This is a Lincoln Rhyme book that I had missed up to this point. It has a nice twist in that Amelia Sachs is really the lead character in this particular story. It's a good mystery, a captivating read, with some interesting psychological twists. Recommended.

A very strong 4 right here. OH. MY. GOD Jeffery Deaver did it again!! The last 1/3 of this book alone is a series of WILD plot twist that's crazy enough to make it up to all the laggings this third installment has put me through. And yes, I've plunged headfirst into the series and finished 3 books in a row. Again, I didn't like the whole storyline at time, but by the end it didn't really matter. The revelation hit me pretty hard. I mean, I can see now that Jeffery Deaver loves his characters enough not to give a bad, undeserved ending, but hell the journey toward that point was sure tough as hell. In this book, the trio (Rhyme, Sachs, Thom) found themselves in North Carolina for Rhyme's special medical treatments. Again, like a harbinger of evil that they were, awful crime followed them all the way to the middle of sad-looking, deadend town called Tanner's corner. Running lose over there was a kid known as the Insect Boy, because well, he's a biophelia who loved small creatures and basically creeped everyone out. Then shit happened and two girls went missing. Fast forward and Sachs became a rogue cop (mild spoiler here). And the whole town erupted like a disturbed hornet's nest. It was a hell of a roller-coaster ride of a plot, man. Again, great character development! I love everyone in this series (esp. Thom) I ended up loving the (alleged) villain again, which is pretty alarming, this has to stop at some point I guess lol
These books are like Michael Bay movies for people who read; they're fun, they go fast, and you might remember a few things about them in a year, but not too much.
