His disability has allowed him to gradually restrict his interest and involvement with the world to his interaction with one aide, Thom, and his misery is apparent. His condition guarantees a certain level of sympathy, so even when he treats victims with shocking carelessness he never becomes a cruel figure but remains vulnerable. What could the skeleton of the snake possibly mean? Where exactly did that dirt come from? Why the fondness for the name Hanna?

Amelia Sachs is enduring her last day of Patrol before transferring into Public Affairs when she is asked to investigate a sighting of a body.

A man has been buried and his hand is stretching out of the earth. As the main female character in a crime novel, Sachs also has to have secrets, flaws and be generally unhappy. Fair enough. I found the deepening relationship the only boring aspect of the novel. Interestingly, her past is one that could come back someday, so I thought Deaver laid the groundwork effectively for something to happen later on in the series. Reading parts of this book was a little like watching CSI.

Personally, I felt that the details were very relevant since the criminal actually knew forensics too and was trying to play some kind of game with the police. Of course, I really enjoy watching CSI precisely because of the focus on evidence, so the similarity would appeal to me. Although the forensics are the main focus there is sufficient focus on running about trying to save lives, interviewing witnesses and developing motives for the plot to feel well rounded.

The killer turns out to have an interesting blueprint and as that is gradually revealed his motives begin to come to light. Neatly tied upWhen I finished reading the book I felt pleasantly satisfied.

Everything was resolved in a sufficiently plausible manner and the book felt self-contained. I liked that there was no pressure to read the next book in that there are no big cliff-hangers forcing you to purchase number two in the series.

I would be interested in the next book, but I like not feeling pressurised by a false ending. I liked the twists and turns as the ending approached. I particularly liked the punch line involving the final victims, which tied off a thread that had seemed a little random.

I felt the story kept my interest very well because, by the end, I had forgotten a detail that I meant to keep in mind because I was following events so closely. When that detail returned I liked the way it fitted in with what had gone before. The chapters are organised into sections which are headed up by days and times.

The whole action of the story takes place over four days and there is so much happening in terms of the investigation that I did find it hard to find a good stopping point. Some readers have complained about the realism of the novel. I have to admit that it does not sound particularly feasible. However, I thought that more generally the protocols and behaviour of the various officers was convincing and I did not find the rather less realistic elements distracted from my interest in the story.

I found it to be tightly plotted and consistently interesting. The characters are rather stereotypical and their burgeoning relationship a slight distraction from the real story, but I found it interesting following the threads of the case as they unravelled.

The structure of the story trying to keep one step ahead of the killer is not new but is well handled. If you like crime fiction that focuses on forensics and genius detectives then this would suit you. This is the first in the Lincoln Rhyme series of crime novels. It has one of the most deadly killers who commits some truly horrendous murders throughout the book.

Anyone reading this series would do well to take the books in strict order if at all possible. As is usually the case with me,I read them as I find them,and of course started late and have only just read this,the first one!. Rhyme is virtually immobile from a terrible accident and is paralysed from the neck down.

Before the accident he was a brilliant forensic criminalist but now he is strongly considering suicide. Then a case comes along of such fascination,that he becomes interested in spite of himself. It helps that a beautiful,but deeply flawed police officer called Amelia Sachs is part of the investigation of the murder of a man,buried up to his neck and with his finger literally scraped down to the bone. The man's companion has been abducted.

This is just the start of a number of awful killings committed by the man they call The Bone Collector. Rhyme and Sacks work together,with Sacks doing the leg-work and Rhyme doing the brain-work. Eventually they evolve into a partnership that really works for both of them.

This is a brilliant story and a real page-turner. Not however for the faint-hearted. I can't believe I haven't discovered this author before now. This book is great and I'm not surprised there's a movie. I've probably got to see that soon. The book is practically written to be made into a movie! I was hooked from the beginning and totally absorbed by the time things were coming together to solve the crime.

I'm definitely continuing on with this series. Amelia Sacs is his girlfriend and works as his hands and eyes on the scenes of crimes. In this first book of the series, Rhyme is filled with his own sense of uselessness because of the limitations of his body and he wants to end it all for himself.

That is until he is asked to solve a very important crime where a man is found buried alive and clues are found about the next victim. As he is pulled into this investigation, it changes his whole attitude about his own death and he begins to use his mind in extraordinary ways.

The technology that Rhyme is able to use is amazing and was an education for me. In this book the introduction to the characters that will continue to be developed in future Deavers novels will have you wanting to read more.

I am a strong Jeffrey Deavers fan and encourage all mystery and thriller readers to read a Deavers book today and this is the one of the best for starting the series since it is not only the first, but tremendously exciting.

I was tempted to give up when I hit this piece of description of the female cop, Amelia Sachs, on page Her Julia Roberts lips grew taut. Her incredible beauty is described ad nauseum in the novel--we're told at one point she has "iridescent blue eyes. She's partnered with Lincoln Rhymes, a quadriplegic who was a top criminologist in the New York Police Department before his accident, to be his eyes and ears, a situation that makes me think of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. He's the brain, she's the brawn.

The forensic details were fascinatingly presented; because she has to be Rhymes eyes and she's new to crime scene work, it allows scenes to be described and have Rhymes explain so that we learn forensics along with her. As a New York City native and resident, I also loved the bits of city history and geography prominently featured in the mystery.

Several aspects of this novel about a series of kidnappings seemed melodramatic, gruesome, and far fetched. And the resolution features a ludicrous coincidence.

But the chemistry between Rhymes and Sachs ultimately redeemed the book for me, and I might someday read more in the series. Top reviews from India. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Verified Purchase. I had seen the movie when it was released years back and read the novel just now.

The movie version does follow the novel but deviates a bit towards the end. The novel is quite suspenseful and does keep you on the edge of your seat. It was easy picturizing these two fine actors while reading the book. I have read Jefferey Deaver's short stories and they are all spellbounding. But in this novel, i thought the writing was not very tight. Dialogues were not taking the story ahead and towards the end, i was skimming through.

The overall plot and story was good. So i have mixed thoughts about this book. Deaver is a terrific storyteller. Plotting were brilliant. Everyone was right, the book is way better than the movie. It's a page-turner, and to Deaver's credit, the extensive scenes about collecting and analyzing crime scene trace evidence rarely get boring. The pace is terrific. This book is indeed ticking bomb suspense.

One person found this helpful. Although this is made into a movie, through out the novel some set of story content keeps repeating in different modes. One of the best of Jeffery Deaver. This book is brilliant in its gerne. Jeffrey Deaver's writing is really enjoyable. The chase sequences are thrilling. It's dark and terrifying. I would had given it 5 stars if it had a more interesting ending. Hi guys, thank you so much for your reports about the audio player issues.

Click to rate this post! A book that is so well written, and completely unpredictable that it has your heart racing? After a long while, I finally found that in The bone collector by Jeffery Deaver. The first book in the Lincoln Rhyme series, the book brings forth an unusual combo of a quadriplegic forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and a breathtakingly beautiful female Police detective Amelia Sachs on a hunt to find 'the bone collector'.

Amelia acts as Lincoln's eyes and ears at the crime scene, and together they solve the various clues left by the killer, to save the next victim. What I loved the most about this book is its unpredictability. As you cover each page you are as equally intrigued by the killer as the protagonists, and equally overwhelmed when each clue is solved to save the next victim.

The bone collector is different from other crime thrillers as it focuses more on the forensic side of crime solving and the reader is left well educated about the various aspects of the same. This is a must-read for everyone who is into crime thrillers.

What the hell! It doesn't matter if you like crime thrillers or not. But if you are into reading, you HAVE to read this book!!!

See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. He is seriously wondering whether his life is now worth living. A killer stalks the streets of New York City. He is kidnapping his victims and planning horrific deaths for them. He compounds his intentions by leaving the police clues at each scene of his next intended murder. It is a constant race against time and the police appear to be losing. The authorities turn to Rhyme but is he in a fit state to cope with demands of a serial killer investigation.

In addition to the search for the killer there are several sub-plots continuing throughout the story. The on-going United Nations conference that New York is currently hosting. Deaver writes well in my view and in addition to his description of the physical limitations a quadriplegic such as Rhyme experiences he also shows a good insight into the emotional and mental health aspects of such a condition.

Deaver does not spare his readers the realities of such an existence. Well worth a look. A good procedural crime thriller with the emphasis on procedural - too many references to somewhat arcane SCO work without enough explanation dilute the tension being built up in the serial killer parts - but it is the first in a series so things may improve The film is a help, though Rhymes is far more likeable through being played by Denzel A good start - I hope!

Even though I'd seen the film which seems to have followed the book very closely, I enjoyed this more than I expected, and, though I thought I'd remembered the ending, I hadn't!
