Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The popularity of Deaver's novels about quadriplegic police detective Lincoln Rhyme and his legwoman Amelia Sachs depends mightily on their personal stories (i.e., their romantic relationship, their struggles with depression and physical impairments) and the ingeniously twisted crimes they solve. Both elements have been served better in the past. While the plot is properly perplexing (why is a 16-year-old Harlem high schooler being stalked by a ruthless killer?), fans will be baffled by Deaver's decision to move series supporting player NYPD lieutenant Lon Sellitto closer to center stage, thus significantly limited Rhyme's presence in the story. Boutsikaris, an accomplished theater and film actor, and one of the better audio performers, provides a crisp narrative that moves the story quickly enough to build and maintain a fair amount of suspense, even through several lengthy plot recaps. He exhibits both versatility and imagination in finding the right voice for most of the characters, from the impatient, almost fussy Rhyme to the gruff and emotionally conflicted Sellitto.

From AudioFile

While the plot of Deaver's most recent Lincoln Rhyme thriller strains credulity, Dennis Boutsikaris's narration makes it a winning hand. Rhyme must find out why a seasoned killer is attempting to kill a 16-year-old Harlem girl. Geneva is researching a one-hundred-forty-year-old mystery concerning a disgraced ancestor. Rhyme and his sidekick, Amelia Sachs, have always been an engrossing pair. The trouble is there's not enough of them. Boutsikaris's glib narration saves the day, propelling listeners through the twists and turns of the complex plot. Boutsikaris also comfortably handles the street talk of Geneva and her friends. While Deaver's latest isn't all aces, because of Boutsikaris's performance, it's not a pass either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet, Nov 3 2005
I've read all Jeffrey Deaver's books and this is the best yet. Deaver's a master with a plot line and his characters ars always believable and interesting. The only flaw for me has been the extensive blood-and-guts descriptions that seem to be required in modern mystery novels that aren't "cosies". This book is different compared with his previous work, as the emphasis is less on gore and more on the prevention of a crime. Geneva is a heroine you can care about. The plot still has all the required twists and turns, but mixed in with the mystery story are fascinating aspects of New York's and US history. (Did you know that the US lost over 500,000 men during the Civil War, which is still more than in all other wars combined?) If you would like a Deaver novel that is less creepy while just as gripping and interesting as usual, this one's for you. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder goes back 140 years, Jun 7 2005
By Jenny Blickman "from the block" (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is only the second Jeff Deaver Novel I have read, the first being the "Bone Collector" a few years ago. No excuse as to why I have not read more Deaver as I liked "The Bone Collector" and I liked this novel "the Twelfth card." The author has a wonderful talent for for the unexpected twist and or turn that makes this kind of book fun. He also does a great job of developing his characters and writting bvelivable dialog. I think the quadraplegic Lincoln Rhyme is just great, a tough exterior but a big marshmellow inside. And an insperation as to how he handles his Handicap.

In this installment Rhyme is investigating why a man has been stalking a highschool student. Could it have something to do with the 140 year old death of the student's ancestor. I wont give away the plot but it takes off from here and leads the reader on a suspencful tale full of thrills and twists and turns! I highly recommend "The Twelfth cars" you wan't be disapointed!
