Rizzoli & Isles Season Three Premieres on June 5th! Yay! From the very first episode, I was hooked on Rizzoli & Isles. Best friends and partners in crime Jane and Maura couldn't be more different, yet couldn't be more alike. One of my favorite episodes from Season Two was 'Seventeen Ain't So Sweet'. Jane heads to her high school reunion and brings along Maura, for moral support. The fun is cut short after a series of murders take place all involving fellow students. Jane is forced to focus on the past to help solve the case when she realizes that everyone in her class is a potential suspect. She learns that some of her high school friends aren't quite what they appear to … [Read more...]
