Book Reviews of The Coffin Dancer (Lincoln Rhyme)

I think I'm officially addicted to this series now that I've read the first two. I couldn't put this one down and only did when I had to. The author is a wonderful writer for the simple fact that his characters are well-written and the plots are never what you think they will be. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Great Book!

While this book may be a little older - it is still one of the best in the Lincoln Rhyme series. It also is the one where he takes his relationship with his protege, Amelia Sachs, to the next level! Great action and many twists and turns. Deaver really keeps you totally involved until the very end.

I'd never heard of this author but a friend gave me some of his books. It's been a while since I read this but I liked it. I can't recall the specifics.

Another great book in a great series.

If you are going to read this book you better make sure you have nothing important to do for a while. This book was almost impossible for me to put down. I would tell myself just a little longer and then find that another hour had gone by. From the first chapter, that was so shocking, to the ending, this book was a page turner that held my interest throughout.

great read

2nd book of the Lincoln Rhyme series. Great series, really suspenseful and great characters. I can't wait to read the next one!

Lincoln Rhyme does it again - solving a case that is intrigue from the word go! Kept me turning pages and losing sleep.

Lincoln Rhyme, the formost criminalist joins his protege, Amelia Sachs in the hunt for the Coffin Dancer--an ingenious killer who changes his appearance often

Gotta love Lincoln Rhyme novels. I was hooked as soon as I first read The Bone Collector.

Another amazing book, this one dealing with the life of an illusinist. You will learn things you never knew and it will make you look at some of our real illustionists with different eyes.

By Jeffrey Deaver, the author of "The Bone Collector". Deaver is now on my list of "favorite authors". As in the movie with Denzel Washington & Angelina Jolie, Lincoln Rhyme is the paralyzed criminalist & Amelia Sachs is his assistant. Together they unravel delicious mysteries. This time the mystery is "The Coffin Dancer".

So well written, with lots of fun twists. Can't wait to get into the next Deaver book!

Detective Lincoln Rhyme, the foremost ciminalist int he NYBD, joines his beautiful protege, Amelia Sachs, in the hunt for the Coffin Dancer--an ingenious killer who changes his appearance even faster that he adds to his trail of victims.

A Lincoln Rhyme novel

Well,
I bought a couple of books by this author because I heard that he was great. It turns out that he is a good author they are just not my type of book. I hope someone else can enjoy them!

This return engagement for quadriplegic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme is strong on forensic details as Rhyme tracks an elusive assassin known only by the tattoo that gives this fast-paced thriller its title.
Three witnesses to a murder could put a millionaire arms dealer behind bars for good. When one of them, the co-owner of Hudson Air, is blown up in a plane bombing with the Dancer's fingerprints all over it, the FBI takes the other witnesses into protective custody. Only Rhyme can decipher a crime scene, read the residue of a bombing, or identify a handful of dirt well enough to keep up with the killer. Helped by Amelia Sachs, his brilliant and able-bodied assistant, Rhyme traces the Dancer through Manhattan streets, airports, and subways. The psychological tension builds rapidly from page one all the way to the stunning and unexpected denouement. At the same time, Jeffery Deaver slowly develops the against-all-odds love affair between Rhyme and Sachs. Fans of Patricia Cornwell and others in the growing subgenre of forensic thrillers will find a lot to enjoy in Deaver's latest.

Excellent book that keeps you enthralled until the end!

I like the whole Lincoln Rhyme series by this author. A well written book.

Good who dunnit

Classic Jeffery Deaver. Second in the series featuring Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs. You can always count on suspense from Deaver. Fascinating forensics.

This book is 2nd novel featuring Lincolm Rhyme. It is fast past and full of unexpected twists and turns. Very enjoyable Deaver novel. I would
definately recommend it.

Great suspense novel.

I found this book to be very captivating and edge of your seat.

wow!!! one of Deaver's older books, but excellent none the less!! Had me to the end

Great book! keeps you guessing

"Spine-chilling forensic detail with gripping suspense" per the NYTimes and I couldn't agree more.
In this novel, we also find out a lot about the relationship of Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, which continues throughout all the Lincoln Rhyme series.
I always enjoy the fast pace and plot twists of Deaver's novels.

Lincoln Rhyme needs no review book speaks for itself

The NYPD have only one clue to the ingenious killer who changes his appearance faster than he adds to his trail of victims:a tattoo of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in front of a coffin. Detective Lincoln Rhyme,a quadriplegic from a line of duty accident and his beautiful protege Amelia Sachs tracks the murderer thru the subways,parks,and airports of New York City-knowing that they have only forty eight hours until the Coffin Dancer strikes again.

This is a Lincoln Rhyme thriller, which is one of my favorites. The plot leaves you breathless right to the last page.

Deaver is an artist of the genre. You must read him.

This is the 2nd of the Lincoln Rhyme novels by Jeffery Deaver. It is typical Deaver ... fast-paced, sit on the edge of your seat, tricky plot, etc.

Lincoln Rhyme must find an ingenious killer who changes his appearance frequetly and leaves no clues. Very good story with lots of twists and turns.

REALLY excellent thriller!

for those who like forensics.......another Detective Lincoln Rhyme story

Another good Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs novel. This time, they are hunting for "The Coffin Dancer", a killer who can change his appearance like a chameleon. Fast read, not as good as "The Bone Collector", but a solid story.

This book is awesome! I loved every page of it.

This was the book that made me want to read more of Jeffry Deaver's work.
