Ok story but still worth a listen.

The story was ok for me, had its moments of dragging and the "slang" used was cringeworthy. Narrator was ok. This is about my 4th book in the series and this one wasn't as good as the others in my opinion but still an ok purchase.

Good plot

Loved the twists and turns in plot. I do grow weary of the repeated recitation of the "evidence boards". Probably a useful device in print, but tedious in audio

Love Lincoln Rhyme but this was disappointing

The reader was miscast. He was not very good at character voices, and in this book, many of the voices had urban, cultural dialects, which are difficult for readers to do authentically. His lack of believability was disrracting, but the book has Issues as well. It is a slow-moving story, and the book includes lots of repetition. Although Lincoln Rhyme is an interesting and complex character, and the cast of characters around him is compelling, it was plot that was the problem this time. I just couldn't stay engaged in the story.

good story, but lazy narrator selection

Another good story. However, whoever selected the narrator made a big mistake. His attempt at adopting African American vernacular was cringe worthy. Not to mention, the production has strange occurrences of dead air. I highly recommend the story and it's twists and turns. I highly recommend buying a different version of this audio book with a different narrator.

GET REAl

Maybe I've read too many of these ,because the unrealistic events are getting on my nerves.If CSI is unbelievable these stories are worse, plus they have super woman Amelia there to save the day. What saves the book is a great twisting plot, as well as great characters good and evil.It's a good book if you can overlook how farfetched it is.The entire Ryme's series despite short comings is heads above a lot of mysteries out there now.
