Now a major television series starring Russel Hornsby, Arielle Kebbel, and Michael Imperioli, “Lincoln Rhyme is more relentless than ever” (People) and Jeffery Deaver delivers “supercharged tension” (USA TODAY) in this New York Times bestselling suspense masterwork.

NYPD criminalist Lincoln Rhyme joins his brilliant protégé Amelia Sachs, in the hunt for the Coffin Dancer—an ingenious killer who changes his appearance even faster than he adds to his trail of victims. They have only one clue: the madman has a tattoo of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in the front of a coffin. Rhyme must rely on his wits and intuition to track the elusive murderer through New York City—knowing they have only forty-eight hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again.

Coffin Dancer is a “heart-stopping” (Booklist) thriller from #1 international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver’s “simply outstanding” (San Jose Mercury News) Lincoln Rhyme series.

Good story, even better twist. This was my first book after watching the movie years ago. wasn't fond of the narrator.

Good story

The story kept me guessing until the end, and I never saw it coming. The narrator did an excellent job. I look forward to listening to the next book.

Another superb performance by Jeffery Deaver encompassing every element needed for a great story. I was practically on the edge of my seat when Amelia finally caught him. I can't wait to dive into the next book.

After my second time or reading this novel, I was greatly annoyed with the narrator. His version of Lon Salito was a mush mouthed bad Italian imitation which was difficult for me to listen to. And his southern accent of detective Bell was just as bad. It made me want to stop listening but I didn't. His narration of Sacks made her sound like a weak, whining weakling. I will watch for Jeff Harding now and not listen to anything he narrates. The story was interesting with some twists.

The story good, though dragged a bit at times. One big flaw was the prime antagonist who who was supposed to be an amazingly bright strategist but had an idiotic obsession with worms and “cringiiness.” This conflict was distractingly unrealistic and challenged the notion that Rhymes was this great criminologist. The narrator was very good 80% of the time but his voice got the “bad guys” was grating comical and belonged better in a cartoon than a serious book.

Good Story, Irritating Narration
