Its been quite a while since I read a Lincoln Rhyme novel. I've been off reading other books to match various book club and challenge books. I'm really glad this came up in my TBR challenge. I think it might be my favorite Rhymes so far. This is all about identity theft and manipulation. Deaver does an excellent job making the manipulation of information.
Lincoln's cousin, with whom he had a close relationship to his teens but no longer, has been arrested for murder. Throughout the story, we get bits and pieces of the cousins relationship as Lincoln tries to clear his name. It is a convoluted case that has everything to do with several murders in which other people have been arrested, tried and found guilty. A serial murderer who has found a way to commit his crimes while convincing everyone else that a perfectly innocent person was responsible - pretty scary the way that happens.
Every time I thought they'd caught the guy, the story took a twist. I did a little listening to the audio and reading of the e-book when an audio wasn't appropriate. The audio is the same narrator that has done the others in the series and he's quite good. If I have a complaint, it is the repetition of the notes on the white board. It takes up quite a few pages and quite a bit of listening time. With the book, you can skim past quickly but with the audio, you usually just listen.
