Book Four in the Lincoln Rhyme series.

Investigators Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are recruited to track down a cargo ship carrying illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as the Ghost. But when the capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race to stop the Ghost before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have vanished deep into the world of New York's Chinese community. Over the next forty-eight hours the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families while Rhyme struggles desperately to find them first. Meanwhile, Sachs pursues a very different kind of policework - forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have far reaching consequences for her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme.

Really gripping story and I enjoyed the fast pace at which it moved. Well read with great expression and easy to identify characters. The end was beautifully unraveled in great Deaver fashion! Looking forward to the next book in the series!!

Exciting story

Some difficult understandings due to Chinese dialects.
But many twists and turns that make Deaver books a joy to read

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, firstly I haven't read the book only listened to the audio book so maybe the reader spoiled Jeffery Deaver's work (just kidding), hmm accept one of the biggest issues i have with this audio book is the ridiculous plot line, if this was an interesting book id give a run down of the plot but it isn't, the central plot line is just silly and I could not listen to the audio book after I purchased it.

I listened to "The Bone Collector" and it was really quite good, then I listened to the "Coffin Dancer", it was not so good, plot was starting to get a little bit silly and unrealistic, but not fully unhinged. The reader was still firmly targeting melodrama in his reading of Coffin Dancer the book but it was listenable.

The Stone Monkey is the next step in awful moving on and improving in the area of awful, from the previous two novels, Bone Collector: some melodrama in the language some bullshit in the plot, but good, Coffin Dancer: extra melodrama in the language and large increase in bullshit in the plot, now Monkey Stone, if I could Id get money back i WOULD.

Don't do it , don't buy the paper back and don't buy the hard copy and definitely don't buy the audio-book, hey its just my opinion, I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't go back.

Really...more melodrama...is that really the plot

story great, but got lost with the reader, compared to the other books read by Jeff harding. I found myself having to listen to chapters over.

Story great, but I wasn't a fan of the reader.

Naration was good, the story line started well, some good character development (of new characters), some of the older characters from earlier books (Fred Delray for example) probably didn't need to feature in this novel.

I had to stop listening towards the end as I found one of the characters very offensive and it just ruined the whole experience! I wanted to return the audiobook but apparently I can't because I almost finished the book. That doesn't seem particularly fair to me? I am tempted to try another Jeffrey Deaver novel but will need to read more reviews before committing any credits to it.

Very disappointing as a fan of the earlier series
