Summary: Another Lincoln Rhyme page-turner
Comment: If you read "The Bone Collector", you'll be relieved that Deaver continues his streak f good fiction with the "The Coffin Dancer". Continuing to chronicle the exploits of Lincoln Rhyme and his beautiful assistant Sachs. Again they're chasing a creatively names villian (The Coffin Dancer).
The Coffin Dancer is the name of a very cunning hit man; hired to kill three grand jury witnesses. In all of his career, he has left only one survivor, who was only able to describe a tatoo that was on his arm, that of Death dancing with a woman in front of a coffin (hence the name Coffin Dancer...creative huh?). With the first witness dies in a airplane explosion, a FBI agent missing, and the grand jury deadline only 45 hours away, Lincoln Rhyme and his croonies have to hustle to find the Dancer before its too late, for once hired, the Dancer never backs down.
The body count in this one is high. The pace is intense, and the ever-changing narrative (from Rhyme to Sachs to the Dancer to the victims) keeps your mind whirling.
I liked the twists and turns in the novel, it was like an elaborate chess game (actually a comparison mentioned in the book). There was a sometimes strained attempt to add personal information into the plot (Rhyme's romantic past doesn't fit with the storyline and where it's thrown in sounds cheesy and soap opera-ish). Overall though, the race to stop the Coffin Dancer kept me guessing, and the plot twist at the end made the book all the better.

Summary: Rhyme doesn't whine as much
Comment: In the sequel to The Bone Collector, quadriplegic forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme is on the trail of a killer in whom he has a very personal interest. A professional killer, the Coffin Dancer is named for his tattoo of the Grim Reaper dancing with a young woman with a coffin in the background. He has been hired to kill three witnesses before they can give testimony before the Grand Jury. The entire story takes place at breakneck speed over a 72 hour time span. Returning to aid Rhyme in the case is the beautiful former model, now NYPD detective, Amelia Sachs, who acts as Archie to Rhyme's Wolfe. After the first witness is killed when his plane is blown up, Rhyme unsuccesfully attempts to sequester the remaining two against their wills. In a psychological thriller where the moves of the Coffin Dancer and Rhyme are akin to a world class chess match, shocks abound. In a plane ride of your life and a double twisted ending, you will find yourself panting at the finish... and wishing for more. An absolute hot must read for the summer.

Summary: A Determined Lincoln Rhyme Hunts A Mad Killer
Comment: A plane explodes with Percy Clay's husband on board and a half million dollars in human organs. His killer is eliminating witnesses to a crime so they can't testify. Rhyme, the forensic quadriplegic, now has a complete crime lab, including a mass spectrometer, in his bedroom and Amelia working his crime scenes and, it seems, sharing his bed. In this fast paced thriller they are on the trail of a killer known as Coffin Dancer, a name given him, because of the tattoo a surviving victim has seen on his thigh, the Grim Reaper dancing with a woman in front of an open coffin. Percy is on his list and Rhyme is determined to keep her safe, but he's not above using her for bait.
The Coffin Dancer is a hired killer whose only goal is to seek, find and kill. His motto, "delegate....isolate....eliminate." He has been killing for quite sometime with the precision of a mad genius. And he will keep at it is he's not stopped.
In this book nobody is quite who them seem to be and the twists and turns will keep you guessing right up until the end.
