Serial killer mystery. The back cover talks about "labyrinthine plots", which is true. The book itself is well-written and of page-turner quality.

I highly recommend reading this book! The characters are well developed and the plot moves along at a nice steady pace. The book has many unexpected twists and turns. The villain "The Watchmaker" doesn't realize what he is up against with criminologist Lincoln Rhyme.

I really like all of the Lincoln Rhyme books, but this one is exceptionally good. The mystery was all but solved 3/4 through the book and I thought, 'now what're they gonna do?'. But the plot only thickened and got even more intense. Highly recommend this one!

In this fascinating serial killer story, the killer leaves a calling-card, a moon-faced clock. This is one of many novels by Deaver which feature Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. Although it is a long book, over 600 pages, it is very readable. You won't put it down for long!

One of Deaver's very best. This might have been my favorite of all the Lincoln Rhyme novels. Just when I thought there could be no more plot twists, Deaver pulled out more clever surprises. The basic story is that Rhyme et al. are tracking down a serial killer who seems to be leaving no trace evidence, and who seems to have no pattern to his choice of victims. I can't say much else without giving something away, but this is a must-read for any Deaver fan.

A Lincoln Rhyme novel. Is Sachs leaving Rhyme's team? Amid investigating a possible serial killer and a corrupt police group, this question lingers. Sachs has had trouble dealing with some issues and hs been given an offer from a private company. As she helps Rhyme on the serial killer case and runs a case on her own, she is contemplating leaving the force. This novel has many twists and surprises, then leaves a question at the end.

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs have only hours to stop the brilliant, icy-cold serial killer known as the Watchmaker, whose obsession with time drives him to plan his carnage with the precision of a fine timepiece. Available in a Premium Edition and includes an excerpt from Deavers newest hardcover, "The Sleeping Doll."
This is a Lincoln Rhyme fine book and good reading
NY TIMES BESTSELLER - On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer's calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims' last moments.
This was an excellent travel book -- I travel frequently, so I highly recommend if in airports and in hotels, this is definitely one to pick up and read.
Good read; many surprises.
