More like 2.5 stars It was ok.
Note to self: Don't skip books in a series, even if you are reading a novella in the series.
Too short and a bit too boring.

WTF?? Lincoln Ryme's in a wheelchair?? Well, I guess that blows that suspenseful surprise when I get around to reading the book that it occurs in. (palms self on forhead)Too short and a bit too boring.

Meh, I'm glad this was only a 75 page story - 2*
This story didn't lack the substance to be a novel and I was glad it was over, to be honest.
Now, I'm ready for The Steel Kiss (#2).

I prefer his novels. This was pretty bland and the cops' solving the crime hard to believe.

A short story that obviously doesn't have all the detail that usually appears in the Lincoln Rhyme books but is nonetheless entertaining and a worthwhile read.
On a plus, it doesn't feature the constant repetition of reading out the clues on the whiteboard, which may work ok on paper or an ebook but in audiobook format quickly gets boring and tedious, having to listen to 5 minutes or more of every clue on an ever growing list read out again and again and again.

I am a huge fan of Jeffrey Deaver's books especially his Lincoln Rhyme series. This was a great short read with unexpected twists that have become a signature of Deaver's writing and even though I expect them in his books they still always manage to take me by surprise. The deliveryman is killed whilst out doing deliveries with his young son and its up to Amelia Sachs and Lincoln Rhyme to solve the case whilst keeping the young son and potential witness safe from the killers. This book would make a great first read for anyone wanting to dip their toe into Deavers's Lincoln Rhyme series. But I should warn you, once you try a Lincoln Rhyme book you will want to read them all. #goodreads #litsy #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #lincolnrhyme #thedeliveryman #jeffreydeaver #amazonkindle
