The Premise: In a small town, a young man was murdered, a college student and a nurse was kidnapped; then a Deputy Sheriff was stung by a Hornet’s nest critically. The main suspect is a teenage boy with an obsession with insects, nicknamed the Insects Boy. The county Sheriff has asked Lincoln Rhymes to help find the kidnapped and the suspect. This is another in series of Lincoln Rhymes and Amelia Sachs forensic investigation thriller. I saw the Bone Collector movie and in my mind’s eye I will always see Denzil Washington and Angelina Jolie as the main characters. I liked the story line, nothing is what it seems, of course. There are plenty of twist and turns. The story captured my attention from start to the end. I recommend this novel as a great weekend read, you will want to devour it and I don’t want you to be late for work!

Good read . I enjoy this series.

Great story. Lots of plots, but what surprises at the end. My favorite Deaver book thus far.

Now I know why only the first of the Lincoln rhyme series ever made it to the big screen... The worst part was that deaver must have had a deadline - he just dropped the pen in the middle of a plot that could have made this book into a two star review. I mean- seriously... A judge is going to forego a murder charge because it turns out the guy that was murdered was a cold blooded murderer himself on the promise of finding the crime mastermind? And then not even spinning out the plot on how this.great big bad guy was going to be proven guilty?

There's only one thing I regret about Deaver's writing: when I start reading one of his novels I am incapable of putting the book aside until it's finished, and then I regret having finished reading !!

A wonderful book. I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Deaver.
