Listen to Me by Tess Gerritsen
This novel is the thirteenth book in the series featuring Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. Here the duo begin with the case of a much-loved nurse, Sofia Suarez, who is murdered in her own home with indications that it wasn't simply a burglary gone wrong. As they dig deeper, they find recent changes in behaviour, including calls to old colleagues and burner phones, and a connection to a hit-and-run victim from months earlier.
At the same time, Jane's mom Angela is pressing her about a missing teenager from down the street, and strangely secretive new neighbours. When Angela feels that her fears are being ignored, she begins to take matters into her own hands.
I enjoyed the plot line with Angela and her nosiness into her street's goings-on. She is obviously missing her partner, who is out of town dealing with family, and has time on her hands. The more involved case central to Jane's work is interesting as the connections begin to appear. We see some elements before we fully understand them, but I liked trying to make the connections myself.
A compelling read.
