The Bone Collector centers its story on Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs and their mission to capture The Bone Collector, as serial killer. Rhyme is an ex-CSI who was paralyzed during an accident at a crime scene and Sachs is an everyday patrol cop, handpicked by Rhyme.

It's clear that fans of the T.V. show "CSI" will love this book. It gets into the technical bits of CSI procedures and equipment. I have no doubt that if you like "CSI" you will enjoy this book.

Another thing that is interesting about the book is that has a lot of cool New York history woven into the story. I found that very interesting and it made for a unique reading experience.

However, this is not just a good book because it's like "CSI" and has some cook historical stuff in it, no; it has other things going on as well. First, the quality and style of Deaver's writing is great and easy reading. His pacing is very good and the plot is outstanding. The Bone Collector also has some of the most believable and compelling characters of any novel I've read.

This is the first book in a long time that I gave 5 stars, in my opinion The Bone Collector is a can't miss read.
