It really doesn't take a whole lot to amuse me, so I fell right into this short story full force and loved it.  I've always liked Tess Gerritsen's books, but I haven't read one in a while. I haven't even seen the TV show, but I will be sure to tune in after reading this.The two ladies, Rizzoli and Isles, are called out to St. Anthony's Church which has been boarded up for quite some time.  Of course, a victime lies dead inside the church and along with the bats who live in the church, there is an open coffin but without a body in it. There is a suspect, but is he guilty or not?This is a fast-paced and well-written story that caught my attention from the first paragraph right to the end.  I, for one, didn't figure out the perpetrator until it was revealed, and I'm glad I didn't.  I loved the story and also the first part of a new novel that is introduced after the short story.Some have complained about the story being a lead-in for the next novel, as well as the first few pages of it, but if I were a writer, I'd want some marketing out there and some advertisement for my books, too.  After all, we have a good free story to read and no one forces anyone to buy the books.  I say it's great marketing!
