon"

I read her books as well as reading books by Ian rankin:D

Charm, your query has been merged with an existing thread. There's also a thread about The Mephisto Club (http://bookclubforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1634), an interview with Tess (http://authorinterviews.wordpress.com/category/tess-gerritsen/), plus she was a Featured Author (http://bookclubforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4868).

[madcow]

Charm I've also read all the Rizzoli/Isles series and loved them. I have read a couple of her other books and they (IMO) are just as good.

No probs Michelle, thanks. I'll check out the links :)

[Wonders disciple]

Bought most of her books for my girlfriend, she likes what she has read so far of body double. I have read The surgeon, Body double and enjoyed both of them.

Her books are brill. If you've enjoyed these two then check out her website. :D

The Rizolli and Isles series is much better if you read them in order though.:)
