Summary
The 'master of ticking-bomb suspense' Jeffery Deaver brings us the latest thriller featuring his most beloved protagonists. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are back—on the hunt for a criminal terrorising New York City.
A killer without limits.
He comes into your home at night. He watches you as you sleep. He waits.
A city in turmoil.
He calls himself ‘The Locksmith’. No door can keep him out. No security system can catch him. And now he’s about to kill.
A race against time to stop him.
Nobody in New York is safe. Now it’s up to Lincoln Rhyme to untangle the web of evidence and catch him.
But with Lincoln under investigation himself, and tension in the city at boiling point, time is running out....
Critic reviews
"Gripping and ingenious tale of greed and deception in the American wilderness." (The Times, Thriller of the Month)
"[An] outstanding sequel to 2019’s The Never Game...Deaver balances suspense and plausibility perfectly.... This is a perfect jumping-on point for readers new to one of today’s top contemporary thrillers writers." (Publishers Weekly)

Not up to the usual standard
I have listened to nearly all the Lincoln Rhyme books but I won’t be buying any more with this narrator. His voice is so bland that I kept losing concentration and had to backtrack. This may have been why I found this less absorbing than previous books. Bring back Jeff Harding. He suits these books perfectly. Also, one little gripe. Every time a certain character was mentioned, he was either called ‘Martin Kemp, her fiancé’ or ‘her fiancé, Martin Kemp’. I didn’t need to be told every time who he was and it really grated. Will definitely think twice before spending a credit on another Lincoln Rhyme book.

Exciting read
Once again Deaver delights with this twist and turn story. Always keeps me on the edge of my seat right to the end. Performances we’re good and pitched just right.

Disappointing Narration
Storyline OK but the whole experience was spoilt by the narration. Most of the time it sounded as if someone was just reading a book, the characters all sounded very similar.

Very good
This is my 3rd Jeffrey Deaver book and I enjoyed it as much as the others. The narrator is good but I would have preferred that his tones and voices for the various characters were more distinctive from each other. I sometimes had to figure out who it was that was speaking and it got confusing at times.

Great story BUT....
Deaver always comes up trumps with an exciting story but I struggled with the narration and had to keep rewinding and re listening. Shame.

Who was the cop killed at the end?
Too much going on, didn’t get the ending , maybe was distracted while listening . But over all not bad.

twists and turns
it took me a while to get used to the new narrator. I would have given it a 5 star but I found his speech very fast. I have to say I did get used to it and he did a good job. As usual the twists and turns are amazing. You've got to keep up with it, so try not to leave too many gaps otherwise you'll get confused...
