An easy read, but not the most stimulating and the writing felt a bit lazy and cliched in places................... ( )

Couple of mistakes in plot logic near the end, but it was an enjoyable read. ( )

"Cold Moon" by Jeffery Deaver was a good mystery with 'the watchmaker' emerging as a the villain in this story, another in the Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffery Deaver. Combining Rhyme’s talents with those of his partner Amelia Sacs, and Kathryn Dance, who is an expert in the field of kinesics and is a visiting expert from the Monterey Peninsula at the California Bureau of Investigation. Trying to solve the clues in the ongoing murders, where the Watchmaker’s murders leaves a moon faced clock ticking at each crime scene. The team finds a trail of confused clues that seem to leave to the conclusion that there might be an attempt to steal a precious timepiece and the victims are just collateral damage. However, the leads all seem to go to the wrong places and the story keeps turning up bodies and possible complications, such as police involvement in all the wrong ways. This is another enjoyable read for fans of police and detective mysteries. ( )

Epigraph
You can't see me, but I'm always present.
Run as fast as you can, but you'll never escape me.
Fight me with all your strength, but you'll never defeat me.
I kill when I wish, but can never be brought to justice, Who am I?
-Old Man Time.
Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life. -William Faulkner

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743491572, Paperback)

On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer's calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims' last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence -- and Rhyme can't afford to have his trusted partner, Amelia Sachs, distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself....
