Last to Die definitely stands out as one of my favourite novels written by Tess Gerritsen along with Die Again and Playing with Fire. After finishing The Silent Girl, I actually intended to read either Finding Audrey or Three Dark Crowns, but I was cautious and eventually I opted once again for a novel belonging to my favourite genre. About 4 years ago I read Body Double, my first encounter with the Rizzoli & Isles book and ever since I've been coming back to this series eager and full of great expectations. Tess Gerritsen has proved that she has the capability of constructing each installment in this series differently regarding the plot, the points of view, the setting and this is the reason why I've never got bored. I also enjoy the fact that apart from the main characters, there are others as well who feature in more than one novel, such as Anthony Sansone, Lily Saul, Julian Perkins, and I think that this gives continuity to the series. 
 Last to Die is about three children whose families were murdered during the same week a couple years ago and subsequently each one's foster family was murdered as well. Following these tragic events, the three teenagers became students of Evensong, a remote boarding school in Maine destined for children who lost their families tragically and needed help to deal with their childhood traumas. Evensong is a very mysterious school and the teaching methods differ considerably from the common ones. Evensong is meant to offer protection to these children, but a series of unsettling events occurring in the school indicates that the criminals are aware of the children's whereabouts and that the attack is imminent. Detective Jane Rizzoli is convinced that the deaths of the three children's families are connected but she struggles to find a plausible connection between them. 
 Needless to say, the story was frightening and addictive at the same time. It was told from multiple points of view and the numerous twists maintained the suspense. In contrast with other installments in the Rizzoli & Isles series, in Last to Die both Jane and Maura had an almost equally important role and the novel also laid emphasis on the friendship between them. Right now I'm feeling sad because I read all of the novels in the Rizzoli & Isles series which have been released so far. I'm impatient to read the 12th installment which is set to be published in August.
