Deaver has still got it!
All of Jeffrey Deavers books are thoroughly enjoyable and this one is no exception. Typically the plot twists and turns quickly. Although I have read most of his books and am used to his style he does still catch me out. Deavers attention to detail is remarkable, whether it is accurate or not isn't the point, the point is he is convincing. This book focuses on 'data mining' a company which collects and sells detailed information on the public for marketing and sales opportunities. Deaver doesnt judge just simply presents the argument for and against; police catching criminals vs invasion of privacy. But what makes this book so good is the interesting and enduring characters, especially the leading two Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. Their relationship has developed and with each book we learn a little bit more about them. Enjoy.

Good Techno- thriller from Deaver
Lincoln Ryme is almost back to early form from Deaver. This is an intriguing techno- thriller. An unsub has access to ultimate information on anyone, and uses this to rape and kill, whilst at the same time planting evidence to convincinly frame some unwitting patsy of his crime. Lincoln and Amelia quickly home in on a data mining company where most executives are under the spot-light. This gives a decent game of cat and mouse with Lincoln as the master of evidence Vs the man with ultimate knowledge of data. Recommended.

Deaver does it again
I've been reading Jeffrey Deaver for some time, and his Lincoln Rhyme character is one of my favourites. This book does not disappoint, and even though references are made to other novels featuring this character, if you have not read them, this story is just as good...
I have to say, that at one point in this book I thought he'd lost his touch, and I knew what (or more acurately who) we were looking for.. but in true Deaver style, he twisted it again!! What a delight!! And for those who have never read Deaver before.. although these characters have been around for a few novels.. this is a good starter!! No prior knowledge required!
Can't wait for his next one!
