Electrifying, Sep 6 2010
Okay, a corny title for a thriller based on electrocution but I couldn't help it. Another Rhyme tale with all the expected characters. A nice twist at the end but somewhat unbelievable compared to other Rhyme tales. It's definitely a page turner, so recommended if you are traveling and want something to keep you company. I have to say though that the lists of information that Rhyme and his team compile could be done without (Deaver does this in every Rhyme book and I always find myself skipping forward because it does nothing other than slow down the story). Good but not great.

More of the Same, May 30 2011
Being an avid Rhyme fan, I look forward to each new odd-year offering by Deaver even more than the even-year Kathryn Dance novels. This one didn't disappoint when it came to the intricacy of plot and character that punctuate all Deaver novels. Maybe, though, the familiar characters are becoming a little too familiar, The main team seems tired. They lack the sparkle that lifted the early Rhyme stories into a higher plateau. I'm sure that this is Deaver's intention, that the characters age with us, but it makes for a B-rating book. This is despite the dual plot, including the Watchmaker. A shakeup is probably in order. I'm certain Jeffery Deaver is fully aware of this more than anyone.
