Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Mantegna applies his considerable talent to this latest Lincoln Rhymes mystery. Deaver's quadriplegic detective, Rhymes and his partner, Det. Amelia Sachs, attempt to stop a sadistic serial killer known as the Watchmaker, so named because he leaves specially constructed clocks at the site of each of his murders. However, as so often happens in Deaver's stories, not everything is even close to what it seems. Mantegna gives a smooth, no frills performance. He keeps the vocal deviations for each character to a minimum, concentrating instead on making their dialogue natural and realistic. His low-key delivery works especially well when describing the point of view of the Watchmaker or when delving into the inner thoughts of the killer's sexually deviant accomplice. The scenes between the two villains as they calmly discuss the fates of their intended victims, both before and after death, are genuinely chilling in their execution. Deaver fans will be pleased to have Rhymes and Sachs back in a new intricate and compelling thriller, with Mantegna once again serving as an excellent narrator.

From AudioFile
In the latest Lincoln Rhyme mystery, a deadly duo working under the moniker of the "Watchmaker" systematically does away with victims, leaving behind a ticking clock. Joe Mantegna adds some shading and darkness to his familiar tough-guy voice and manages to maintain the momentum throughout this police procedural whose unique protagonist is a quadriplegic NYPD detective. There will be no disappointments for Deaver fans, who will find some new twists--fissures in Lincoln Rhyme's relationship with ladylove Amelia Sachs, a forensics expert, and the dual murder story lines. Those not accustomed to the gruesome details of a Deaver plot should consider themselves forewarned. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
