Spalding Library’s book club members are reading a murder mystery this month. “The Apprentice” by Tess Gerritsen, is the second of the Rizzoli and Isles series and takes place in a boiling hot Boston summer. Adding to the city’s woes is a series of shocking crimes, in which wealthy men are made to watch while their wives are brutalized. A sadistic demand that ends in abduction and death. The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the city’s streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that’s what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her—literally and figuratively—she is determined to finally end Hoyt’s awful influence. But this time around, the vendetta is more vicious than she ever would have imagined (from the publisher). Stop by the library and pick up your copy of this fast paced mystery today!
