But then again this is a fiction novel. I am a fan of Jeffery Deaver and once again he comes thru in this book with a real thriller with plot twists and turns that you aren't expecting. Have fun reading. I found it to be a lot of fun to read and enjoy books that keep me guessing until the end and this one did. Is some of it a little unbelievable. Maybe.
Just my.02. Patricia Cornwell went over the edge with the last few books and now sadly Jeffrey Deaver will be joining her in the "won't read it anymore" pile. I'm not saying you have to align with my views, but a fiction/thriller can read just as well without it.
Now I realize that everyone can't have the same opinions or political persuasions but I find it very off putting to be reading happily along only to be side swiped by derogatory comments towards Republicans or "right-wingers". If I want your political opinion, I'll ask for it. I really loved reading all the Jeffrey Deaver I could get my hands on, but unfortunately, it happened.
I want a good psycho-thriller to take me away from reality, even if for a short while. Dean Koontz really rocks. Really.
Way to wipe out half an audience.
Or is The Watchmaker truly the most intelligent criminal that ever lived.Unfortunately, it felt that after having ridden through all of the twists and turns on this one, I did feel a little let down by the ending.On another subject, this is the first time we meet Kathryn Dance. Is Mr. Deaver trying to out-do himself with each book; adding a bonus twist in each book that does not service the storyline, and over-complicate. I've read many Jeffery Deaver novels which include, of course, Lincoln Rhyme thrillers. I am wondering how Deaver plans on using her expertise in "kinesics" in future stories. One of the best parts of the a Deaver story is the "Gotcha" at the end (Read: The Empty Chair). I am constantly amazed by the level of detail Deaver uses to create his incredibly complex plotlines. His use of existing and emerging forensic science in his stories are entertaining, and informative, in addition to being vehicles for his thrillers.I am concerned though.
I would recommend this as an excellent read. The story line kept the reader involved and as is the quality of the novels by Jeffery Deaver,the reader is presented with many twists and turns to keep your interest. I did enjoy this novel. This was the first one of the Lincoln Rhyme Novels I had the pleasure to read.
It enables you to get to know and appreciate the characters so much more as they grow & develop throughout the books. His writing style changes completely with the "Lincoln Rhyme" books and if you like mystery & suspense, you will LOVE these. Jeffery Deaver is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE AUTHORS. If you've read some of Deaver's earlier books/series, namely, the "The Rune Series" or the "The John Pellam Series", and did not enjoy them, please do not judge ALL of his books by those. This is book #7 in the series. He has so many twists & turns in his books, you never know what to expect next. Although each novel in the "Lincoln Rhyme Series" stands alone, you will probably want to start with the first book in the series, titled "The Bone Collector".
