.The Empty Chair (Lincoln Rhyme Novels)

by: Jeffery Deaver

April 03, 2001
"The Empty Chair," the title of Jeffery Deaver's third Lincoln Rhyme novel, pretty much says everything in the title. From each chapter of the book, it contains scenes to contain no suspense and derisive twists.

In chapter three of the series, Deaver brings back detective Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, his two most well liked heroes from the previous novels ("The Bone Collector" and "The Coffin Dancer"). Recently commuting from his townhouse in New York, Rhyme now heads over North Carolina to undergo some high risk spinal cord surgery. Just when he and Amelia are about to settle in, the local authorities come in and acquire Rhyme to help them solve a case involving a murder, along with the disappearance of two teenage girls. The kidnapper ... Read More:

.The Cold Moon: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel

by: Jeffery Deaver

June 26, 2006
I have been a huge fan of Deaver's books since The Bone Collector. However, despite repeated efforts to get into The Cold Moon, I had to give up on it after only a third of the way through. For as long as I was able to stay with The Cold Moon, I found, atypical of Deaver's other Lincoln Rhyme books, the bad guys to be one-dimensional and uninteresting, the plot to be slow-moving and filled with excessive detail about the "science" involved in the investigation, there was too little action and the action that did occur was somewhat unbelievable and convoluted, and that Deaver provided nothing new in terms of developing the relationship between Lincoln Rhyme and Amanda Sachs. Perhaps if I had the patience to continue reading The Cold Moon my opinion would ... Read More:

.The Sleeping Doll: A Novel (Kathryn Dance Novels)

by: Jeffery Deaver

May 20, 2008
Full of twist, turns and suprises. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time, though a bit too wordy, otherwise an excellent book. I thought Katherine and Michael were great lead characters. The tension between the two -- romance but can't because he's married -- made the book much more interesting. I can't wait for the second Katherine Dance book.

.The Coffin Dancer (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)

by: Jeffery Deaver

March 01, 1999
The Coffin Dancer by Jeffery Deaver is another Lincoln Rhyme mystery with the same gang of regulars getting together to catch a notorious killer for hire, who is actually a serial killer who has parlayed his mental proclivities into his profession. Rhyme's cohorts add color and his assistant Amelia Sachs adds spice. The killer adds a whole new level to deception. Getting the job done is all that matters and targeting airplanes carrying vital organ transplants or planting bombs that gut buildings are simply means to meeting his end. The story has a lot of suspense but woven throughout are the little pieces of relationship histories that add dimension to the characters and the story itself. This is one of those books that's hard to put down, every time you think ... Read More:

.The Bone Collector (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)

by: Jeffery Deaver

March 02, 2004
The moment I got into "The Bone Collector" was the same time that I began to fall in love with one of the most admirable ficton characters of all time. Scene after scene, I was constantly attracted to the bond between Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs.

In Jeffery Deaver's bestselling series debut, enter Lincoln Rhyme, a former NYPD detective with an alluring charm and a vehement expertise in criminology. Having to deal with the constant bedridden seizures, he is on a hair's breadth of becoming a "vegetable." Such a prospect lingering on his mind convinces him that committing suicide is the right way to go.

Rhyme's life is forever changed when he meets Amelia Sachs, a rookie street cop with no forensic background. Together, they come to solve the case of ... Read More:

.The Twelfth Card (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)

by: Jeffery Deaver

April 18, 2006
Buyer beware of the Publishers Weekly and AudioFile reviews on this webpage. If Dennis Boutsikaris is an "accomplished" actor and narrator, then George W. Bush is an "accomplished" orator and Paris Hilton is an "accomplished" actress. Boutsikaris's performance is not "glib" either, as they claim. His attempts at rendering street language of African-Americans sounds like a black comedian's parody of a clueless white guy trying to sound cool in that way. His normal English narration is also awful. Case in point: throughout the book he mispronounces the word "garrotte" as though it were the word "garret." This came as no surprise to me, I regret to say, as I previously had the misfortune of listening to Boutsikaris narrate another audiobook, The Traitor (see my review), throughout ... Read More:

.A Maiden's Grave

by: Jeffery Deaver

September 05, 2001
My mom loaned me this book (she reads all of his books) and I loved it! It was so intriguing and suspenseful. I loved the characters and even the characters flaws that caused them to want to be `top dog' in the rescue/investigation. Immediately after I read it I was ready to read it again, but my mom wanted it back. LOL

.The Vanished Man (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)

by: Jeffery Deaver

June 29, 2004
In the Vanished Man, a killer is using every trick in the magicians manual, to murder innocent victims, and to lead the police in one direction then another. Has Lincoln Rhyme meet his match?

At first, I found this book an enjoyable read. However, I felt, there were too many twists and turns, even by this author's standards. Some of the events and 'misdirections' (of which there is many!!) used by the killer seemed highly improbable to me, and had me thinking they were too far fetched, to be credible.

I felt this undermined the storyline, and as the book progressed, I found myself becoming less and less interested in what the final outcome would be. Not a terrible book, but, certainly not the best, from this author.
