The Cold Moon

A Lincoln Rhyme Novel

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Joe Mantegna

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.

Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic detective made famous in The Bone Collector is back in a thriller from the masterful Jeffery Deaver. When a sadistic killer leaves clocks at his murder scenes, will time run out for the criminologist and his partner Amelia Sachs?

On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer’s calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims’ last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence—and Rhyme can’t afford to have his trusted partner Amelia Sachs distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself.©2006 Jeffery Deaver; (P)2006 Simon & Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved.

Great Lincoln Rhyme novel

If you could sum up The Cold Moon in three words, what would they be?

For some reason, I stopped listening to the Lincoln Rhyme series, but this one has gotten me interested again.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot line with Amelia Sachs and her father's memory.

Great job 👍

Twist and turns to mystify you. Very entertaining with danger lurking in every corner.

Very intricate. Pay attention!

This is my first Deaver book and I am now going to listen to more. Drawing characters is the author's real strength. They are interesting, complicated and leave you wanting more. The plot of this book is fascinating, but rests on some coincidences that are a little hard to swallow. Suspend that instinct for disbelief a bit, and you'll have a great time. Good narration -- holds your interest. If half-stars were possible, I'd give another half.....

Really Good Book

This book was really good, but I have to tell you some of the plot was a bit far fetched. If you fell asleep or lost your focus you had to back track to see what you might have missed. The plots were at times too twisted to be believed but entertaining anyway.

Problem with Narrator

Deaver is as good as ever. The problem was the narrator. He has a pleasant voice but was unable to speak in a different voice for most of the other characters. A few times I found this confusing.
