I hope to find this much enjoyment as I continue through the series. Anshu Kumar I haven’t completed the first book yet, but going as per the timelines when they were published, I think the below list would be logical.. It has been three years since the accident that resulted in his incapacitated state and the burden of living his life beholden to others has become too much for him. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series, as I can’t wait to see what happens to Lincoln and Amelia next. View 1 comment.

The PremiseLincoln Rhyme is a world leading forensic criminalist — or rather, he was. Rendered a quadriplegic by an accident at work, Rhyme has gradually rejected the world around him and has now only wishes to die. As he is only able to move one finger below his neck, he is trying to talk someone into helping him commit suicide. When old colleagues approach him seeking help with a new and gruesome case, he is drawn back into the tense world of crime solving.

At each crime scene, the killer leaves clues to the next. Can Rhyme solve them in time? And will he still want to die when the case is over? However, his physical flaw is an unusually harsh one and does make this story have a different feel to those with similarly grouchy lead characters.

His disability has allowed him to gradually restrict his interest and involvement with the world to his interaction with one aide, Thom, and his misery is apparent. His condition guarantees a certain level of sympathy, so even when he treats victims with shocking carelessness he never becomes a cruel figure but remains vulnerable. What could the skeleton of the snake possibly mean? Where exactly did that dirt come from? Why the fondness for the name Hanna? Amelia Sachs is enduring her last day of Patrol before transferring into Public Affairs when she is asked to investigate a sighting of a body.

A man has been buried and his hand is stretching out of the earth. As the main female character in a crime novel, Sachs also has to have secrets, flaws and be generally unhappy. Fair enough. I found the deepening relationship the only boring aspect of the novel. Interestingly, her past is one that could come back someday, so I thought Deaver laid the groundwork effectively for something to happen later on in the series.

Reading parts of this book was a little like watching CSI. Personally, I felt that the details were very relevant since the criminal actually knew forensics too and was trying to play some kind of game with the police. Of course, I really enjoy watching CSI precisely because of the focus on evidence, so the similarity would appeal to me.

Although the forensics are the main focus there is sufficient focus on running about trying to save lives, interviewing witnesses and developing motives for the plot to feel well rounded. The killer turns out to have an interesting blueprint and as that is gradually revealed his motives begin to come to light. Neatly tied upWhen I finished reading the book I felt pleasantly satisfied. Everything was resolved in a sufficiently plausible manner and the book felt self-contained.

I liked that there was no pressure to read the next book in that there are no big cliff-hangers forcing you to purchase number two in the series. I would be interested in the next book, but I like not feeling pressurised by a false ending. I liked the twists and turns as the ending approached. I particularly liked the punch line involving the final victims, which tied off a thread that had seemed a little random. I felt the story kept my interest very well because, by the end, I had forgotten a detail that I meant to keep in mind because I was following events so closely.

When that detail returned I liked the way it fitted in with what had gone before. The chapters are organised into sections which are headed up by days and times. The whole action of the story takes place over four days and there is so much happening in terms of the investigation that I did find it hard to find a good stopping point. Some readers have complained about the realism of the novel. I have to admit that it does not sound particularly feasible. However, I thought that more generally the protocols and behaviour of the various officers was convincing and I did not find the rather less realistic elements distracted from my interest in the story.

I found it to be tightly plotted and consistently interesting. The characters are rather stereotypical and their burgeoning relationship a slight distraction from the real story, but I found it interesting following the threads of the case as they unravelled.

The structure of the story trying to keep one step ahead of the killer is not new but is well handled. If you like crime fiction that focuses on forensics and genius detectives then this would suit you. This is the first in the Lincoln Rhyme series of crime novels. It has one of the most deadly killers who commits some truly horrendous murders throughout the book. Anyone reading this series would do well to take the books in strict order if at all possible.

As is usually the case with me,I read them as I find them,and of course started late and have only just read this,the first one!. Rhyme is virtually immobile from a terrible accident and is paralysed from the neck down.

Before the accident he was a brilliant forensic criminalist but now he is strongly considering suicide. Then a case comes along of such fascination,that he becomes interested in spite of himself.

It helps that a beautiful,but deeply flawed police officer called Amelia Sachs is part of the investigation of the murder of a man,buried up to his neck and with his finger literally scraped down to the bone.

The man’s companion has been abducted. This is just the start of a number of awful killings committed by the man they call The Bone Collector. Rhyme and Sacks work together,with Sacks doing the leg-work and Rhyme doing the brain-work. Eventually they evolve into a partnership that really works for both of them. This is a brilliant story and a real page-turner. Can’t wait to read more of Deaver’s work! Mar 06, Ashley B. I enjoyed the protagonists in the story, and how their differing personalities quickly come together.

I hope to find this much enjoyment as I continue through the series. Well, it was certainly better than the movie What’s surprising is just how far-fetched and borderline ridiculous so much of this novel is.

Despite the fact that author Jeffery Deaver obviously did his research down to the slightest detail, very little of the plot comes across as even remotely believable. The last fifty pages made my eyes hurt from rolling them so much.

But Deaver ruins it by somehow managing to make him completely unsympathetic despite his handicap. He also grants him such a vast array of collected knowledge and superhuman powers of deduction that he could probably out-fox Sherlock Holmes. And when you invent a character who can solve crimes better than Sherlock Holmes, that’s when you know you went too far. And if you think that his being a quadriplegic jackass will stop him from getting the girl in the end In this first book in the series, Lincoln Rhyme, a quadraplegic due to a work related accident, is approached by his former colleague, Detective Sellitto to assist with the investigation of a serial killer.

Before his accident Lincoln was an expert on crime scene investigation. Through a police officer Amelia Sachs a feisty redhead Lincoln rediscovers his passion for working a crime scene, while plotting his own suicide to end the tedium of his condition. Gripping, gory and thoroughly intriguin In this first book in the series, Lincoln Rhyme, a quadraplegic due to a work related accident, is approached by his former colleague, Detective Sellitto to assist with the investigation of a serial killer.

Gripping, gory and thoroughly intriguing! I am looking forward to reading more in this series. Here we meet the brilliant, impatient, and rude Criminologist. He can move everything above his shoulders and his left pinkie finger. He has lost interest in everything and is awaiting a doctor that may give him what he’s been praying for – help to kill himself. The doctor is late and a former colleague stops by his brownstone about noon on a Friday with a horrific case.

Rhyme can’t himself. He’s hooked. His bedroom becomes a war room of detectives and forensic equipment. They must catch Unsub before he kills again. The only clues they have are the ones that “the bone collector” leaves. The evidence points to another victim and place without much time to save the innocent soul. Amelia Sachs is his eyes and legs. She walks the grid of each crime scene.

And she really doesn’t want to. She’d rather be anywhere and she doesn’t particularly like the former detective. When she goes to a supervisor about Rhyme and what she’s doing, the Feds come and jerk the case. But the case returns to Rhyme and his team and now it’s a race to stop “the bone collector. The pace of the novel is heart pounding fast for both the reader and characters.

The novel only covers the weekend and into Monday. So I was surprised that the characters were so well developed. And I loved that we got to see “the bone collector’s” POV. Deaver uses italics when we see him and delve into his deteriorating mind. This villain is intelligent and deliciously evil. And I love Lincoln Rhyme the most!

And I thank Deaver for giving us a complex flawed protagonist who just happens to be disabled. View 2 comments. I really enjoyed the movie and was always disappointed that there weren’t further instalments in the series.

For me, Angelina Jolie is Amelia and Denzel Washington is Lincoln Rhyme funny that they’ve both got American president’s names , they are now inextricably linked. I will never be able to think about Rhyme or Sachs without seeing them as the actor’s portrayals of them. I’m loving the extra details I’m getting from the book that weren’t included in the movie due to time constraints. More details about the first two victims who are completely different people in the movie , more background on both Sachs and Rhyme, including Rhyme’s connections in the police force.

In the movie Amelia’s last name is changed from Sachs to Donaghy I never get the reasons behind name changes, they seem so arbitrary and pointless and her arthritis is no longer a contributing factor in her desire to leave Patrol.

In fact if I remember rightly there’s no mention of her wanting to leave Patrol, she just does spontaneously in order to help Rhyme and solve the case. To be continued I can’t remember all of what I wrote before it got eaten, but it went something like this. Now that I’ve finished the book it turns out that the movie is quite different from the book – everyone except Lincoln has had their name changed or their race, or gender , the killer and his motives are different, the victims are all different as are whether or not they survive, what he does to the victims and the clues he leaves are different.

Only Lincoln and the general idea of the story are carried over from the book to the movie. I really enjoyed the frantic pace injected into the ‘evidence examining’ scenes by the constant pressure of getting to the victims before they die. In my head I could see the camera flicking from one character to another as Rhyme fires off questions or instructions regarding some bit of evidence or other.

I think I might enjoy the next book even more than this one, not having any preconceived notions of the plot, except for what Rhyme and Amelia look like. Shelves: good-read. This book is taking me longer to read because I am enjoying looking up criminologist terms I do not know. This helps with the proper pronunciation and function of the word. I saw this movie a long time ago starring Denzel Washington as Lincoln Rhyme and was fascinated with the technology and science.

But, reading about it is slow going. He is a madman living out a fantasy from another century. The rat scene with Morella wa This book is taking me longer to read because I am enjoying looking up criminologist terms I do not know.

The rat scene with Morella was horrible. Amela Sachs has been pulled into the field of forensics. She is getting better at walking the gird crime scene. As for Lincoln Rhyme, for a man who only has use of his mind, one finger, head, and shoulders, he has it going on.

What can I say? A mind is a terrible thing to waste and Lincoln Rhyme is not wasting his. Education Counts. Quotes: Sellitto said delicately, “Borrowing federal evidence is one thing.

Destroying it? I don’t know ’bout that, Lincoln. If there’s a trial I didn’t plan on it. Wait a minute. I don’t do that. View all 3 comments. I can’t believe I didn’t start reading the books from this series earlier. I’m kicking myself for it.

The book is fast paced with quite a few ‘Oh my God’ moments. You follow along in the investigative process, gathering physical evidence from crime scenes, which can be gruesome at times. The author’s descriptions are pretty graphic, but that what’s makes the book for me at least a page turner. An awesome start and I can’t wait to read the rest of the Lincoln Rhyme series.
