I love the film, Denzel is excellent as Lincoln Rhyme but, as it the case most of the time, the book is so much better, for me it is more vivid, descriptive and much more intense from the very first page.įor those of you who haven’t seen the film or read the book, The Bone Collector is the first book in the Lincoln Rhyme series, written by American author Jeffery Deaver. This film was based on the book of the same name written by Jeffery Deaver (published in 1997) and is the first book in the Lincoln Rhyme series (there are 15 books in the series so far). If you think the name sounds familiar, like me, you probably know the name from the movie starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. Sounds rather gruesome, doesn’t it? Something more akin to a gruesome horror than a crime or police procedural thriller novel. “Deaver is the master of the plot twist, and readers will only drive themselves crazy trying to outguess him.The Bone Collector. “ the most clever plotter on the planet.”- Publishers Weekly “ is among the most brilliant and vulnerable of crime fiction’s heroes.”- New York Post “The Lincoln Rhyme series is simply outstanding.”- San Jose Mercury News “The master of ticking-bomb suspense.”- People “A top-notch thriller.Rhyme is a great character.and Sachs a great partner. “Craftily blends cutting-edge forensics, turn-of-the-century-Manhattan mayhem, pursuers becoming pursued.”- The Wall Street Journal “Deaver marries forensic work that would do Patricia Cornwell proud to a turbocharged plot that puts Benzedrine to shame.”- Booklist There are dramatic switcheroos up to the very last page, and a climactic battle to the death.”- Publishers Weekly “The headlong narrative.never lets up, and there is plenty of genuine forensic knowledge in evidence.
