The Broken Window: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel (Lincoln Rhyme) |
Editorial Review:
Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller.
Lincoln Rhyme and partner/paramour Amelia Sachs return to face a criminal whose ingenious staging of crimes is enabled by a terrifying access to information....
When Lincoln's estranged cousin Arthur Rhyme is arrested on murder charges, the case is perfect -- too perfect. Forensic evidence from Arthur's home is found all over the scene of the crime, and it looks like the fate of Lincoln's relative is sealed.
At the behest of Arthur's wife, Judy, Lincoln grudgingly agrees to investigate the case. Soon Lincoln and Amelia uncover a string of similar murders and rapes with perpetrators claiming innocence and ignorance -- despite ironclad evidence at the scenes of the crime. Rhyme's team realizes this "perfect" evidence may actually be the result of masterful identity theft and manipulation.
An information service company -- the huge data miner Strategic Systems Datacorp -- seems to have all the answers but is reluctant to help the police. Still, Rhyme and Sachs and their assembled team begin uncovering a chilling pattern of vicious crimes and coverups, and their investigation points to one master criminal, whom they dub "522."
When "522" learns the identities of the crime-fighting team, the hunters become the hunted. Full of Deaver's trademark plot twists, The Broken Window will put the partnership of Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs to the ultimate test.

I like Deaver but ending was weak.: 
I like Deaver novels but this one had a weak ending to a very good beginning and middle. I read 3-4 books at a time as I take one every where I go that I might have to wait (like doctor's office). But this one had a very good beginning such that I decided to read it through right away. The middle was quite good and I looked to forward to the conclusion but I was disappointed. I thought the ending was quite weak and too many coincidences. And the secondary plot's ending was weak also and seemed like either...

The best...: 
I am a real Jeff Deaver fan and I have enjoyed every book of his that I've read but this one is really outstanding...I think this is the best book he's written yet...gripping, interesting, twisting plot...techie stuff! Excellent, must read.
Twists and turns and more:
This is one of the best books I have read this year!
The suspense and thrill ride Deaver provides is like none other.
The plot is fascinating and informative. The characters well developed, interesting and intriguing. This is the 8th Rhyme and Sachs novel Deaver has written and everything: plot, characters and writing are as fresh as ever.
Fantastic Read! Enjoy!
Good subject matter but no thriller!: 
I love all the Lincoln Rhyme books, and although the subject matter of identity theft was very relevant and Deaver wove an interesting story of how its done the investigation lacked something for me...it was not as intense as previous novels and when the identity of the Unsub was revealed it was really a let down and I had a hard time even finishing the book unlike the others I've finished in a day or two. However, what was really nice was the back story of Rhymes childhood and getting to know his family...more info
