THE CUTTING EDGE - JEFFERY DEAVER


Firstly,  still on the Large Print selection at the library while my nose continues to heal to allow reading glasses to be lodged thereon.
Secondly, bravo Jeffery. You finally did a good Lincoln Rhyme story without the fine detail of forensic detective work other that the necessary. If you look below you can see that I clearly had reservations in the past, frustrations swirling as I took in shedloads of fine detail, minutiae really, that didn't really progress the story.

The story? Well, murders are committed, surprisingly, and clues are scattered about, we have a love story and we have District Attorneys who have their panties in a bunch, jealous of Linc's talent and conclusions and inevitably Linc prevails, but that isn't even a spoiler. 
I admit that the final revelation was a complete surprise, but that was calculated too. Opened up the next Rhyme story neatly. 
Read it.
