Story
When paranoid schizophrenic killer Michael Hrubek escapes from an institution, there’s no doubt of where he’s headed: to find the woman who put him away and to finally get his revenge. Lis Atcheson knows he’s out there - the man who killed two of her students. He’s haunted every sleepless night ever since she testified against him. Now, the nightmares are coming true. He’s watching...and waiting...and he’s going to take Lis to hell with him. With a massive storm coming - in more ways than one - Lis can barely prepare for the dark cloud that approaches.

When an improvised explosive device is found outside a hospital, the understaffed Middleton PD knows it’s up against a pro. No one takes credit for the sophisticated device—all that Detective Jake Sloan has to go on is a poem. The cryptic rhyme surfaced shortly after the bomb scare. But ex-soldier and football player Sloan has never been much of a poetry buff. When a second verse turns up, containing a message in code, he solicits the help of English professor Ciara Hawkins.

Just when you think it's almost over.....
Loved this book. Deaver has so many twists and turns, it keeps you guessing. He portrayed the Digger wonderfully. The singing was a great touch. Every mystery reader needs to read/ listen to The Devil's Teardrop. The characters are such that you feel you know them.

Tedious
Sometimes Deaver needs to dispense with the minutia of the investigative process and just tell us a good story. This is one of those times. The details of the investigator's personal life were an unnecessary distraction; abridging them would help maintain a more suspenseful story. The CI101 is also far too detailed. It sometimes felt like we left a novel and entered a textbook. The strung out ending just made me want to say "enough". Not one of Deaver's best efforts.

Loved the switcheroos!
First switch: it's the investigator who has special, esoteric knowledge rather than the killer.
The rest of the switches: you will predict several of the mysteries, but not all of them. Deaver is Deav-ious! This book is thoroughly captivating all the way through. A cameo from Rhyme is a special pleasure.
I would love to see more of Parker Kinkaid.
I love Edoardo Ballerini's voices for the Lincoln Rhyme books, so looked askance at this for a moment. Since it is a completely different character, it would actually be wrong to have Ballerini do it. Dufris is great here.

Exceptional Reading
This was an exceptionaly read book. The reader did a wonderful job of switching voices! The only problem I had was with his pronounciation of the Potomac River. If you are going to read something aloud ask the locals on how to pronounce the names of landmarks. The river is pronounced puh-toe-mik. It was very annoying. Take a little time to do some research.

This story was so well written, with many twists and turns, and enough character development without being fluffy. The narrator was true to the story, affecting the different characters well. I miss books like this, with storylines that keep you on your toes and leave you hungering for the next book. very satisfying!

Too much incredulity even for fiction
This listen has a major turn about four-fifths of the way through the listen and I was initially bothered by it. But as the story continued to unfold I disliked it less. The detective work and the action segments strained credulity but not enough to completely turn me off. The narrator did a good job of making each character identifiable but the author created a dialogue for Digger, the bad guy, (click, click etc.) that not even the best of narrators could rescue. And this narrator didn't get close. It was terribly annoying. Deaver is a great author so even his subpar work is passable. This was subpar and passable. If you can purchase the book on a sale, it's worth it. Lots more I could say but I think I've said enough. Average.

Totally gripping
Mr Deaver certainly is the master of twists and turns in his plots - and was surprised by most of these. An excellent book, nicely read and full of suspense. I rushed through it to find what happened, and will reread to savour it better.
