The Coffin Dancer

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book!
Review: This book is a 5 star book.

"The Coffin Dancer" is the second novel in this series featuring Lincoln Rhyme and his gorgeous assistant Amelia Sachs. This book follows after the "Bone Collector".

The book centers on Lincoln Rhyme, a disabled forensic "detective" and his battle of the wits with a hired killer, the "Coffin Dancer". Time is critical as two witnesses need to be kept alive over the weekend so they can testify against a known felon. However this is no typical killer, once you hire him you cannot change your mind. He will kill the targets at all costs... unless he can be stopped.

The book is a fast paced novel that sucks you in and keeps you there. Deaver works in lots of details about forensics, and makes the art of the science very appealing.

Over all I thought this was one of the better books I've read in years and would recommend it to anyone.
