Story
When an improvised explosive device is found outside a hospital, the understaffed Middleton PD knows it’s up against a pro. No one takes credit for the sophisticated device—all that Detective Jake Sloan has to go on is a poem. The cryptic rhyme surfaced shortly after the bomb scare. But ex-soldier and football player Sloan has never been much of a poetry buff. When a second verse turns up, containing a message in code, he solicits the help of English professor Ciara Hawkins.

Story
The only leads in a broad-daylight kidnapping are the account of an eight-year-old girl, some nearly invisible trace evidence and the calling card: a miniature noose left lying on the street. A crime scene this puzzling demands forensic expertise of the highest order. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are called in to investigate. Then the case takes a stranger turn: a recording surfaces of the victim being slowly hanged, his desperate gasps the backdrop to an eerie piece of music.

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.

Poor narration spoils the story
Once again the narrator nearly ruins this book. He reads in a series of jerky bursts rather than a proper flow and his rather lbreathy voice is not suited for this type of book. It became intensely annoying g after a while and I have abandoned listening for now at least.
The story is standard Deaver well researched though a bit far fetched at times and it is somewhat predictable though I suppose it must be difficult to keep being original after so many successful books. I shall continue the book on my kindle so I don’t have to hear the useless narrator.

A real page turner!
I loved this story, it introduced a new member of the team which will make great future storylines.
Jeffery Deaver is one of my favourite authors, I met him in Birmingham (U.K.) at one of his signings and he was lovely.
I thoroughly recommend this book, and feel that it is as good as his earlier stories. I’m sorry it has finished and look forward to the next!
