Book 1 was about Thomas Moore, a homicide detective, and Dr. Catherine Cordell, a trauma surgeon. The setting is still Boston, Massachusetts. However, Book 2 is a follow-up story to Book 1. This time, the book is about Jane Rizzoli, a homicide detective and Maura Isles, the new medical examiner. And, I really enjoyed it.
There is significantly less man-bashing and more character development of Jane Rizzioli. The Apprentice introduced a new character, FBI Agent Gabriel Dean. He makes Rizzoli a much more likeable person, so I hope he continues in further episodes. I've started reading Book 3 so I'll let you know.
The Apprentice is about a serial killer called The Dominator. But, only Rizzoli realizes that he's actually an apprentice to The Surgeon, the serial killer from Book 1. When The Surgeon escapes from a maximum-security prison, she has to find two killers instead of one.
Book 2 was a much better book than Book 1, especially since the story was finally about Rizzoli and Isles. You don't need to read The Surgeon to enjoy The Apprentice; it just provides more in-depth background on the serial killer The Surgeon. Book 1 does help to understand The Surgeon's obsession with Rizzoli in The Apprentice. So, read The Surgeon just knowing the story gets so, so much better with The Apprentice.
The Apprentice had an awesome ending. Clearly, we haven't seen the last of The Surgeon! Oh, yeah.....I recommend.
