Plot

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.

My Analysis

I’ve enjoyed many of the books in this series. The narrator of this one also does the Stephanie Plum series, so I had to get past her voice because SP is the only other books I’ve heard her read.

For the most part, she does all right with the voices.

The story is a complex, creepy tale that held me to the end. This one has secrets to be revealed all the way through and twists that are difficult to unwind. This crosses states and finds murders all across the country.

The characters have their own little subplots going which is fine. They tend to span books and don’t get resolved all in one shot. New readers don’t have to be worried about missing something. I think it’s easy to pick up on the side stuff.

Good book. Good plot. Good voices. Good action.
