About this ebook
SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.
Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic detective made famous in The Bone Collector is back in a thriller from the masterful Jeffery Deaver. When a sadistic killer leaves clocks at his murder scenes, will time run out for the criminologist and his partner Amelia Sachs?
On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer’s calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims’ last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence—and Rhyme can’t afford to have his trusted partner Amelia Sachs distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself.

It is my first Deaver novel, so I had an open mind and didn't know what to expect. I was, however, disappointed. The turns in the plot were not credible. One of the main characters in the book, detective Rhyme, was presented in a way, which made it not only impossible to relate to, but actually made me strongly dislike the guy. I also did not enjoy the fact that the author appears unable to keep his political and moral beliefs to himself. I don't read fiction for political statements, rather for entertainment. That aside, the whole novel was not written well and not very enjoyable.

This started out a 5 star book, but it appears the author did not reach his minimum number of pages, so he changes the 'plot". If the next book is the same way, it will be the last I read, from this author. Sad

The Cold Moon introduces The Clockmaker, perhaps the most formidable enemy Lincoln Rhyme has ever faced: someone just as intelligent and strategic ad Rhyme himself. This interaction alone is worth the price of admission!
