This is an outstanding, (but trigger laden), dark detective crime thriller, from the highly recommended (by my friends), Jeffery Deaver. A quadriplegic, former near genius forensic criminal-ist Lincoln Rhyme is considering suicide; beat cop Amelia Sachs, daughter of a well liked and well known lifelong beat cop is considering jacking in her 'uniform' role and moving to police communications; being at the wrong place at the right time and internal police politics brings these two together to inve...

TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR SUICIDAL REFERENCES IN THIS BOOK AND THROUGHOUT MY REVIEW.This is the first instalment in the Lincoln Rhyme series.Lincoln Rhymes was once a genius in the field of criminology, often finding tiny clues that others have overlooked and seeing each crime scene from his own, unique perspective. Now he wants to die. It has been three years since the accident that resulted in his incapacitated state and the burden of living his life beholden to others has become too much for him. ...

uma obra-prima da literatura policial.

conte comigo para tudo, amelia sachs.

DISGUSTING, YET RIVETING!The Bone Collector is a police procedural/thriller about a sick and twisted serial killer and the criminologist who brings him down.There are over 2,500 reviews and over 150,000 ratings of this book on Goodreads, so mine doesn’t really matter at this point, but I will post one anyway!This is a complex, intricately plotted sick and twisted tale with intelligent MC’s and a sick and twisted killer. I have read some later books in the series, so it was interesting to read t...

I can't believe I haven't read anything by this author before - was I in a fugue? I read this as part of - The Lincoln Rhyme Collection books 1 - 4. Because I seen the movie first - a myriad of times - I couldn't help but visualise Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie in their respective roles. Bad idea. In the book, Rhyme is Caucasian and Amelia Sachs' is a fiery redhead. So that took some getting used to. There's a killer on the loose - and ex IRD (Investigation and Resource Division) head, Li...

I think I found a new favorite series. Rhymes mind is crazy brilliant. And I love the dynamics between him and Sachs. They make a great team, they're ingenious together.

Awesome start to a new crime detective series for me!Lots of plot twists and I really loved the characters of Lincoln Rhyme, Amelia Sachs and Thom. I definitely plan on continuing with the books.The forensics was excellent and very detailed in this book along with the clues to catch "The Bone Collector". The action was gripping and the suspense of the book was great.I loved the whole cat and mouse chase of this book to get to the next victim. The ending was epic with who the killer was and the b...

Fantastic series! an engrossing,entertaining,fast-paced,plot-twister of a series..Lincoln Rhyme is just stunning in this mystery,with all his brain power than he has to rely on..action-pact (paperback!)

This is my all time favorite book. When I was in high school I hated to read. The only books I would read were the cheesy movie knock off books. I read Mission: Impossible, Batman and Robin, and The Saint. My mom had said this was going to be a movie and the movie paperback edition had just come out. I read this book in record time for me and was captivated. No book had ever held my attention, or kept me up at night with a flash light because I had to find out what happened next. Jeffery Deaver ...

It's a page-turner, and to Deaver's credit, the extensive scenes about collecting and analyzing crime scene trace evidence rarely get boring. Unfortunately, it's also pretty far-fetched. I'm willing to accept the elaborate murder methods, the exacting evidence collection, and the rapid clue-solving because they're the point of the novel. I accept that Lincoln Rhyme is a superhuman genius up against a larger-than-life serial killer because that's what makes this worth reading. I can ALMOST accept...
