  Lincoln Rhyme never stops suprising us

  In this book, we discover several traits of Lincoln Rhyme's character. Deaver goes in much deeper this time and reveals details that will get you closer to the story itself but also to the main characters.

  The watchmaker, a perp that Rhyme failed to catch a few years earlier, reappears and interconnects with the main plot and Kathryne Dance, another extremely interesting character Deaver created.

  This isn't one of Jeffrey Deaver's best. The plot was a bit too complicated and esoteric - felt more like a physics revision to me.

  This isn't one of Jeffrey Deaver's best. The plot was a bit too complicated and esoteric - felt more like a physics revision to me. That made it difficult to keep track of the story or for that matter, to want to keep track of the storyline. Also it was a bit unrealistic. There were a few grammatical errors which were overlooked - not a big thing, but especially glaring for an author in his league!

  Positively not his best. Three quarters of it rather too hard, filled with technicalities, with little room for characters and their psychology. Harder than any former Rhyme's story. The best Deaver shows up in the last 100 pages, that are really worth reading. The most interesting theme is the dependance of modern western civilization on electricity and technology. Not so new, but well handled.
