With the economy being so low and a need for escape being so high, sometimes I look to books to help me get away. One of my most favorite ways to release some tension is to cuddle up with Jeffery Deaver! The reason I am a HUGE Jeffery Deaver fan is his writing style. I stumbled across his work some years ago and he has held my attention every since. I always look to E-bay and Half.com for any of his new books before paying full price in a store. If you like Stephen King or James Patterson or a good suspense novel try reading Jeffery Deaver "Praying for sleep" or "A maiden's grave". Also if you saw the movie "The Bone Collector" try reading his book!!!!! I wish I could direct his books into a movie!
What's not to love about a mystery wherein the villain enjoys looking at eBay, but won't shop there because of his obsessive-compulsive need to stay "off the grid"? Its eBay reference aside, there is a lot to love about "The Broken Window", Jeffrey Deaver's 8th volume in the adventures of quadriplegic criminalist Lincoln Rhymes and his lover/partner, the arthritic and redheaded NYPD Detective Amelia Sachs. This time around, they face a killer whose ingenious staging of crimes is enabled by a terrifying access to the most detailed personal information. The plot's basic premise and subsequent development may be a little hard to swallow, but the information about identity theft is all too frighteningly plausible. It will make you think twice before ever filling out another appliance or gadget warranty card. And if you're willing to accept the fictitious set-up as given, then you are on board for one terrifying trip. If you like to solve the mystery right alongside the fictional detective(s), then Lincoln Rhyme's systematic listing of the various types of mounting evidence and his periodic reviews thereof will be just your cup of hemlock. If lists make your eyes glaze over, you can just skim through those short sections without sacrificing the thrill of the story itself. But as always with Deaver, even the briefest characterizations are vividly drawn. The people in his books really get up off their pages and walk around, and "The Broken Window" is no exception. Whether you read it for the people, the plot, or just to find out whodunit, "The Broken Window" is a roller-coaster ride with more than a few scary surprises along the way. It's well worth the price to buy it in hardcover. Thank you for reading my review. If you found it helpful, please vote by clicking "Yes" below!Read full review
I had read another book by Jeffrey Deaver and I really liked it so when I saw this book, I thought I'd bid on it. Another consideration was my budget. I read alot and usually purchase my books new so of course by purchasing a used book I was able to save money. For the past few years, I have been purchasing and reading large print versions. This book had regular size print. The large print is definitely easier on the eyes!
Usual Deaver twist and turns.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Having read everything Jeffery Deaver has written, I was not hesitant in purchasing his latest. Also, this particular book is part of the Rhyme/Sachs series, which I particularly enjoy. This novel is not disappointing and is a page turner. I finished it in two readings, so I guess you could say I thoroughly enjoyed it. For every Deaver fan this book is a must read.
