Verified Purchase. Jeffry Deaver is one of the best thriller writers there is. The Bone Collector, the first of the Lincoln Rhyme novels is certainly no exception.
Although Lincoln Rhyme, formerly head of the Investigation and Resource Division of the New York City Police Department, is now a quadriplegic and can only move his head and done finger, there is no lack of action and tension in this gripping story. When the department asks for his help again with a case, Rhyme reluctantly agrees to help them try to solve it.
He appears to know almost everything about everything, and to be able to decipher clues from the most microscopic evidence. With the help of patrolwoman Amelia Sachs, his personal aide Thom, a crime-scene tech, and the two detectives who lured him into working on the case to begin with, Rhyme unravels all the clues through the most unexpected twists. He must overcome obstacles raised by the political establishment, the FBI, and even his own reluctance, as well as the traps set by the perpetrator to finally solve the case.
I might be that some time spent in law enforcement a long time ago has left me jaded here, but I don't usually have as much difficulty suspending disbelief as I did with this one. The scenarios, explanations, dialogue, characters, and everything else involved in the story are absolutely and ridiculously unbelievable. I mean, they are DUMB!
I can't believe there were so many positive reviews of this drivel. Lincoln Rhyme is supposed to be a curmudgeon, I get it, but he comes across as simply unlikeable just for kicks, I might go back into the text and count how many times he "barks" his responses to people. Couple the distasteful main character with the fact that he annoyingly has a pat and ready answer for absolutely every piece of evidence that is presented to him and the result is a farce.
I finished the book because I wanted to see if it would get better This would have been a one-star review, but I gave it a second star for finally coming to an end. Lincoln Rhyme is a very intriguing character in his own right. Amelia Sachs is a great cop in her own right and it took the meeting of a lifetime with Rhyme to challenge her mindset and infuse confidence in her abilities to round out her ego so she can symbolically and literally drive faster.
I'm looking forward to completing the rest of the series. The rest of the characters on the team are just as memorable because they all have issues of some kind that compliment and each other. Who doesn't love Thom! I totally loved the movie but the book is in my opinion worthy of binge reading the collection.
One person found this helpful. They are immortal now. I freed them. I took them down to the bone. I read this book for the first time when it first came out back in I loved it from the beginning and read the entire Lincoln Rhyme series after that. And as I remember this movie followed the book pretty closely. It seemed like there are a bunch of discrepancies from the book and I re-read it just to refresh my memory. The TV show is okay but it barely follows the book and, in comparison, definitely makes the movie shine.
Lincoln Rhyme was a criminalist with the New York Police Department until he was injured on the job and became a quadriplegic. He's having a difficult time finding the desire to live when abruptly he is called upon to consult on an unusual case. He brings in Officer Amelia Sachs to be "his feet" at the crime scenes. I loved the storyline. I loved the characters especially Lincoln, Amelia, and his health aide Thom. If you haven't read this book and this series, you are genuinely missing out on one of the best police procedurals out there.
The Bone Collector was a fast-paced, can't put down read that kept me reading well into the night!! I can't wait to read the next book! Lincoln Rhyme is a quadriplegic now, since his accident while in the police force. A forensics expert, he is asked to run the crime scene by his former team. Will he be able to get into the mind of the bone collector before he takes his next victim?
To do this, he needs to follow the clues left at the scene of the crime. But will it be in time I loved it!!!! Having read a couple of these Lincoln Rhyme books recently, I bought the first one to see how it all started. It is quite a remarkable book with fully developed believable characters and highly complex forensics work. This book was freaking awesome! As a physically disabled person, it is difficult to find books with a disabled main character that is written in a realistic way, such as thoughts and feelings, and the day to day difficulties along with the successes.

This vollector the first Jefferey Deaver that I have either read or listened to, and it definitely won't be my last. If you like Greg Hurwitz and Michael Connelly, you'll love this.
