Book Reviews of The Devil's Teardrop

A fast-paced serial killer mystery that keeps you guessing until the end!!!

As usual for Deaver, he takes you on a breath-taking ride from the very beginning of the book when the killing first starts, right through the end, where there is a big surprise! He even brought back for a brief (telephone) appearance, our old friend, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme. This one keeps you on edge throughout the whole book. Good one!

New Years Eve 1999 an early morning machine gun attack by the Digger an emotionless robot like madman leaves dozens dead in the washington d c subway system in a message to the mayors office a criminal mastermind demands twenty million dollars by midnight or the capital will again be at the mercy of his accomplice But in route to the money drop the devious extortionist is killed in a freak accident The Digger without orders to desist prepares for his midnight massacre.

Nice twists and turns in the plot.

I really like Deaver and this one is no exception. He even throws in my favorite Deaver character Lincoln Rhyme.

I acn't remember when I read a book with so many twists! It truly keeps you guessing - nothing is as it seems, even at the end!

An emothionless robot like madman "the Digger" is demanding millions from the Mayor of Washington DC, the money drop goes badly. Agent Margaret Lukas and Parker Kincaid must find the killer before midnight to avoid a massacre.

Fantastic read! Couldn't put it down...full of twists. Excellent.

I love Deaver I still haven't figured out who dunnit in any of his stories...heck I have given up and just enjoy the ride.

Great fiction about a serial killer named "the Digger".

Typical Deaver. A twisted, fun read with lots of interesting forensic-style "science" based on handwriting characteristics. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have read it several times.

The ending of this well-paced but truly deceptive thriller caught me off guard....Full of good characters and dialogue

REALLY good - classic Deaver twists and turns, AND a cameo appearance by Rhyme! Couldn't put it down!

Jeffery Deaver's books ahve been called a thrill ride between covers. This one is no exception.

Great book!

as always a great read by Deaver!

Another excellent story from a master writer.

Thrills and intrigue as dozens are killed in a Washington subway and the killer is asking for money or many more will die. Very good book

action packed thriller, very Deaverish.

A madman guns down dozens of people in the Washington DC subway on the orders of an extortionist who has demanded twenty million dollars. Without the money, the madman will strike again. However, the extortionist is killed in an accident and the madman, known as The Digger, doesn't know. Therefore, he proceeds with the plans.

Really good, fast-paced novel. I liked this one even better than Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels. Parker Kincaid, a document examiner, is a great character, and the identity of the Digger will keep you guessing until the end.

A very good psychological thriller. I enjoyed this one more than The Bone Collector, which is the only other Deaver book I have read.
