This was my first Lincoln Rhyme novel so I was surprised by all the twists and turns -- some believeable, some not. Deaver writes a page turner. An enjoyable read. ( )

Although this is a very formulaic series, as this is a crime/thriller series this is not necessary a bad thing. Deaver is a master plotter, and his twists and turns keep the reader on their toes so that you can only be certain that the mystery is solved on the final page. Each book provides a little more insight into the unfolding relationships between his main characters. He's also not afraid to nod back to the events of previous books, there's an interesting scene with Pulaski towards the end which harkens back to an incident in "The Twelfth Card". More of the same please. ( )

Overall, a well-crafted mystery with engaging characters. Really scary murder methods for the reader to contemplate. The discovery the villian's true intentions wasn't that surprising and a little obvious that there was going to be bigger problems. But in general a great read for mystery fans. ( )

Excellent book! Fast paced and the twisting plot is never ending... but Deaver pulls it all together in the end. Reminds us to always question what you see and what you hear.

Am looking forward to Deaver's next book. ( )

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

Book description

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....
