Gerritsen, Tess. The
Sinner. New York, NY: Random House Publishing Group, 2003. Print.
355 pages
This is the third installment in the Rizzoli and Isles series. Tess Gerritsen continues her exploration of evil in a story about two nuns who were murdered in their convent. The story spans across continents with a connection to a chemical plant in India.
At this point in the
series, Gerritsens’ characters have started to materialize in a more personal
way. The depth of character has deepened and readers can start to feel attached
to them. We’ve spent enough time with them at this point to feel like old
friends. This makes the tension and suspense in the novel all the greater.
Not without scandalous affairs, The Sinner addresses evil from a number of angles. Much like The Surgeon, it explores how evil can be just around the corner. An otherwise average human can have an alternative life that we know nothing about.
In addition, this novel explores the concept of corporate greed as a source of evil in the world. Corporate greed is not only found in large corporations but in charitable organizations and smaller businesses as well. It can be the source of atrocities, including what unfolds in this story.
