Gerritsen is a terrific writer and The Silent Girl was the perfect antidote while I was battling a nasty cold. The Chinese legends mixed with modern day myths while Rizzoli tries to solve a new murder interwoven with old ones captivated me from the start.

Average to below average. Thought this would have extra spark because of the author's & the setting's shared Asian background, but no. Read Henry Chang's Chinatown Beat instead.

It's been some time since I've read her books. This one exceeded all my expectations - a mix of legal and oriental history make this an excellent and non-stop, page-turning read!

This is the second Gerritsen novel I have read. What a contrast it is to her novel, "Whistleblower". I much preferred "SIlent Girl" and thus will read other Rizzoli novels.

I LOVE Tess Gerritsen and this book!

Completedly agreed, it could have been a little better.

The tenth book in this stellar series and Tess Gerritsen is still able to write characters that pop! While not the best of the series, this book still deserves a look. As with her other books, Gerritsen weaves an intriguing mystery that keeps you guessing till the end.

The book had a good feeling for me because I related to the culture of the book and the background. I enjoyed the simplicity of the main characters, the complexity of some of the side characters, and it was an overall easy read. I didn't think the story was very original and it had a feeling of an old kung fu movie from back in the day. I previously read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and I found it was basically a similar story and ending. That made it somewhat anti-climactic to me. Still an overall enjoyable read.

I loved this mystery in the Rizzoli and Isles series. This is one in which Jane Rizzoli takes center stage and it is very interesting. I enjoyed the use of Chinese mythology in the story. The mystery proves to be a tough one to crack ad the solving of it was the more enjoyable because of that. Tam, a new policeman in this story is a breath of fresh air and I hope he shows up in future volumes in the series.

I loved this book!! Although it is different than all other Rizzoli/Iles novel, I thought that it was a great change, the mixture of the old and the new. Loved the fable combination with the real life. Its good to have something that finally reflect her background.
