'I pride myself on predicting plot twists before they happen. With this book? I didn't have a hope in hell!

Great read' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As always, a brilliant thriller, that' I found hard to put down. I love the Lincoln Rhyme series, not only for the stories, the characters and the plot twists, but the fact that I feel that I've learnt something new, with each book. Great storytelling from even greater research. 10 out 5 stars.

A good sequel to the bone collector. With more twists and turns than a roundabout. A good read
