Fantastic, I thought, new Lincolm Rhyme novel. I've read all the rest, so this is just one more to complete the ongoing collection. Unfortunately, while I was entertained throughout, it is just that: one more to add to the collection. The plot twists an awful lot, and no, i'm not stupid, I could follow it all, it just didn't make a huge amount of sense. That said, the book is a page turner, and I couldn't put it down, but it just isn't one of his better works. However, it does introduce a few new characters, and looks like there may be more excitement in the future. all in all, if you're a fan, you'll enjoy, if you're not, start off with one of the earlier books.
