Book Description

20 Jun 2013 Lincoln Rhyme Series
The tenth novel in the critically acclaimed Lincoln Rhyme series, from Number One bestselling author Jeffery Deaver.



They are calling it the 'million-dollar bullet': a sniper shot from a near-impossible distance.



But there is no crime scene investigation, no evidence, and no co-operation from the local Bahamian police.



Ambitious New York district attorney Nance Laurel won't let it go. This murder has all the hallmarks of a contract killing, and she has evidence that the order came from the highest levels of the US government.



Putting her career on the line, she calls in independent investigators: Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. No strangers to controversy, their reputation for seeing what others miss is unparalleled, and she knows they will risk everything - even their lives - to seek the truth . . .

Product Description

Review

THE KILL ROOM is full of his trademark twists, breathless suspense and ironic humour. It is a thriller of 'bits, scraps, observations (and) 180 degree changes in direction' which never cheats the reader, so that the only response can be sighs of satisfaction and admiration. (Evening Standard)

Without doubt my favourite US crime writer (BBC Radio 2 Arts Show - Alex Heminsley)

If you want the best crime, try Jeff Deaver (BBC Radio 2 Arts Show - Claudia Winkleman)

Deaver might well be expected to rest on his laurels at this point in his career, but his 30th novel is refreshingly ambitious, as his labyrinthine twists lead the reader ever further into a fog of ambiguity about misdirected patriotism, drone warfare, whistle-blowing and free speech (The Irish Times)

There's no danger of this 10th Lincoln Rhyme outing collecting anything but enthusiastic praise . . . This is Deaver back on his most comfortable territory and the battle with a ruthless killer is delivered with the accumulating menace that has long been Deaver's trademark. Rhyme and Amelisa remain one of the most distinctive duos in crime fiction and Deaver is somehow able to come up with something fresh and unusual for them, even though familiar elements are utilised. What the author is particularly good at is the tense set-piece, as in the police siege at the end of THE KILL ROOM, delivered with panache. As ever he plays fair with the reader. We're given all the relevant information but are nevertheless still jolted by the successive revelations. (Daily Express)

This is Deaver at his very best and not to be missed by any thriller fan. (Publishers Weekly)

An exciting and thoughtful examination of how far government can go . . . Deaver doesn't disappoint. Against a grave and complex legal backstory, he unwinds an elaborate narrative with believable, intriguing characters and fascinating CSI-like investigative aplomb . . . compelling and provocative (Shelf Awareness)

Expert pacing and strong characterisation. As with all the best series novels, you can drop in at any point and feel at home. (Guardian Review)

The writing is fast and flavoursome, and strong enough to dive straight back into after along, boozy lunch. (Saga)

Deaver's undoubted skill is in creating a story that is as gripping as it is entirely believable - the esoteric details that he uses to create his killers and the world they inhabit are mesmerising. (Irish News)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not up to standard! 21 Aug 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
I normally love Jeffrey Deavers books!! I think I have them all and have loved every one apart from this one. I almost packed it in half way through as it was so boring but forced myself to finish it in case it got better. It didn't. Very disappointing,frustrating and hard to get into. I LOVE Lincoln Rhyme so I will buy his next one in the hope Jeffrey gets back on top form !!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing 5 Aug 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I usually enjoy all of Jeffrey Deaver's books, but I found this to be soooo disappointing. Remember The bone collector with all twists & turns - well this one was so predictable! Nothing out of the ordinary at alll. It felt forced & heavy. Once again so disappointed

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Lincoln Rhyme Novel. 17 Aug 2013
By ACB (swansea) TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Lincoln Rhyme continues to fight and progress from his wheelchair bound quadriplegia in the same way he attacks his cases. Aided by his loving Amelia Sachs he is on an investigation into a professional assassination of an outspoken critic of US foreign policy, Robert Moreno, in Bahamas. Assistant New York District Attorney enlists Lincoln Rhyme's expertise in fact-finding with an agenda to enhance their personal profile and ambitions whilst implicating a higher US government official in the conspiracy to add to the confrontations that follow.

Jeffrey Deaver delivers the narrative that follows in a pacey and twisting style. Rhyme and Amelia Sachs piece together the minutiae of evidence in their characteristic obsessional manner. The assassin is ruthless and a step or two ahead of their pursuers, thinking nothing of torturing and murdering potential witnesses and informants of the crime.

The chase for the perpetrator and the people giving the orders and back-up are intriguing if at times implausible. The plot overall is somewhat familiar but still an enjoyable read if not up to Deaver's very best. Well worth reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but not as good as usual 26 Jun 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
This was a good read, but the killer and his agenda didn't really tickle my pickle. I much prefer the likes of the Watchmaker and Malerik. Still, I'm glad I bought the book and recommend it to all of Mr. Deaver's devout followers.
