Book Review - The Cold Moon

This is the first book of Jeffery Deaver that I have read. I have seen The Bone Collector as a movie and so decided to read the Kathryn Dance series instead of the Lincoln Rhyme series. But then, Dance was introduced in a Rhyme novel. So that's how I landed on The Cold Moon.

It was not so easy staying with the story in the first few pages. Then the action started. Rhyme and Sachs started putting the pieces together in the case of the watchmaker, and Sachs separately started dwelling into the case of the cop corruption. As the clues started revealing more about the killer's plans, the motive of the killer changed..... and changed again..... Oh wait, it changes again. This is one novel where the intelligence of the antagonist equals, or surpasses, that of Rhyme. 

A thoroughly enjoyable novel with a befitting climax as well. I am eager to read more of the author. May be more of Kinesics than Forensics!
