Klub Mefista

Product Information

Pirmasis toks įvertinimas Rizoli&Ailz knygų serijoje. Tai jau šeštoji dalis ir su pagrindinėmis veikėjomis susigyventa, jos puikios ir užburinčios. Tad šį kart kiek glausčiau.

Rizzoli’s parents are breaking up. A somewhat amusing diversion to the murder case to provide a few lighter moments. Meanwhile, the feelings Maura Isles for Father Daniel Brophy has been battling over the last couple of books are brought to a head here. This forbidden relationship is fraught with problems and threatens to drive a wedge between the friendship formed by Rizzoli and Isles. Both Detective Jane Rizzoli and Dr. Maura Isles drew the short straw this particular Christmas and witness the horrific murder scene. “Peccavi.” Who wrote the message?” And for whom is it meant? Soon there is another death, with more symbols. This one strikes close to home. What is the Mephisto Club? Can its leader, Anthony Sansone, be trusted? He seems to be everywhere, to be given wide berth by law enforcement. Yet Jane is wary. She has good reason. One of the members of Mephisto is Dr. Joyce O’Donnell, the neuropsychiatrist who testified in the court trial of Warren Hoyt, the man who tried to kill her and left her scarred for life. She has no love for Joyce O’Donnell, nor does she believe in devils or evil spirits. Many others have outlined the plot of THE MEPHISTO CLUB, so let me just say a few things: this is a great storyline, original, and handled deftly. The action-adventure is non-stop throughout the book, and although you know, basically from the beginning of the story, who the bad guy is, it doesn't stop the book from being interesting and intriguing. The story begins with a murder on Christmas Eve that appears to be a satanic ritual. A group of amateur sleuths with a lot of money and less experience become involved making the investigation difficult for the police officer Rizzoli. The medical examiner Isles works with her.Kalėdų išvakarėse detektyvė Džeinė Ricoli yra iškviečiama į siaubingo nusikaltimo vietą, kur žiauriai buvo nužudyta jauna moteris. The sixth book in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I have enjoyed reading the books in this series but this is probably my least favorite. It was still an enjoyable read but it was too Dan Brownish. Too much demons / the devil, the bible, secret societies, etc. I understand how Jane Rizzoli felt in this story. I really didn't like this one all that much. I was actually able to put it down and walk away from it. In summary, a bang-up good job and highly entertaining read. My next in this series will be #7. Can't wait! The fact that a message in Latin has been left at the scene, translated as “I have sinned”, suggests that the murder is both personal and an act of some kind of revenge or recrimination. But the killer has only just started, leaving murder scenes just as confronting as the first but, fortunately for the police, prone to also leaving clues with the bodies.

It is Christmas Eve and both Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles draw the short straws when they are called out to a brutal murder scene. Even the cops are stunned by the brutality. Lots of blood and body parts. PECCAVI ( I HAVE SINNED) is written in blood ... along with upside down crosses. And there is a link to Dr. Joyce O’Donnell, the celebrity psychiatrist and Rizzoli's nemesis. Naturally Dr. O’Donnell gives Jane a hard time and won't say where she was or who she was with at the time of the murder. Only that she was with friends. Turns out the friends were members of the Mephisto Club.There’s a great deal of symbolism used throughout this book, some of it drawing on biblical references, others on pre-scripture works as well as traditional beliefs. There’s a lot to digest but this also provides a rich trail to follow ensuring that the investigation always appears to be progressing.

With the grisly appearance of a corpse on the Mephisto Club's doorstep, it's clear that someone - or something - is indeed prowling the city. The members begin to fear the very subject of their study. Have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity from the darkness?I’m not sure that I’d rank The Mephisto Club among my favorites of the series so far, but it did keep me interested, mostly because of the characters, frankly. I did appreciate what the author did with the themes, too. Her enthusiasm and training definitely make a difference! This was a creepy story that focused on one of my least favorite topics. Mythical demons and their spawns are not my cuppa, which negatively influenced my rating. So, if this is a subject you find intriguing, I highly recommend the story as it’s well researched and written. There’s a secondary storyline involving Maura and Daniel Brody that I did find interesting as well as the story surrounding the killer who is identified at the beginning.

The Mephisto Club is the sixth Rizzoli and Isles book, and if I’m being honest it is probably my least favourite thus far. It was still an enjoyable read, but I didn’t love it in the way I loved the five prior books. I’m unsure if this is because it has been so long since I read Vanish or whether it was the story itself but I’m hoping I’ll enjoy The Keepsake a lot more. I have skipped #5, though, as it involves a crime in a hospital setting with a hostage situation, etc. I don't like those kinds of stories; I find them tedious with everyone kind of holding static in place.) The Mephisto Club is a secret society that studies evil. Do demons walk among us? Does it have a physical presence? Using historical data and mysterious religious symbolism they aim to prove that Satan exists among us. Their leader, Anthony Sansone, is mysterious and wealthy. He also seems to have connections at very high levels. Jane has no choice but to work with him. Jane doesn't believe in demons, the devil, or symbology. As far as she is concerned the Mephisto Club is nothing more than an amateur crime fighting club. Maura Isles finds herself being drawn into the club accidentally. Guilt by association. That association being that she was at the crime scenes.The one thing I can clearly attribute to my lowered enjoyment is the attention paid to the private life of Isles. Ever since we started to get glimpses into her private life, I’ve found myself somewhat disinterested in the events outside of the criminal elements of the story. I positively adore following Rizzoli’s life – I’ve become so invested, I always want more – yet I cannot bring myself to feel the same way about Isles. I’m not sure what it is about her in particular, but I’m nowhere near as invested in her life. The main character becomes Lily Saul with a "evil" Christianity spirit & a "fallen" angel (Devil) after her? Her parents & Teddy (brother) killed.
