When an earthquake strikes San Francisco, forensics expert Jessie Teska faces her biggest threat yet in this explosive new mystery from the bestselling authors of Working Stiff.

At first glance, the death appears to be an accident. The body, located on a construction site, rests under a collapsed beam. But when Dr. Jessie Teska arrives on the scene, she notices the telltale signs of a staged death. The victim has been murdered. A rising star in the San Francisco forensics world, Teska is ready to unravel the case, help bring the murderer to justice, and prevent them from potentially striking again.

But when a major earthquake hits San Francisco right before Halloween, Teska and the rest of the city are left reeling. And even if she emerges from the rubble, with a murderer on the loose, there's no guaranteeing she will make it out alive.

With Melinek and Mitchell's trademark blend of propulsive prose, deft plotting, and mordant humor, this electrifying new installment in the Jessie Teska Mystery series offers the highest stakes yet.

Great Sequel in the Teska series

Intriguing, thrilling dive back into the life and profession of medical examiner Jessie Teska in the sequel to First Cut. Great read. Plenty of gory forensics (thankfully we can’t smell what Jessie smells in her line of work)! I’d say this book is even better than the first one. Must read!

This book is fascinating. The authenticity shines through. It has surprising twists that keeps the reader guessing till the end. A great, classical whodunnit mixed in a strong sense of realism

Another action filled page turner from Judy M & TJ

I haven't enjoyed a book this much in quite a while, probably since Judy & TJ's last book. The science was easy to understand, the flow of the story was gripping and it was just the right amount of action, mystery and human experience. Tino pai!

Good, fast paced mystery

Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2021

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

We meet Dr Jessie Teska on a construction site where a well known architect has died a gruesome death. She quickly figures out that the death is murder rather than an accident it appears to be. But before we can get too caught up in working out who the killer is, an earthquake hits the city and the story takes a new direction. Between Jessie dealing with the emergency of the quake and its aftermath and boyfriend trouble, I nearly forgot about the dead architect.

I confess I guessed early on who the killer was but I had no idea how or why. This wasn’t an issue for me because Aftershock kept me engaged and I enjoyed having the questions of the how and whys answered while at the same time dealing with Jessie’s hectic life.

It was fun to be back with Dr Jessie Teska. She is stubborn, single minded and doesn’t always make the smart decision. It is great to have an imperfect heroine. Another great thing about Aftershock is the diversity of the characters. The people in Jessie’s life come from all different walks of life and it added interest and helped make the story feel more genuine.

Aftershock is another good mystery in the Jessie Teska series and it isn’t essential to have read the previous book to read this one. I look forward to more of Jessie’s adventures and to seeing where her personal life goes. If you enjoy a good mystery, Aftershock is worth a read.

Wise up, Jessie!

Reviewed in the United States on 11 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Jessie gets herself into trouble a few times in this book, and if you care about her (as you must if you read First Cut, her first adventure) you'll find yourself wishing she were a little more sensible sometimes. Jessie is a very endearing woman, and I hope she wises up a little in the next book in the series. If you like a story that realistically explores annoying co-workers, aggressive clients, antagonistic professional relationships, imperfect personal relationships and a hearty dose of mystery, with a little bit of romance tastefully thrown in, you'll love Aftershock-- written by a friend of mine who really is, in real life, a forensic pathologist. Prepare for a few gory details about dead bodies that add to the delicious realism!

One is the best books that I’ve read in a very long time! Don’t sleep on this series!

I just finished Aftershock, and all I can say is WOW!!! This book hooked me from the very beginning, and I had to keep reading until I finished. I thought the first book in this series was excellent, but Aftershock was even better. Beyond being extremely well written and engaging, the detail in this book is amazing. I have no idea how the authors came up with such unexpected plot twists and still managed to wrap the book up in such a completely believable fashion, but I really hope they continue to write!!! And that they do it quickly!

I am a pathologist with forensic training. It is a pleasure to read
a novel with detailed procedures and facts and use them to tell
an interesting story with a convoluted plot.

Do not start reading late at night...

Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2021

Do not start reading late at night... Because you won't be able to put it down and you'll be up late and tired the next day. Twisty plot and gorey details make for a great whodunnit. My only criticism isn't of the book but of the heroine, who seems to leave her dog unattended for too long, too often.
