A review by latas
A Textbook Case by Jeffery Deaver

3.0

For those who have read other Lincoln Rhyme novels, there is nothing new. This novella is like a filler. It has been a while since i last read this series, but i haven't forgotten any of the details that Deaver repeats in every book - The forensic procedures that Rhyme and team follows (walk the grid etc), Rhyme's condition, Amelia's super-model looks, arthritis, her quirks (itchy scalp).
The mystery was ok. But I doubt any detective would analyze a whole lot of garbage minutely to solve a crime (there are so many DNA samples - both human and animals - a garbage dump, how is it possible to figure which ones belong to the perp)

I am glad that this is a short story and I didn't waste much time on this one.
