Description

Two years ago, Detective Sami Rizzo narrowly escaped a brush with death at the hands of a serial killer. After apprehending the killer and bringing him to justice, this life-changing event compels her to resign from the police force. In her heart of hearts, however, she struggles with the decision. But a second serial killer—a well- respected doctor gone astray—uses his charm to seduce his victims and then performs horrific surgical experiments on them. In a final act of depravity, he scatters their mutilated bodies throughout San Diego County. Feeling a sense of duty and obligation, Sami Rizzo appeals to the police chief and mayor, and they reinstate her as a homicide investigator. As the body count grows and the killer’s experiments become more and more brutal, Sami follows one dead-end lead after another, while trying to deal with a sickly mother and a turbulent relationship with her lover. But then the killer makes a crucial mistake: one of his victims survives. Sami does everything to protect the barely alive victim, but the killer has a different plan.

My Review

I received a free copy of the audiobook for an honest review.

I listened to the first Sami Rizzo book, They Never Die Quietly, and was looking forward to listening to this one as well. Even though this is a part of a series, it does stand on its own. I enjoy a good murder mystery and Resuscitation doesn’t disappoint. It is full of mystery, suspense, and drama.

Sami Rizzo, the main character, is still getting over being held by a serial killer a couple of years ago. All of a sudden, she has a lot on her plate personally and professionally. And on top of that there’s now another serial killer on the loose! I like Sami. She hasn’t always made the best decisions but she’s smart and she learns from her mistakes both as a detective and as a woman.

 The narrator did a good job with narrating. She has a pleasant voice and the only difficulty I had was differentiating between the voices of some of the men.

This is definitely a book I recommend especially if you like murder mysteries with twists. I can’t wait to read to the next Sami Rizzo book!

Available on Amazon.
