Keepsake | Tess Gerritsen
33 posts | 63 read | 9 to read
For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston s Crispin Museum. Dubbed Madam X, the recently rediscovered mummy is, to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact. But medical examiner Maura Isles discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse horrifying proof that this centuries-old relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the grisly remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a maniac is at large. Now Maura and Jane must unravel a murderer s twisted endgame before the Archaeology Killer adds another chilling artifact to his monstrous collection."

❤️‍🔥Loved this series instalment!

Truth: Even though the book & tv series differ, greatly in some cases, I‘m with that ‘cause let‘s face it…the movie playing out in my head still features Angie Harmon & Sasha Alexander🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

TheSpineView Great job! 2mo

2019 no. 3 -- I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first two in the R&I series. Jane and Maura make a good team, despite their differences.

I received this yesterday from @TheWordJar along with Black Orchids. Thankfully I‘ve read it before so I was able to add my thoughts/notes to the journal quickly. It‘ll be on its way to you on Monday @Marmie7 Now we‘ll both have a book to read for this round and hopefully start getting back on track instead of skipping months and then getting multiple books in one mailing. 🤞🏻. #whodunitbymail

Marmie7 Sounds good! Thank you😁 6y

Got some fun #bookmail the other day! I received the next two #whodunitbymail books from @MaleficentBookDragon and some great #jb notes from @Lovesbooks87 @Morr_Books and @JoScho I‘ll be sending out replies soon!

PS—I sent out #jb notes to @Mimi28 and @sweetpealsd but I don‘t think I put my Litsy name on them! 😬 So, if you received a note from Wisconsin and didn‘t know who it was from, it‘s me! 😁

JoScho 😊💖 6y
Kaye Great start ! Have fun ❣️ 6y
Mimi28 Lol, it‘s cool, I looked at the addresses and figured it out. I got it yesterday or today. I am going to reply tomorrow. Thanks!! 😊👍❤️ 6y

Marmie7 Thank you for the quick reply!😊 6y
Kaye Hi Jessica. I‘m trying to locate the #jb map packet. Do you still have it ? I know Tammy didn‘t get it yet. Thank you. 6y
TheWordJar @Kaye Yes! I still have it. I was unable to find any postcards in my area, so I ordered some and they should be here this week. It will be on its way next week! 📬 6y
Kaye Thanks very much. I forgot to check on it and see where it might be by now. Thank you for letting me know. 🌷 6y

This was a thrilling and fast paced story. I couldn‘t put it down.

I didn‘t realize that Rizzoli and Isle was a book series before it was a tv show, which I have never watched. I especially enjoyed the historical aspect of this story.

BookishBelle Dave Matthews Band. I‘m seeing them here in May. Still can‘t believe they‘re coming to MS! Also: Yay Utah! I miss SLC sometimes; particularly the mountains and The Pie and the City Library and Trax. Okay. I‘ll stop. 😁 7y
AmberWB Pearl Jam!!! 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @JaclynW I saw Depeche Mode a few months back and they were amazing! They put on a good show. @bookishbelle born and raised in Utah but now living in Oregon. I miss the mountains the most and I use to miss Chick Fil A But we finally got one here. The Pie! Such good pizza. 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @TheKidUpstairs I don‘t think I‘ve heard of them. I‘ll have to check them out. 7y
TheKidUpstairs @That-Bookish-Hiker Their album 'Z' is the best. It's great start to finish, but Off the Record is my favourite song of theirs. 7y
JaclynW @That-Bookish-Hiker Depeche Mode does put on a great show! I saw them in London in June 2017. I took my son, it was his first concert ever. So much fun! Chick-fil-a is a frequent stop for us too. 😄@BookishBelle All the things you mentioned I love too! You forgot fry sauce though! 😉😄 7y

Enjoying lunch at home. My work building closed due to the snow and sent me home.

Found this beautiful bookmark in my #whodunitbymail book. @Alfoster does this go with the book when I mail it to the next person?

#bookandlunch

Alfoster Yes! I found it too!❤️ 7y
GypsyKat The hubs took a mental health day today and we went out to lunch and enjoyed our Spring-like weather. I‘m pretty sure your weather is heading this way though. ☀️🌦🌨❄️ 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @gypsykat I hope you just get the rain part. Luckily it hasn‘t been as bad here but the city is being very cautious and telling everyone to get home before 5 because I guess that‘s when the worse of the storm will happen. We have exactly one once of snow right now so it‘s hard not to laugh at this circus they are making. I‘m from Utah so snow doesn‘t scare me. But I do worry about the drivers here who don‘t know how to drive in snow. 7y
GypsyKat @That-Bookish-Hiker Hopefully everyone will be safe there. We typically get lots of snow here, the nice weather today is weird. 7y

Crazy obsessive killer is after women who have dark black hair and look eerily similar to someone he cannot owned years back. They thot they have found a ‘mummy‘ but the mummy is mummified 20 over years ago. Someone is killing the women and mummified them. Detective Barry Frost‘s mask finally crack in this 📚. I enjoy the pace and plot of this 📚. #tessgerritsen

Received my next #WhoDunItByMail book, #TheKeepsake from @EllieDottie this weekend. I will be sending off #IQ this week. For years a preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the basement of a Museum. ME Maura Isles finds a message within the corpse–proving this relic is instead a modern-day murder victim. When the remains of two other women are found, it becomes clear to Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli that a killer is at large. #TBR

I'm a little behind on my #whodunitbymail but I finished it last night and just sent it out! I love the show Rizzoli & Isles, but I've never read any of the books until now! I'm so glad I read this! It was really good and I will definitely read more in the series! It should be there by the 11th @Jess7 (sorry about the one day late)!!

Jess7 No worries. I'm still trying to finish the one you sent me last. I'm hoping the timeframe gets extended to every six weeks. @Tiffy_Reads put together a poll. You can vote on there. 7y
EllieDottie Thanks @jess7! I just voted! 7y
Captivatedbybooks I'm fine with that too @Jess7 7y
Captivatedbybooks The books are good. They dont run the same like the show which i enjoyed that difference 7y

I love this series! I read this in a day and it's just as good as the others. All the trademarks of a Tess Gerritsen novel, twists, turns and whole lot of gory blood. These books should give me nightmares!!! Loved the Egyptian connection.

Epic fail on #litsypartyofone and #24hrtbrreadathon for me. We ended up having a spontaneous cookout and lots of family over so very little reading for me. Settling in with my book club read now and just praying everyone leaves me be so I can get it read by Tuesday now. #bookclubread

Anyone else feel a little irritated when you're on lunch break at work and you're trying to read and someone has to call you? Yeah, me too.

AlaMich Or my coworkers also on their breaks want to TALK to me!! The nerve! My coworkers are also fond of watching Maury Povich on breaks. Hard to read with all the screaming on that show. 😠 (edited) 8y
