Review: Best crime scene ever

This was an excellent short and just enough to satisfy me till the next chapter in the Lincoln Rhyme series comes out called The Kill Room. It has been almost two years since the last Lincoln Rhyme novel and with characters written this well I tend to miss them. Yes I know they are fictional, but Amelia and Lincoln are characters I have read for years and I love the small events in the lives of these characters as much as I do Deaver's signature twists and turns.The book starts out with one of the most impressive crimes scenes I have ever read, and Deaver leads you in as such. That little lead in sets the stage for a great short, that had me flying through pages. I wont give anything else away because I don't want to ruin any aspect of this story, so just read it. You will not be sorry.As to Deaver's skill in misdirection and plot twists they are clearly evident in this story. Again, I tried to think like Deaver and tried effortlessly to figure out who the killer was, and again I was wrong. Deaver even had a little bit at the end saying this character was a suspect and ruled out, it was almost like Deaver knew I was going to try to out think him and he anticipated my deductions. A great story and one I highly recommend to everyone who loves a good mystery. Plus the characters are wonderful.
