Hey, what's on the shelf? The Broken Window - Jeffrey Deaver

From Amazon.ca:

"Lincoln Rhyme and partner/paramour Amelia Sachs return to face a criminal whose masterful staging of crimes is enabled by a terrifying access to information...

When Lincoln's cousin is arrested on murder charges, the case against Arthur Rhyme is perfect... too perfect. Forensic evidence from Arthur's home is found all over the scene of the crime, and it looks like the fate of Lincoln's estranged cousin is sealed.

At the behest of Arthur's wife Judy, Lincoln begrudgingly agrees to investigate the case. Soon Lincoln and Amelia uncover a string of similar murders and rapes with perpetrators claiming innocence and ignorance despite ironclad evidence at the scenes of the crime. Rhyme's tem realizes this "perfect" evidence may actually be the result of masterful identity theft, AND manipulation. An information service company -- Strategic Systems Datacorp-- seems to have all the answers but is reluctant to share its information. Still, Rhyme and Sachs and their assembled team begin putting together a chilling pattern and consistent trace evidence, and their investigation points to one master criminal, whom they dub "522".

When "522" learns the identies of the crime fighting team, the hunters become the hunted. Full of Deaver's trademark plot twists, THE BROKEN WINDOW will put the partnership of Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs to the ultimate test."

Okay, so apparently this is the 8th book about Lincoln Rhyme. And I think that the reference to Deaver's trademark plot twists is interesting, because I didn't find it twisty at all.

I actually found this book quite boring and I was ready for it to end. It's a good idea, and is totally possible today with all the information floating around, and malicious people who would love to get their hands on it, but I really have to give this book a meh.

I was tipped off to Jeffrey Deaver one day while commuting. A lady in a wheelchair asked me what I was reading and we got to talking about books, and she recommended Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series. She said that it was very inspirational for her since Lincoln Rhyme is a quadriplegic. I thought it was pretty cool that Deaver did that. You don't see a lot of qadriplegic cops in crime novels, so I thought that was a good idea.

I'd pass on this book though, and I'm not planning on picking up any of Deaver's other work.
