Rizolli & Isles Giveaway

I received a notice from a contact of mine about a new series that I thought sounded ok.  Then I happened to see the preview the next day and didn’t even realize at first that it was the same show, but when I saw the preview, I immediately went to the DVR and set it up to record so I wouldn’t miss it.  What was the show? Rizzoli & Isles on TNT. I watched it this week and have now set it to record all new episodes.  Now it will be added to my growing list of television that I record and then have to pile up and watch them all in one day (thank you TNT for giving me another show to love…lol) since life gets so busy. Best friends, Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander) work together solving crimes. Yep, I have found that I love crime shows – NCIS, Psych, Law & Order, The Closer…the list goes on and on.  LOL Official Show Description

RIZZOLI & ISLES follows Boston detective Jane Rizzoli (Harmon) and medical examiner Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), complete opposites and good friends who solve crimes and bust some of Boston’s most notorious criminals. Growing up at opposite ends of the economic spectrum, the two remain strikingly different from one another in many ways. Jane, the only female detective in Boston’s homicide division, is a tough and gutsy cop who doesn’t let her guard down (except with Maura), dodges her overprotective mother and is better at basketball than her brother. Maura, meanwhile, is usually more comfortable among the dead than the living. She is always impeccably dressed in designer duds with a steady, sometimes icy temperament. And she is working on curbing her tendency to diagnose the people she meets – including her first dates. Jane and Maura often find themselves working together as both use their brilliant minds and expertise to figure out the “who done it” as well as the “how done it” of Boston’s most complex cases. Despite their many differences, Jane and Maura are best friends, with a quirky and supportive relationship. As Tamaro explains, “That Jane and Maura are so different and yet so effective as a team makes them unusual. There’s something rare about their relationship that I see in the world but not enough on television: two smart, strong, competent women who instinctively drop the protective shield when they’re with each other.” RIZZOLI & ISLES also stars Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos) as Angela, Jane’s demanding and intrusive mother; Lee Thompson Young (FlashForward) as Det. Barry Frost, Jane’s somewhat green partner; Bruce McGill (Law Abiding Citizen) as Det. Vince Korsak, Jane’s seasoned former partner; and Jordan Bridges (Dawson’s Creek) as Jane’s brother, Frankie, a patrol cop who hopes one day to become a detective.

The characters are based on the Rizolli & Isles book series by author Tess Gerritsen whom you might also know from The Surgeon, The Apprentice, and Vanish. Thanks to our supporters, I’ve been given the opportunity to share with you a giveaway for one of Tess’s books – The Apprentice.  I have to admit to being jealous that I didn’t get a review copy of this too.
