"Not knowing each other, we think the best of each other." - Tess Gerritsen, The Surgeon

Virtually every self-respecting crime series features a mix of partners, and alongside the detective(s) there's always support from another field: a writer, psychologist, doctor, etc. In this case, we have the medical examiner, Dr. Maura Isles.

It's a combination that works really well in a crime novel, and the series, thanks to the author's trained profession (an internist), boasts quite graphic descriptions of human anatomy.

I started this series because I received the first two volumes as a gift, and then I was hooked :-) So, if you like crime novels and are a fan of "Dr. House" or "The Pitt," I can wholeheartedly recommend this series.

And now, let's see how other readers perceive this story and if their impressions are as intense as those flowing from the pages of this series:

I love the Rizzoli & Isles series. This is where my adventure with crime novels began. I especially love those with descriptions of human anatomy and autopsies (occupational hazard). I recommend every Tess book - she will always be my favorite crime author!

A brilliantly written crime novel. It draws you in from the very beginning. I really liked the ending. Without unnecessary dragging out for half the book. The main character's personality is very well conveyed. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

This book definitely made me want to read more by this author. The action was fast-paced throughout, and once I started reading, it was genuinely hard to put down. I regret not starting with 'The Surgeon,' but it's already waiting on my nightstand :) I hope to be just as pleasantly surprised.

Autumn colors at home – shades that bring peace and warmth

Do you remember autumn from your childhood, when the leaves changed color like a kaleidoscope, and your mom would pull out the pumpkin-colored sweater she'd worn since college? Or those evenings in front of the TV while a storm raged outside, and the lamplight in the house gave everything a warm, amber hue? Those were the days when no one talked about "color palettes" or "color stories"—colors simply existed, as natural as breathing. Today, when we can choose from 50 shades of gray (and no, I'm not talking about THAT book), we sometimes lose track of what truly makes a home feel cozy. At Pillovely, we believe that autumn colors aren't a trend—they're a return to what makes us feel safe. Because "You are someone"—someone who deserves a space filled with colors that snuggle like a grandma's blanket.
