The Bone Collector is the second Deaver's book I have read and, again, I found it very interesting. Deaver excels at building dark and spooky atmosphere and keeps you reading chapter after chapter. The longer you follow the story the more twisted and wicked things get leading to a surprising and breathtaking ending.
The author skilfully applies both his great ideas and extensive knowledge of crime scene investigation which results in a well written crime story. Moreover, at certain times very detailed narration turns it into horror and sometimes I felt tempted to take a quick look two pages further to see how things would turn out.
However, some plot twists were really far-fetched. Even though generally I don't care about realism very much, at times I couldn't stop thinking about how impossible some things were. But hey, it is called fiction for a reason.
To sum up, it is another good Deaver's book I found and I enjoyed it. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, although not my favourite fiction characters, make a really well working duet and I will certainly follow their other scary cases.
