Product Information

Deaver lite: a fleet, irresistible tale with just enough twists to have been imagined by someone else. But Colter’s focus is re-set when the company’s chief designer, Allison Parker, subsequently goes missing - on the run from her violent husband who has just been released from jail and is threatening to kill her. The company is based in a Midwest Rust Belt town that’s seen better days. The river running through the town is badly polluted and frankly this place seems like just the sort of dump anyone would run away from! But her knowledge and skills are considered irreplaceable and the owner of the company is therefore willing to spend whatever it takes to find her and keep her safe. So, as her husband and a couple of trigger happy thugs go on the chase Colter is searching too, desperately hoping that he’ll get to her first. But hang on a minute… this is a Jeffery Deaver novel, so everything won’t be quite as you expect it to be. The most richly accomplished of the brothers’ pairings to date—and given Connelly’s high standards, that’s saying a lot.

Officer Rhyme’s works to locate the identity of the serial killer, so that the case can go to trial and end in a conviction. Jeffery Deaver is a world renowned author and contributor to the literary world. His chilling and thrilling writing speaks for itself. The quality and clarity of his presentations are paramount and as some have been adapted to a cinematic experience.

The second thread starts in the second chapter that portrays the very early release of Jon Merritt from the local county detention center. He is the husband to the woman, Allison Parker, who designed the electronic device. He was incarcerated for the attempted of his wife. The beauty of Hunting Time, as with the earlier books in the Colter Shaw series, is the unexpected twists that are thrown at you in rapid succession. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on the direction you’re headed, Deaver manages to throw in another unexpected wrinkle to prove that he’s got it over you once again. As Shaw ventures further into the wilderness, the truth becomes as hard to decipher as the forest’s unmarked trails...and peril awaits at every turn.The star of this novel is once again Colter Shaw. Here in the longer format, Deaver’s protagonist is allowed to grow and evolve before our eyes in what is the fourth outing of this unique character. While some readers may find the complexity of the plot and the abundance of twists overwhelming at times, those who enjoy thrillers with intricate narratives will find "Hunting Time" to be a satisfying and rewarding read. The finale is a masterstroke, leaving readers stunned and eager for more.

I have read the first two novels and the last Lincoln Rhyme novel. I personally like this series over the Lincoln Rhyme novel. This author has earned my Must-Read rating for this series. I recommend reading this novel, and I am looking forward to reading further books in this series and will carefully consider other novels by this author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and rate it with five stars. The Bone Collector is a chilling story of a police officer, Lincoln Rhyme, working with a female officer to find a killer before he kills again. Rhyme is a quadriplegic working with intelligence and experience as he cannot physically review the crime scenes. Two characteristics make this book stand out from other thrillers. One: The author includes rules taught to Cole by his dad on how to survive: Definitely recommend the book. It was a great mystery/thriller that kept me guessing until the end. Loved the characters, story and writing style. Look forward to reading more books by the author.

The only aspect that I found questionable the dangers of the safety of the small modular reactor. I will chalk this up to some stretching of the facts required to make the story flow and not a fatal flaw. Otherwise, I enjoyed how Shaw always prepared no matter what happens. Yes, I know that the author wrote it that way, but I still enjoyed Shaw’s ingenuity. I enjoyed how the author kept the tension and suspense at an ever-increasing level. At the end, the author revealed a possible clue to a future novel in an off-hand remark. For what may be objectionable to some readers, there is a presence of vulgar and rude language. Vulgar was about one-third of the total. There are a few instances of impious language. For me aspect of the novel was not an issue for me and, I suspect, not for most readers. There were not any intimate scenes. There is violence, some implied and some described in the more edgy way as it happens. For the novel overall, I do not believe that these aspects are a reason not to read this novel. In conclusion, "Hunting Time" is a riveting thriller that showcases Jeffery Deaver's storytelling prowess. With its clever twists, engaging characters, and relentless suspense, this book is sure to appeal to fans of the genre. Be prepared to have your heart pound, your blood race, and your head spin as you embark on this thrilling journey through the woods with Colter Shaw. This movie was adapted from the Jeffery Deaver novel The Bone Collector and did very well in theatres as well. A second book named A Maiden’s Grave was made into an HBO film renamed to Dead Silence, with James Garner and Marlee Matlin in the leading roles.
