Product Description
On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer's calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims' last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence -- and Rhyme can't afford to have his trusted partner, Amelia Sachs, distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself....

 Great start,but unfulfilling and cheesy ending! July 28, 2008
I am an avid fan of the Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs duo. But this story left me feeling disappointed. It started out with a bang, and made you keep the pages turning. I even survived the first AND second turn.(the rest were predictable!) But, the ending! Enough with the domestic militia and the Ted Kascinski types. Plus, the "perp" gets away. Left a big fan with a big disappointment. I hope the follow-up book serves it's readers a better plate of satisfaction. :)
 Rhyme & Sachs face their most cunning killer. March 20, 2008
Having read all of the Lincoln Rhyme novels I feel that this is one of the best. Rhyme and Sachs face their most cunning killer yet. Sachs is working on two separate cases. In addition, a retired cop shares some information to Sachs concerning her father. This book also involves cops on the take, more murders and clocks. Also when something goes wrong on the case that Sachs is the primary on, she finds her self being the scapegoat and endangering her career. Lin gets help from a detective who specializes in reading body language. Linc is skeptical but eventually finds her help invaluable. This was a page turner for me. I am looking forward to the next book which comes out in June. Get this book, you wont be sorry.
 Reasonable Rhyme March 10, 2008
After the curiously depressing The 12th Card, this entry in the series is lots more fun, although the twists and turns get dizzying and a little predictable. (Whenever the point of view switches to the doer -- you know he's about to get nabbed.) Maybe Deaver's reliance on super villians is getting a bit tired. The guys on C.S.I. manage to walk the grid without having to go up against a genius to rival Professor Moriarty each week. I don't recall that was the case with the series' best -- The Empty Chair. Also, this time a round there's a hint of socio-political commentary, but it's so vauge you're not sure what he's advocating except not offending anyone.
Enough twists! March 7, 2008

I was disappointed in this book. It's not completely bad, but enough twists already! Lincoln Rhymes novels are interesting enough on their own (for fans of forensic and those of us who are interested in the actual main and usual characters). It doesn't need that many and sometimes outrageous twists! Leave that for the "Twisted" book series.
Tick Tock January 2, 2008
The plot changes so fast toward the end of the book, what you thought was going to happen does not happen. Deaver's plots are astonishing. I often wonder how he comes up with some of this stuff. There is no thriller writer like Jeffery Deaver. The Cold Moon will give you what you want in a thriller book. Read it tonight!
