I remember reading this book before but I don’t remember some of this being the same. Updated ? Anyway, I enjoy the exploits and thoughts of Lincoln Rhyme and he as a character that Deaver wanted to make into a Sherlock Holmes type. Like Sherlock he catalogued and studied everything about his city. He learned the history, its ppl, its soil, the buildings; everything. And of course he is a temperamental character. The personality quirks, the deep thoughts and often the obsession he has with attaining an assisted death is hard to take. Lincoln feels there is simply nothing left for him since becoming a quad, and though maudlin, and if you ask me completely wrong — it makes him who he is. And this courtesy of the Bone Collector.

But Lincoln has plenty to offer the world. He’s got guts too! He is fierce in his intellect and his abilities.
I have always pictured Lincoln as a dark skinned black American but the book mentions his skin in a few places being pale ivory and I thought it mentioned his eyes and hair being different so that he couldn’t be how I imagined for years now. Well tough! That’s stuck in my head and I have seen bits of the new show and I am happy that the guy that played Hank from Grimm is playing him.
The others keep shifting in my head a bit, except he and Sellitto.
On to the next book... recommended !
In here Amelia isn’t such a “ oh Lincoln Rhyme the Great!” And sasses back at him. There are interesting characters that I am sure will only continue to develop!

Muy bueno!!! La estructura es impecable, página tras página sin respiro. Las escenas de los crímenes muy bien detalladlas, y bastante duras, por momentos he cerrado el libro... para tomar aire. Ánimo!!! Vale la pena.

Bring book 2 quickly

Wow, why have I waited so long to read any books by Jeffery Deaver? Especially Lincoln Rhyme. These are up there with the best. Gripped from 1st page. Can't wait to read book 2.

Great book! I would have finished it last night but the battery on my kindle died. Lincoln and Amelia are a good team.
