Book Reviews of 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.

Love, love, Lincoln Rhyme...it's a quick read and a good one!

Lincoln Rhyme must capture "the Ghost"...a killer in Chinatown..very ruthless. Rhyme's and his protege must find the next victims before the Ghost can silence them, but he seems to be one or two steps ahead of them at every turn. Very "fun" read.

I'm a seasoned suspense/mystery reader, and some of the twists in this book even caught me by surprise. This is a fast-moving page turner with excellent character development. The writing style brings you right into the setting and action. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Great read. Great plot with a twist at the end

Another great Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs book!

Not my favorite JD book but it was still good. Took me awhile to get into it and it had the suspense, etc., of the other Lincoln Rhyme novels.

Another great Lincoln Rhyme book with enough twists and turns to make it interesting.

Very good book. Lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed the Chinese influence too.

This was an excellent book. (#4 in the Lincoln Rhyme Series) This was about The Ghost (snakehead). He was smuggling Chinese immigrants to the US. The Coastguard was coming to board the boat so he blew it up. 2 Families survived. The Ghost went on the mission to find them. Lincoln and Amelia were trying to get there first. This book had a lot of interesting information on the Chinese, Chinatown in NY etc. I enjoyed reading about the friendship that developed between Lincoln and Sonny Li. Lincoln is finally loosening up. This was very well written. I even liked the end!

Great story, with a lot of interesting details about Chinese culture.

Good read.

Deaver's really keeps you on the edge of your seat with this one. The Stone Monkey takes on the social and political problem of smuggling people into the US. The story moves quick and is easy to follow.

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are on the job! They have been recruited by the FBI to capture "the Ghost"-a homicidal immigrant smuggler. Just when they think they've got him, he escapes.

"Packed with shocking plot twists, breakneck pacing, and heartbreakingly real characters..."

Deaver spins another great nailbiter keeping the reader guessing until the climax. Forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme are brought in to capture 'the Ghost' a homicidal illegal immigrant smuggler.

If you like fast-paced suspense and interesting forensic detail (not too technical, just right) and you have not read Jeffrey Deaver, you are missing a great author. His books are hard to put down and this one has great characters, great plot and loads of interesting facts. Highly recommended.

shocking plots,good book.

This is a great book. As always, Deaver keeps you thinking through till the end.

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs' combination of deductive and intuitive investigative skills bring justice to a murderous immigrant smuggler.

Rock solid suspense. Bestseller.

Another book dealing with forensics expert Licoln Rhyme and his protege/girlfriend Amelia Sachs.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did Deaver's other books that feature these characters. It was easy to get lost in the plot and setting (China and Chinatown). However, if you really like Jeffrey Deaver or international suspense, this might be the book for you.

Another great Lincoln Rhyme book. This time he and his girlfriend, Amelia Sachs are trying to find the Ghost. A homicidal, immigrant smuggler. Deavers books have never disappointed me and this one is another winner.
