Summary

New York City is thrown into chaos by the assaults of the Bone Collector, a serial kidnapper and killer who gives the police a chance to save his victims from death by leaving obscure clues. The cops go to Lincoln Rhyme, an ex-NYPD forensics expert left paralysed after an accident on the job. Rhyme reluctantly postpones his ambitions towards suicide and puts together a forensic investigation team, enlisting as his eyes and ears young police officer Amelia Sachs.

Excellent

The storage was well written and produced a variety of suspects throughout. The ending was well thought through and a great read. The audible recording was entertaining and the voice acting easily differentiated the characters, making it easy to follow the story. Definitely recommended.

Compelling

This is a very fast story with lots of twists and the first Jeffery Deaver book I have read . It is well researched and very well written with excellent descriptive passages . I met the author at a literary lunch and he was exceptional . Now about to start on the second book. Thank you Jeffrey .

A must-read book

Any additional comments?

A book you just can't stop listening to, despite having seen the film, the book far surpasses the on-screen renditions.

If you like Steve Cavanagh

Outstanding. I saw the Denzil
Washington / Angelina Jolie film in the 90s, but the bookshelves so much deeper. This is a PROPER page-turner. Like Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn series, you find yourself making excuses to listen just “just another thirty minutes”.
