I've enjoyed the Rizzili & Isles TV show but have not yet read any of Tess Gerritsen's novels. But I certainly shall be reading them soon. This short story is a quick read - I don't have a problem with this fact, as I expect short stories to be just that - short. It is also a good story, that has elements of characterization, action and suspense entirely appropriate to its length.The sample chapters of the full length novel that follow the short story are intriguing enough to make me want to read the whole thing.  I don't understand why some reviewers are so negative about this - yes, it'a a marketing ploy, but hardly a new one - many writers put an extract from their next book at the end of the current one.I appreciate being given his short story for free; I now have a great deal of reading pleasure to come with the full length works.
