Description

Their first case, their worst killer . . .

New York City has been thrown into chaos by the assaults of the Bone Collector, a serial kidnapper and killer who gives the police a chance to save his victims from death by leaving obscure clues. Baffled, the cops turn to the one man with a chance of solving them - Lincoln Rhyme.

Left paralysed by a debilitating accident, ex NYPD cop Rhyme has to dig deep into the only world he has left - his astonishing mind - to have any hope of solving the case. With the help of a young police officer, Amelia Sachs, he starts to close in on the killer. But as he edges closer to the truth, the Bone Collector is closing in on Lincoln Rhyme himself.

I genuinely thought that this was a boring, formulaic, paint-by-numbers type crime book by a successful but not very good author. I was wrong!

 

The prose is easy to understand but the plot is convoluted and yet still easy to follow, the characters are well-rounded and, even although I'd seen the film of the same name, the twist in the end came as a complete surprise. The book is so much more than the film and I'm glad that I read it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Whether I'll read the whole series is not known just now but I'd be willing to give them a try.
