Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Mephisto Club (Rizzoli & Isles #6)
Homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are called to the scene of the brutal murder of a young woman. Strange symbols and a cryptic message are clues that lead them to an even stranger group of people who are members of the Mephisto Foundation, a group of scholars who believe in and study the history of evil. Even more disturbing is the discovery that Dr. Joyce O’Donnell is a member and evidence suggests the killer is somehow connected to her.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 narrator, Kathe Mazur, was outstanding as she adeptly grasped the nature of each character, providing distinction and resonance. She also added a creep factor to match the story. Even though this wasn’t my most favorite of the stories in the series, it still was pretty interesting and had an exciting climax. 3.5 stars

The Mephisto Club is the sixth Rizzoli and Isles book, and if Im being honest it is probably my least favourite thus far. It was still an enjoyable read, but I didnt love it in the way I loved the five prior books. Im unsure if this is because it has been so long since I read Vanish or whether it was the story itself but Im hoping Ill enjoy The Keepsake a lot more.The one thing I can clearly attribute to my lowered enjoyment is the attention paid to the private life of Isles. Ever since weAnother Rizzoli and Isles book draws to a close for me. A great story with quite a bit of excitement. I still feel sorry for Maura. She's heading down a road that is going to leave her with nothing but heartbreak. She deserves happiness.As for the friendship between Maura and Jane I still want in the books what I see in the tv series. They are friends but it just doesn't feel like a deep friendship. I don't see a great deal of closeness, just judgement and anger at times. I don't know if they
I think I should start out by mentioning that anything about demons or the Devil just scares the hell out of me. I'm not a particularly religious person, but was just traumatized by my viewing of The Exorcist when I was about twelve years old. So, yeah, I'm a wimp when it comes to that sort of stuff. However, I am inexplicably drawn towards the subject probably because I like to be scared sometimes (when it's daytime, of course). So, The Mephisto Club was right up my alley with Rizzoli and Isles
Ever since Maura Isles got the spotlight in this series, I've been complaining how pathetic she is when it comes to her love life. Seriously, she keeps on trying to fall in love to every attractive guy who looks at her. How come a logical and level-headed medical examiner can make such stupid moves is beyond me. Anyway, The Memphisto Club is the sixth book in the Rizzoli and Isles series. We got some stabbings here, some bullets flying between the good and the evil, a weird club and a ton of
The Mephisto Club was full of suspense, medical details and some more of the backstory of Jane and Laura. However, I did not enjoy it as much as some other Rizzoli and Isles stories too dark and personal with a few unbelievable decisions like (view spoiler)[ hiding in an isolated manor to evade a killer isnt this the perfect spot to struck again? (hide spoiler)]. So catching that pure evil was not as satisfying as it could have been.
I really didn't like this one all that much. I was actually able to put it down and walk away from it.I was not thrilled with the character development in this one, there was really only two surprising things...(view spoiler)[Jane's parents are separated and her dad is seeing some bimbo, and Maura and Father Daniel Brophy finally sleep together. Yucko in my book! (hide spoiler)]The overall plot wasn't that good. I was not truly scared reading about the boy's perspective, it was interesting only
