Book Reviews of The Twelfth Card (Lincoln Rhyme, Bk 6)

Another spectacular story from Jeffrey Deaver, this book has many subplots and will keep you interested and guessing until the end of the story. I love reading a good book while also learning something of historical significance.

I think Lincoln Rhyme is my favorite detective. In this book he really does a great job at helping a high school girl track down the man who wants her dead. It was scary, I couldn't put it down. Deaver did an awesome job with the magic and his descriptions on how it works. Love this book.

This is another of the Lincoln Rhyme series where he and his protege, Amelia Sachs helps a Harlem girl dig into the past if one of her ancestors. A well fashioned thriller.

Deaver is the master.

Reading and understanding the "AAVE" was a challenge at times, but I enjoyed the book.

Excellent read!

Great story in same vein as his other Lincoln Rhyme novels. Hope these never end!

The twists and turns in this book will keep you keep guessing.

This suspensful package is another fine entry in the Lincoln Rhymes series, but the ending drags on forever as Deaver reveals layer after layer of deception and misdirection.

Lincoln Rhyme novel with Harlem setting.

Another good one by Deaver.

Unlocking a cold case with explosive implications for the future of civil rights, forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme and his protegee, Amelia Sachs, must outguess a killer who has targeted a high school girl from Harlem who is diggin into the past of one of her ancestors, a former slave. What buried secrets from 140 years ago could have an assassin out for innocent blood? And what chilling message ishidden in his calling card, the hanged man of the tarot deck? Rhyme must anticipate the next strike or become history-in the bestseller that proves "there is no thriller writer today like Jeffery Deaver".

Reading Deaver's books, one realizes what a talent he has for creating such intelligent plots and making his stories quite believable. This story never loses steam as it runs headlong down the tracks.

If you care for anyone who has a chronic disease of any sort, then this book will speak to you in so many other ways than just a simple mystery story.
Deaver writes a very compelling story, and illuminates the struggle and hope of a detective trying to choose life over physical battles with himself.

A very interesting Lincoln Rhyme story. Well-written, and fun to read.

A great read. A surprise with every page turn.

Another good Lincoln Rhyme's installment. Keeps you guessing throughout.

Enjoyed this book. As usual Deaver keeps you guessing. A Lincoln Rhyme novel.

Good book. Keeps you reading.

Exceptional

This one is one of his better ones. A good read, with a little more depth.

great story and worth the read, but its no surprise here since it another lincoln rhyme story.

Jeffery Deaver are always a masterpiece of modren crimology. I enjoy all the series of Lincoln Ryme & I love the strong female police Amelia Sachs she really gets to do some good work in this book.
The book is dedicated to Christopher Reeve.

Great book!

I probably shouldn't even be writing a review on this. I'm in love with Lincolln Rhyme. I would follow him anywhere, sharp remarks and all.

Jeffery Deaver has never, ever disappointed me in a book he's written. Solid, solid writing. I love him too.

Very good storyline - makes you root for the kid all the way through! Excellent reading!

It takes Linclin Rhyme and his staff along with many experst that contact to solve this 140 year old case with its modern ties. Very Good!

Deavers continues his tradition of excellence in the latest Lincoln Rhyme novel. Just when you think you have it all figured out - along comes another "180". (If you read the book, you'll understand the literary significance of the "180".) His grasp of the areas he writes about and his ability to bring them to life are really astounding.

"A master of tickig bomb suspense". Author autograph on flyleaf.

This is a great book...very interesting...UNLOCKING A COLD CASE DEALING WITH CIVIL RIGHTS, FORENSICS EXPERT LINCOLN RHYME and his protegee, Amelia Sachs, must outguess a killer who has targeted a high school girl from Harlem who is digging into the past of one of her ancestors, a former slave. What could a hundred year old story have to do with this 21st century intrigue...read on. *
*this book has some curling on cover and pages. If this is a problem for you, don't order this one. It is still in very readable condition.

Plot is well set up as usual with Jeffery Deaver

super good read keep me comming back for more.

I'm not much of a mystery reader, but since Jeff Deaver is a highly acclaimed mystery write, I thought I'd try it. I especially enjoy books that go back to past generations of a family. He's a good writer, but I still prefer non-fiction.

Very suspenseful, lots of twists and turns - enjoyable book.

The Lincoln Rhyme novels are the best.

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs must outguess a killer who has targeted a high school girl from Harlem who is digging into the past of one of her ancesters, a former slave. Very intersting reading and a real page turner.

IF YOU ARE A LINCOLN RHYMES FAN THIS IS A GOOD ONE

This was a good read. The same roller coaster ride you expect from Jeffery Deaver.

Another book from the Lincoln Rhyme collection, this one follows the story of a 16 year old girl in Harlem investigating the story of her ancestor's "crime" 140 years ago. Rhyme and Sachs are on the case again, with a few interesting twists.

Deaver always tells a good story and this one has a twist. good detective work.

A very good book by Jeffery Deaver. I like the Lincoln Rhyme series.

A Lincoln Rhyme novel. A young high school girl has uncovered some information about an ancestor from the Revolutionary War era, which could be financially detrimental to company. Rhyme has to try to catch a hired assasin and figure out why the young lady is targeted.
