Reviewing Body Double

Tess Gerritsen’s Body Double is book three in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I have read the first four books of the series (I read three and four out of order). So far, Body Double is easily my favorite book in the series. I have enjoyed all four books, but Body Double is simply outstanding.
