Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A classic tension packed cat and mouse thriller that gets kinda boring in the middle and contains Deaver's trademark "twist" at the end. The country cops deal with city killer and the people in the story seem to gel nicely as the story revolves around a female deputy sheriff "Bryn." Overfall, a forgettable book, ( ) I've read some Deaver and did enjoy this one though I find I have a harder time suspending my disbelief than I used to. Some of the coincidences and twists I find harder to accept than I used to as a younger person. I used to read several different mystery series' but now find myself avoiding them. Any series, really. Can't get sucked into that especially newer ones having to wait too long for the next book. I still like a good mystery/thriller now and again but gravitate to more literary fiction these days. This was a good one with some good characters and I have a pretty good idea who committed the last murder. No spoilers though! If you haven't read Deaver yet and you enjoy suspense/thriller novels then I highly recommend him. This one is a page turner, with constant change of point of views: this is one hell of a way to build suspense. The gist: A distress call sends a detective to investigate and she stumbles..well..to a number of 'bodies left behind'. I really enjoy reading about female investigators/detectives and really liked this one.
What’s this? A Jeffery Deaver novel with no mad-dog serial killer and no state-of-the-art technology to track his moves? Pinch me. But THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND is no dream, only a different kind of nightmare — the elemental one of being hunted down in the wild like an animal.
