The Coffin Dancer

Curling up with a nice novel is one of the greatest pleasures in life and I am a big fan of the unputdownable category of thriller novels. Lincoln Rhyme is the hero in many of Deaver’s novels. He is the same guy who was also there in “The Bone Collector” which was made into a very successful movie starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. Rhyme is a quadriplegic which means that he does not have the use of any of his limbs and is bed ridden. Why would a thriller writer make his lead protagonist so crippled physically? Because he wants to show us what a brilliant mind the hero has and can solve complex cases using only forensics and his intelligence.One would expect such a thriller to be either too comples and boring in parts but I assure you this book is neither. It is one of the most fast paced thrillers I have read and the twists and the turns are never ending. You will also learn  a lot of new things in Forensics and you will be surprised how much information can be gleaned using them.

Don’t miss it.
