This story really pulls you along with an excellent twist at the end I've not seen the film. Wish I'd read this sooner, thoroughly enjoyable.
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. Not however for the faint-hearted. I can't believe I haven't discovered this author before now. This book is great and I'm not surprised there's a movie.
I've probably got to see that soon. The book is practically written to be made into a movie! I was hooked from the beginning and totally absorbed by the time things were coming together to solve the crime. I'm definitely continuing on with this series. Amelia Sacs is his girlfriend and works as his hands and eyes on the scenes of crimes.
In this first book of the series, Rhyme is filled with his own sense of uselessness because of the limitations of his body and he wants to end it all for himself. That is until he is asked to solve a very important crime where a man is found buried alive and clues are found about the next victim.
As he is pulled into this investigation, it changes his whole attitude about his own death and he begins to use his mind in extraordinary ways. The technology that Rhyme is able to use is amazing and was an education for me. In this book the introduction to the characters that will continue to be developed in future Deavers novels will have you wanting to read more.
I am a strong Jeffrey Deavers fan and encourage all mystery and thriller readers to read a Deavers book today and this is the one of the best for starting the series since it is not only the first, but tremendously exciting. I was tempted to give up when I hit this piece of description of the female cop, Amelia Sachs, on page Her Julia Roberts lips grew taut. Her incredible beauty is described ad nauseum in the novel--we're told at one point she has "iridescent blue eyes. She's partnered with Lincoln Rhymes, a quadriplegic who was a top criminologist in the New York Police Department before his accident, to be his eyes and ears, a situation that makes me think of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin.
He's the brain, she's the brawn. The forensic details were fascinatingly presented; because she has to be Rhymes eyes and she's new to crime scene work, it allows scenes to be described and have Rhymes explain so that we learn forensics along with her.
As a New York City native and resident, I also loved the bits of city history and geography prominently featured in the mystery. Several aspects of this novel about a series of kidnappings seemed melodramatic, gruesome, and far fetched. And the resolution features a ludicrous coincidence. But the chemistry between Rhymes and Sachs ultimately redeemed the book for me, and I might someday read more in the series.
I watched this movie years ago and didn't realize at the time that it was based on a character in a long-running book series. I finally got around to listening to the book and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Granted, a quadriplegic in Rhyme's condition makes for an unusual protagonist, but the formula works well here in addition to providing a bit of education on what life is like for people who are in such a condition.
I look forward to the other books in this series. Really great concept, not that greatly executed. I'm sick of reading books about a nerdy guy and a sexy lady going and solving a mystery and then although it didn't happen in this book , hooking up. Overall, this book was highly unoriginal. I read this book after my husband raved about it. I found it to be well written, interesting and not a complete "spoon-feed".
As with many mysteries, the end left me a little dissatisfied, but it was worth the read to get there. I will definitely be reading more of Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels. I enjoyed this book. It was the first of Deaver's that I have read.
I really liked the details on the evidence, and how they concluded what they did. I could have done without the grotesque crime scenes and descriptions of the bodies in this book. I found myself more enjoying the backstory and life of Lincoln Rhyme along with his relationship with Amelia. A good read. I think I'll check out another one of his works in the near future too. When I first picked up this book and started reading it I thought I had started somewhere in the middle of the Lincoln Rhyme series.
Wait, what? The main character is a quadriplegic forensic analyst. What did I miss? To my delight, this was the first book in the series and I love that Jeffrey Deaver dropped me into the middle of the action without holding my hand and walking me through the unknown. Now the story, Lincoln Rhyme is a well known and respected NYC forensic scientist who has lost all feeling below the neck. Troubled by his limitations, he contemplates ending his own life until the "bone collector" case re-engages his brilliant mind.
Rhyme works the crime scene through his newly found protege, Amelia Sachs, who is a beautiful up and coming police officer with balls of steel and a very limited forensic science background. Together the duo unravel the mystery that is "The Bone Collector". This a suspenseful, exciting, page turner, sure to delight those that love a good cop mystery.
I really enjoyed the film of this book, but the book is so much better. Lincoln and Amelia are interesting and complex characters and Deaver expertly keeps the tension flowing through the novel. The final twist at the end is unexpected and brilliant sets up the investigation for the next instalment of the series - I hope. This is my first book from this author and it was a page turner; what an amazing story. The main character Lincoln Rhyme "walks" his assistant through her first crime scene and the reader is there by her side as she struggles through every step.
Be sure to put elastic bands around the balls of your shoes so you can distinguish your footprints from everyone elses. I really enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to read another in the series. This is the first book I've read in this series, which has been highly recommended to me. I enjoyed it, though Deaver makes Rhyme exceedingly hard to like. In fact, I'm still on the fence about him, but since I liked Amelia I'll continue on with the series.
I did like how the clues were figured out piece by piece I have to say that I was really surprised by this book, in more ways than one. First of all, it was far better than I had figured. The plot was superbly written, the pacing was perfect - it didn't feel rushed nor did it lag in places, and the characters we were supposed to root for were believable and endearing. The other thing that surprised me was the ending. Rarely do I read a 'mystery' that ends with an 'ohhhhh, so that's who it was.
I wouldn't necessarily use the word shocked, but I will say that I was far from disappointed in the ending. Deaver has masterfully crafted a magical blend of page-turning action with a smartly written plot. Because the story focuses on a great deal of forensic science, there were probably aspects of the book that were a tad dated it was first published in , but to a non-criminalist they don't really stick out. Most books that I'd qualify as thrillers generally go the way of something to read for fun - not much on substance, but high on entertainment.
The Bone Collector had huge helpings of both. The first in this series. Grabs you by the collar on the first few pages. Starts with the locating of the first body and does not slow down from there. The quadraplegic Lincoln and the lady cop meet up for the first time in this book and the chemistry is already there as a investigating duo and on a personal level. But, by far the pace of this mystery and the attention to detail on forensic evidence pulled me in and made me a believer.
Readers will be quickly buying the next book! A well-written, suspenseful novel which only reveals the perpetrator in the last few pages, although it stretches credibility a little that he has gone undetected for so long!
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.
Rhyme will need all his reason--and his considerable stock of high-tech tools--about him to solve this latest brain-twister: a serial killer with method to his madness. In tried and true thriller fashion, the killer's crimes are described in lurid detail, as is the astounding technological equipment with which Rhyme examines the evidence--everything from an energy-dispersive x-ray unit to a mass spectrometer.

Deaver writes well in my view and in addition to his description of the physical limitations a quadriplegic such as Rhyme experiences he also shows a good insight into the emotional and mental health aspects of such a condition.
Deaver does not spare his readers the realities of such an existence. Well worth a look. A good procedural crime thriller with the emphasis on procedural - too many references to somewhat arcane SCO work without enough explanation dilute the tension being built up in the serial killer parts - but it is the first in a series so things may improve The film is a help, though Rhymes is far more likeable through being played by Denzel A good start - I hope!
Even though I'd seen the film which seems to have followed the book very closely, I enjoyed this more than I expected, and, though I thought I'd remembered the ending, I hadn't! In parts there is a little too much forensic detail and technical information but I coped by glancing over it to get back to the story. It's a different take on the usual detective novel and I enjoyed getting to know the characters, who were well drawn. The fact that Rhyme is crippled and can only move his head and one finger, and needs everything doing for him, down to the most basic bodily functions, is dealt with in a matter-of-fact, non-pitying way, and does not become ' the story', a quadriplegic is what he is, not who he is and it is simply part of the tapestry of the story.

The reason I had not read it is that frer didnt seem as grabbing as the other titles and whilst its good it certainly doesnt rank amongst the Collcetor best.

Rhyme in his the bone collector book free free book is contemplating suicide whilst trying to stop a copycat killer obsessed with human bones, the killer leaves clues at the crime scene in order to give the police a boook to save the next victim and on goes the story.
Typical Deaver puts in a twist or two at the end and though this one was a little obvious im not sure if its generally obvious or just because ive read every RHyme-Deaver novel it was still good to get to. Definitely a book worth adding to your shelf but windows 10 enterprise evaluation activation crack free quite as good as The Coffin Dancer or a few of his other brilliant novels.
Excellent reading keeping you on your toes right through to the surprising ending.
