About this listen

Master of suspense Jeffery Deaver returns with the latest gripping thriller featuring paraplegic forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme.

Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a killer. She's chasing him through a department store in Brooklyn when suddenly the escalator malfunctions. The stairs give way, and several people are trapped, with one man horribly mangled by the gears. Sachs is forced to let her quarry escape as she jumps in to try to help save the victims.

But was this a random freak accident? Is the killer's presence in the store just before the disaster a simple coincidence, or is there a deeper connection? And how will they catch the killer - now that Lincoln Rhyme has retired?

Twists and Turns

Four exciting investigations in one, told with authentic, varied narration. A great read!

I THINK This is an Audiobook.....

I love the Lincoln Rhyme novels, and this one is no exception! The twists along the way are great.

What annoys me is that I purchased an audiobook, not a dramatisation. A few novels back, the production team decided to add a sound effect for dialogue over a phone. This was bearable because it was the same narrator. This time, though, they've added another narrator for the case summaries. If it's sold as an unabridged audiobook, surely it should be just that?

Time for Rhyme to retire?

Enjoyable thriller & good to have some of the old regulars back, albeit only at the end. Starting to become a little formulaic. Deaver is a good writer, & I enjoyed the Kathryn Dance series & his stand alone novels but am starting to wonder if he has taken this series as far as it can go?

Enjoyed but almost gave up

Good story, great characters but the guy narrating the book... I almost gave up after the first 2 or 3 hours. I'll be avoiding him in the future.
Over all another great Deaver!
