Our view
“The Sinner” is a dark, absorbing third Rizzoli & Isles mystery that digs deeper into the lives of its two heroines. Medical examiner Maura Isles and detective Jane Rizzoli work the case side by side, and it makes for a quick, gripping read. Some readers feel the space given to their private lives drains suspense from the investigation. A good pick for readers who follow a series for its characters.
