Search - The Stone Monkey (Lincoln Rhyme, Bk 4)

I've loved all three Lincoln Rhyme books so far, but this 4th installment is by far the best. It's edge of your seat, true, but it is also filled with really real characters that are fully developed (you even know the bad guy's past and it's actually painful to read) and there is a bit more emotion. There are points that are truly heartbreaking, and also there is more humor in Stone Monkey.

Highly recommend not only for Deaver fans, but for all mystery/thriller fans.

Another excellent Lincoln Rhyme novel. Learned a lot about chinese culture.

Great read! Very entertaining and exciting.

This is the fourth "Rhyme" book I have read, and I am solidly hooked! Even though I am expecting a twist, he always manages to throw one in I don't see coming. Awesome! Great insight also into Chinese culture.

Another excellent crime novel by Deaver. These Lincoln Rhyme books could be used as police procedurals in some of his cases and this one , with so little to go on, would be an excellent teaching book. Great book!

Lincoln Rhyme, paralyzed crime scene analyst Extraordinary, is up to his neck in murders.
There is a Snakehead(a human trafficker that smuggles aliens into the country from China) that is not content just to earn the huge dollars from smuggling his customers into the U.S.
Once he collects his fees he then is compelled to murder them all including the crews of the ships he is on.
But no one knows what he looks like or his real name so Law Enforcement round the world has nicknamed the murderer "The Ghost".
It seems this Snakehead is always a step ahead of Lincoln .
The excitement is non stop, the tension mounts. And I found the background information on the Chinese people and their culture here in the U.S. fascinating.
This was a terrific read.
