Product Description

Review

'Linda Fairstein's continued rise into the rarified realm of great crime fiction seems unstoppable. She is beginning to defy gravity. The Bone Vault will spin your head and race you away on a blast of originality, chilling real-world detail, and turbo-charged writing. If being a nationally acclaimed prosecutor wasn't enough, Fairstein has become one of America's most promising and exciting crime novelists.' Patricia Cornwell 'A tour de force. Shivers not only the bones but the marrow.' Frances Fyfield 'THE BONE VAULT is nothing short of brilliant.' Nelson DeMille 'A page-turning tour into some of the deepest and most mysterious recesses of New York's great museums' --Lisa Scottoline

Sunday Telegraph

'fascinating reading in a mystery which stretches far beyond New York.'

The author was recommended to me and as a result this was the first Fairstein book that I read. Perhaps that was my downfall as I was not already familiar with the central character Alex Cooper.

The museum backdrop for the tale is excellent and it has taught me a thing or two about various aspects of Natural History, but the tale itself lacked the tension it required. Too much emphasis is placed upon the museums and the artifacts, and not enough emphasis on the central characters.

As a reader I was never truly sucked in and I dont feel I ever truly connected. I felt like an intruder. The tale fizzled out and doesnt leave the reader with any satisfaction at the conclusion. More a case of just saying "oh" at the end.

In short the novel reminded me of a visit to a museum, for the first few hours you are in awe of the sheer splendour and fascination of the artifacts, but after a few hours the impact is dulled and you have faced information overload...

For me it didnt quite cut the mustard.

Not in the same league as writers such as Kathy Reichs.

The most compelling Alexandra Cooper novel since Final Jeopardy. The Bone Vault is an excellent read that readers of crime thriller books will love. Again we investigate a murder with Assistant DA Alex Cooper and Detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace. This novel is a real page-turner that takes you on a journey around the splendid museums of New York. The relationship between Alex and Mike takes several twists throughout and leaves you wondering exactly what the next step in their relationship is going to be. The Bone Vault gives few clues away and keeps you guessing right up until the end as to whom the killer really is.

I quite enjoyed Fairstein's first book and then got more disappointed with every new one. Alexandra Cooper is a to-good-to-be-true heroïne that doesn't provoke the slightest sympathy and the same can be said for the other characters.

What I do like about the books and especially this one - is the use of familiar New York landmarks as backdrop to the stories. The intriguing description of the Natural History's museums's hidden rooms and secret staircases is what lifts this book above the level of the average "airport" book.
