Dennis Boutsikaris's reading of Deaver's latest Lincoln Rhyme thriller is positively chilling. When the quadriplegic detective's cousin is arrested for murder, it seems to be an open-and-shut case, as plenty of forensic evidence links him to the crime. But Lincoln discovers that the real killer is framing others for his killings by manipulating intimate computer information. A deadly game of cat and mouse pits Lincoln; his partner, Amanda Sachs; and the rest of his NYPD crew against an adversary who is consistently one step ahead of them. Boutsikaris's reading is excellent, but he really ratchets the intensity when performing the passages told from the killer's point of view. His delivery fully embraces the cold, calculating mind of the murderer, imbuing his seemingly dispassionate thoughts with an underlying sense of barely controlled rage and menace. A Simon & Schuster hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 14). (July)
I have enjoyed the Lincoln Rhyme stories ever since I read The Bone Collector and watched the film as well - even purchasing the film.
The story is a typical Jeremy Deaver / Lincoln Rhyme story with all the hints and the evidence lined up for you to sift through - an absorbing read. Technology does rear it's ugly head here and the fact that we are becoming more reliant on what it tells us - so what do we do wrong when the evidence is planted and the technology tells us something which is incorrect?
An interesting and entertaining read.
