Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We first meet Jane Rizzoli in book 1, 'The Surgeon', but who is the other main female character we are introduced to?

Answer: Catherine Cordell

When we meet Jane Rizzoli, we discover that she is the only female police officer on the Boston PD team. However, that does not mean that there is a lack of female characters; Catherine Cordell, a witness to a homicide that had happened several years previously, is introduced to the reader. The doctor is soon pursued by the murderer, who has chosen her as his victim.
2. In which book is the reader first introduced to Agent Dean from the FBI?

Answer: The Apprentice

Agent Dean is from the FBI, with a cool manner that could give others the false impression that he has no emotions. This is not true as he eventually manages to win over even the stubborn Jane Rizzoli.
3. What is the first name of the psychologist, Dr Zucker?

Answer: Lawrence

His character is rather curious and does not appear in the books very often. When he does, it is possible to see that he works as a psychologist for the Boston PD and seems to know more about Jane's true emotions than she is actually showing.
4. What was the name of the nun who was killed in 'The Sinner' before they discovered that she had given birth?

Answer: Camile

There were numerous clues in the book, suggesting that she had been pregnant, one of which is a used sanitary towel in the bathroom. After further investigations, it is discovered that the baby was born dead and anencephalic (this means that the brain was not fully developed).They also discovered that it had been her father who had been the child's father.
5. In "Body Double", Maura meets her birth mother; what is her name?

Answer: Amathea

She discovers that her mother is a murderer, virtually crazy and unintelligible. After meeting her in the prison, Maura wonders if her mother's eyes were the eyes of evil, and whether she had inherited anything other than her looks from her mother.
6. In 'Vanish', a new addition is made to the Rizzoli family- baby Regina. Who actually suggested the name to begin with?

Answer: Angela Rizzoli

Regina, meaning queenly, was suggested by Jane's mother, Angela when they couldn't think of anything else to call her. Jane quickly shortened it to 'Reggie'.
7. In 'The Mephisto Club' the word Peccavi appears after the murder of Lori Ann Tucker. What does it mean?

Answer: I have sinned

Peccavi, meaning "I have sinned", seriously confuses the police team so that they are left to wonder whether the killings are the results of Satanic cults.
8. In 'The Mephisto Club', which well known character, who was first introduced in 'The Apprentice', died after her throat was cut?

Answer: Joyce O'Donnel

Joyce O'Donnel met her end in 'The Mephisto Club' after the murder cut her through and apparently dragged her upstairs. During the time she died, Maura had tried to help her to survive but was unable to as the injury was too serious.
9. The first victim in 'The Mephisto Club' was found mutilated in her home. Where did they find her head?

Answer: Kitchen

In the dining room, the place settings had been laid out as though ready for a meal for four. One of those plates was covered with a napkin, under which was the victim's left hand. The majority of the body was in the bedroom while the head was in the kitchen. As you can see, this particular book is not for the faint hearted.
10. Which character is the reader introduced to in 'The Sinner', who becomes very good friends with Maura?

Answer: Father Brophy

Father Brophy is described as the one man that Maura can never be with because of his occupation. Unfortunately, they find themselves becoming more and more attracted to one another.
