This book started off slow for me...two killers chasing two women, one a police officer, through the woods at night, both groups trying to stay one step ahead of the other. It was a bit boring. However, after almost 100 pages, new twists started to be added and it became much more interesting to the point I couldn't put it down until it was finished. I can't say it was one of Deaver's best novels but I did thoroughly enjoy it and hope to see more of Brynn, the female police officer, in future writings. I will continue to rate Deaver among my favorite thriller authors. ( )

An interesting tale of cat-and-mouse story with lots of twists every few pages... ( )

Deaver gives us plenty of plot complications and major twists that I did not see coming. But they all fit logically. The characters are pretty well developed, and I like main one. The Bodies Left Behind is a good adventure romp with all the excitement and surprises I could ask for. I clearly need to read more Deaver.

Great book, keep me up late at night. Loved the strength of the female deputy and her fast thinking in all kinds of situations. Reminds us not to jump to quick assumptions...nothing is what it seems.

Recommend this book to fans of strong women and twisting plots. ( )

Deaver is best known for the Lincoln Rhyme series about a quadriplegic forensic expert. This book is a stand alone, about a woman deputy who is asked to investigate a 911 call and walks into a double murder and is forced to run with another woman. The deputy, the other woman, and the two killers play out a deadly dance, full of Deaver's trademarked plot twists. The book has interesting characters and a good plot. Recommended. ( )
