4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read., 9 Mar 2007
By B. R. Page "Benoit" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My mother gave me this book as I was waiting for some new ones from Amazon. About a third of the way in, once all mine had arrived, I was rather hoping she hadn't bothered. She told me to stick with it and that is the advice I will give to you!
Takes a while to get going but once it does there are endless twists that gets you into the rare 'read the book everywhere' mode whereby you can't wait even if you only have time for a quick chapter.

Very clever book and I recommend it, it gets there in the end and you find ALL that stuff at the beginning really is important.

Another of this series of books with Lincoln Rhyme is The Bone Collector. I didn't know that when I read it so when someone told I suddenly realised that my mental imagine of Lincoln was very different. So remember, Lincoln is Denzil Washington!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars On the trail of a psychopath, 25 Jan 2009
By Pundit "OEJ" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
I have more books written by Jeffrey Deaver than any other author, and that's because he is so consistent, he never seems to come up with a dud. The Empty Chair is the third of his Rhyme/Sachs series (of the seven to date), Lincoln Rhyme being the C4 quadriplegic criminalist who pursues the baddies from the confines of his Storm Arrow powered wheelchair - or his bed - in his apartment off Central Park, and the only part of his body he can move (from the neck down) is his 'ring finger', and even then only very slightly. I saw the film The Bone Collector some years ago, and as a result I can't but imagine that Denzel Washington in the part of Lincoln Rhyme in any of these novels, even though I believe that Deaver's vision of the man is white caucasian. And somehow I believe Amelia Sachs is far more attractive than Angelina Jolie (who played the part in Bone Collector), but maybe I just love tall redheads who love fast driving....... Anyway The Empty Chair is another example of Deaver making a complicated story out of ostensibly a simple plot, a skill he is very adept at. While in North Carolina for experimental surgery that might improve (or worsen) his disability, Rhyme is drawn into a local police hunt for a 16-year-old known as The Insect Boy who is alleged to be responsible for murder, rape and abduction. One of his female victims is thought to be alive but she needs to be found quickly in the intense August heat of the humid Carolina swamplands. As usual, nothing is what it initially seems, and although I constantly tried to guess the next twist, more often than not I was wrong - and I'm becoming a seasoned Deaver reader. The Empty Chair is as much a puzzle as a piece of entertaining fiction, and I admit I wasn't always able to come up with the answers before they were revealed. Standard Deaver fare, then, but a high standard nevertheless and worth adding to your personal library.
