This author does his research and his books are always full of facinating information outside of the forensics. That means we have been able to read seven in this series without having to wait. My husband and I are great fans of Jeffrey Deaver - and a little happy we were "late" in discovering the books by this talented writer. In this one he takes you to an exploration of clocks and time. His twists and turns are impossible to anticipate. The Cold Moon is well written, full of interesting characters and is well-paced. I highly recommend his books - but if you are new to his Lincoln Rhymes series, start with the Bone Collector and then read them all in order. You won't be able to put them down once you start.
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. But then again this is a fiction novel. Is some of it a little unbelievable. Maybe. 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. Have fun reading.
Just my.02. 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". Really.
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.
Way to wipe out half an audience. If I want your political opinion, I'll ask for it.
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. Dean Koontz really rocks.
Is Mr. I am constantly amazed by the level of detail Deaver uses to create his incredibly complex plotlines. I've read many Jeffery Deaver novels which include, of course, Lincoln Rhyme thrillers. 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. One of the best parts of the a Deaver story is the "Gotcha" at the end (Read: The Empty Chair). 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. 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. I am wondering how Deaver plans on using her expertise in "kinesics" in future stories.
I did enjoy this novel. This was the first one of the Lincoln Rhyme Novels I had the pleasure to 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 would recommend this as an excellent read.
