review 1: I'm not a fan of short stories. That said Jeffery Deaver, a favorite writer of mine, is an exception to the rule. The man is able to create a story ending I cannot second guess. I don't care if the main character is a familiar friend or new to me, I devour the stories. In this ...

review 1: Triple Threat is a collection of three short stories by popular American author, Jeffrey Deaver, available on Kindle. Fast is a Katherine Dance story in which Dance shows, in a deadline situation, that she has more strings to her bow than kinesic analysis; Game is a story about a...

review 1: Having been disappointed by The Skin Collector, Jeffrey Deaver's last novel, I've really enjoyed this collection of short stories. The writing is necessarily much tighter than the novel and the plot more focussed. The Lincoln Rhyme story is much more like his earlier novels - the...

review 1: Lincoln Rhyme in the Caribbean? Is he on vacation or on the the job? Read the book and find out. I cannot recall from previous books in the series if Deaver had used a ploy that he uses here so effectively. If he did he probably did not use it as much as he does here. What I am t...

review 1: Billed as a follow up to the 'bone collector' , it isn't really and is more a follow on from one featuring the watchmaker that I haven't read. I was disappointed because there seemed little working out like in the bone collector and Rhyme just 'knew' what was going to happen and ...

review 1: When is a twist not a twist? If you see it coming, certainly. Or if there are so dang many of them that the exercise segues into the realm of absurdity. That is exactly what happens in this stalker tale, in my opinion.Although I find the study of body language to be fascinatin...

review 1: An interesting idea, somewhat successfully pulled off. The editors did a good job of taking various authors with different styles and combining their writing into two (mostly) coherent stories.Jeffrey Deaver starts off each story, then hands over subsequent chapters to some of th...

review 1: This is a sequel to Deaver's earlier audiobook, The Chopin Manuscripts. Each chapter is written by a different author which contributes to the overall suspense. Alfred Molina is an amazing reader. It's a great way to experience the different writing styles of about 17 differen...

review 1: This was the first time I have read Jeffery Deaver and am now adding him to my go to thriller authors! It took me a day or two to get going with the book, since I had never read the series before and had to catch up. But once I got going it was an edge of your seat read. Local...

review 1: A good short-story to tide one over until the next Rhyme and Sachs book appears on the shelf, this case lacks the extensive details of the novels but does not lack the excitement and suspense of Deaver's excellent series. This short actually adds to the characters and continuing ...

review 1: Probably one of the worst Deaver books I have ever read !Too many subplots, too many unnecessary and shallow characters, too much of just 'blah'....It's raining Plot twice !!!Deaver's habit of wrapping up All mysteries into one neat answer and always have one Last "surprise" plo...

review 1: Farcical nonsensical ridiculousness. Ad nauseam maximus. Took me forever to get into this book and be even just a little invested in it, and then he went team too much over the top. Overall, this is a terrible book as a whole, and a poor representation of Deaver, who actually ...

review 1: I liked his other books, but this one I just could not get into. It starts at Chapter 36 and goes backwards to Chapter 1. While it worked for the one Seinfeld episode, this book simply did not work for me. It seemed convoluted, contrived and simply didn't make sense to me. There ...

review 1: Courtesy of AmazonI listened to The Chopin Manuscript back when it was first released from Audible in serial format and loved the whole concept of a thriller round-robin novel. That book was fascinating and I loved it so when I saw The Copper Bracelet was released, I just had to ...

review 1: Electricity as a murder weapon? Yep, only Jeffrey Deaver could think up such a great plot. When the first death was caused by an explosion at a substation and electricity had been re-routed, the city thought terrorism. Lincoln Rhyme was called and his team got to work to try t...

review 1: Ok, here's my third Deaver. Definitely my last for a while, and deaver_1645950cmaybe forever. Of the three I've read, The Burning Wire is the best, I think, so maybe I should quit now.Deaver loves to research a subject to death, then make a novel out of the results. Something lik...

review 1: I am a big fan of Jeffery Deaver and the Lincoln Rhyme series in particular, but short stories never do it for me. The story is ok but like most short stories the plot doesn't get fully developed and there is little time to obtain twists and turns.It does help if you have read ot...

review 1: "Textbook" is really just a 45-page ebook tease for Deaver's 2013 full-length Lincoln Rhyme novel "The Kill Room", the now expected first chapter of which is included after the short tale. When a woman is murdered in a parking garage, too much forensic evidence makes the usual c...

review 1: I was really hoping something crazy would happen. That is exactly why I sought this book out. I thought from reading the first few pages on Amazon that it was setting up for something. Nope, not really. Sure, it has an ethical slant to it that most books don't have, but still...

review 1: If there’s one thing I really like about Jeffery Deaver’s short stories, is that they always manage to surprise the reader, one way or another. An Acceptable Sacrifice is not an exception to that rule.It all begins with the meeting of two partners in crime, or rather law-enforcem...

review 1: I had high hopes for this book. Hopes of smoking guns, lovable detectives, hidden clues and endings with a twist. My hopes weren't answered, but there were some curious stories that I'm still thinking about. A drug dealer single mom with a difficult decision to make, a murderer w...
