1: Love her books
I picked up one of her books one day and have since read all of her books to date. She is a great writer and I have like all of her books. Obviously some of a little better than others, but they are terrific. I especially love the one on-going books with the woman detective, Jane Rizzoli. Terrific!

2: More compelling stories from Tess Gerritsen
Tess Gerritsen's reputation for finely crafted, and finely penned, mystery/suspense stories continue with these two novelettes. I couldn't put this book down until I'd finished both stories, when I was sorry that it was all over and there were no more words to read. Excellent offerings from an excellent author.

3: Never Say Die/Whistle Blower
I enjoyed this book very much. It is a true Tess Gerritsen mystery and keeps you engaged from beginning to end.

4: Not Up to Her Par
The author must groan when she rereads these works. The gulf between these two books and The Bone Garden is clearly illustrative of the evolution of the author's style and maturity of plot creation and prose. In The Bone Garden, Tess's writing is beginning to move from grocery store entertainment to literature, offering sophisticated plot development and truly fine writing. Never Say Die and Whistleblower, while as readable as any of her stories, offer predictable plots, embarrassingly formulaic dialog, sappy romantic scenarios, and unrealistic police process. I love Tess's books and have read every one. But readers are best served to enter into these stories with an understanding that they are early works, and she had not yet hit her literary stride. I find it fascinating to see how much her writing has matured in the 15+ years since these romance genre books were written. If you are a Tess fan, read them--but be prepared they are not up to her current century par.

5: Tess takes you away!
This is the first book I have read of Tess Gerritsen's and if these 2 books are an example of her writing and ability to take you to a place you've never been, I will be reading more of her works.
The first book, "Never Say Die", is set in Vietnam and I could just feel the humidity! The story and plot was well thought out and the characters were well developed. It was a very fast read and I enjoyed it immensely.
The second book, Whistleblower" was equaling enthralling. The storyline was believeable and I was exhausted just reading about what the main characters went through! The two main characters were both strong and likeable, which is a change from the guy 'saving' the woman in distress.
Both these books would make great movies.
