Thoughts

Another good Lincoln Rhyme thriller! I really thought that at this point it would be boring, or formulaic - certainly there have been books in the series that have followed similar paths to previous ones. But this one was intriguing, the plot easy enough to follow but fiendish to unravel, and of course it’s always fun when there’s a legitimate nemesis to deal with. I thought it was interesting how much Ron Pulaski’s character was developed in this book, he really might be gearing up to take over from Rhyme when he retires! Very entertaining.

Rating: 3 / 5
