Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic detective made famous in The Bone Collector is back in a thriller from the masterful Jeffery Deaver. When a sadistic killer leaves clocks at his murder scenes, will time run out for the criminologist and his partner Amelia Sachs?

On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer’s calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims’ last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence—and Rhyme can’t afford to have his trusted partner Amelia Sachs distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself.©2006 Jeffery Deaver; (P)2006 Simon & Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved.

I like Deaver alot but this story didn't grab me to well. The reader is good at some books but others he isn't to great. Lincoln Rhyme is a great character though.

Its alright.

The book moves at a fast pace, keeping the reader's attention throughout. One of my favorites, although all of the Lincoln Rhyme series are favorites.

Classic Rhymes

I've read or listened to a number of Deaver titles and really enjoy his stories and style. Without giving too much away, this story was clipping along right well when it suddenly became farcical and unbelievable. As a result, the rest of the book became fodder that I simply limped through.

The reader was good but I'd select a different Deaver title such as "The Bone Collector," "The Coffin Dancer," "The Empty Chair," or "The Blue Nowhere."

Strained Believability (Possible Spoiler)

It seems like it might be a good story, but this is only an ABRIDGED version. It suffers as a result. Even worse (much worse), the reader is frankly terible. I was disappointed.

Excellent book - excellent author.
