Rating:  Summary: A thriller to the last page! Review: Jeffery Deaver has written one of the best thrillers of the summer! I have been a fan of his since the Bone Collector and will continue to read his books. Parker Kincaid is a character that captures your heart and puts your mind to work solving puzzles. I knew the puzzle was too easily solved when it looked like all the bad guys were dead. I'd been trying to figure out for pages who the real psychopath was and was totally shocked when it was revealed. Just when you think you have all the loose ends tied up, Deaver throws in another twist and keeps you guessing until the end. Can't wait to read more Parker Kincaid and/or Lincoln Rhyme adventures.
Rating:  Summary: WOW!!! Jeffrey Deaver does it again!!! Review: As usual, Mr. Deaver does not disappoint you. I did not want to read this book in one sitting, as I thought I'd like to savor its twists and turns and leave the,as always, suspenseful ending until the next day. However, I failed and once again, greeted the next day, fatigued and yawning... But, I enjoyed every moment of the book!!! About Lincoln Rhyme... I thought he died in Deaver's last novel???
Rating:  Summary: A thriller to the very very end Review: Excellent book. Not quite as good as "The Bone Collector" but a wonderful "read" for the summer. The end tells what kind of writer Jeffrey Deaver is. It never quits.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointed by the ending Review: This book was excellent reading. A real "keep you up till all hours of the night". The plot moved at a pace which kept me interested and the characters were believable. I was slightly disappointed by the hokey ending but can't wait for the next Jeffery Deaver book.
Rating:  Summary: INTENSE Review: _The Devil's Teardrop_ is impossible to put down. Having lived in Washington DC and ridden the Metro often, this thriller had even more impact than it would have otherwise. IT IS A GREAT THRILLER. Of all of the books I've read this summer only _The Triumph and the Glory_ can compare for intensity.The premise is fascinating--a national capital gripped by terror as a lone killer wreaks havoc and makes demands while the hero races against time to prevent even more horrific carnage. If you buy one book this year make it this one, it is fantastic.
Rating:  Summary: minute-to-minute fright Review: I picked up this book and could not put it down. As alwayshappens with Deaver's books, I thought I had the ending figured out,then wham--twist after twist after twist! I highly recommend this book!
Rating:  Summary: Thr Rollercoaster Read of the summer!!! Review: No need to go to your local rollercoaster for chills and thrill this summer; just read Jeffery Deaver's "The Devil's Teardrop." Parker Kincaid gave up the FBI in order to gain custody of his two children. Now, on the last night of the year he is called into action to decypher a note left by an assassin. The target, various places in Washington,D.C. The purpose, to gain $20 million to stop the carnage. As a forensic document examiner, Kincaid pulls from the note various clues as to who the gun man is and where he will strike again. Into the mix Deaver has added Special Agent Margaret Lucas, Cage another FBI agent with extra ordinary influence and various other characters. Everyone has a hidden aggenda and everyone wears a mask. This novel starts out slow, but picks up speed after the first two gun incidents. From there on it is one puzzle after another. Parker Kincaid reminds the reader of Deaver's other hero, Lincoln Rhyme, in that their area of expertise is beyond the norm. Rhyme is used as a minor consultant in this tale, but is it Parker who captures the reader and makes you hold on tight. Every twist and dead end added up to an in your face thriller. Each time you believe the problem is solved, another facet is added to the maze. This is a great read and shouldn't be overlooked. Parker Kincaid and Lincoln Rhyme give Jeffery Deaver excellent characters to build multiple novels on. I can't wait for the next tale of either men...Hope Jeffery Deaver doesn't wait too long!
Rating:  Summary: Another Smash Hit For Deaver Review: The Devil's Teardrop starts off a bit slowly and,while interesting, doesn't really take off until almost the middle of the book.BUT once it does hold on to your seats and be prepared not to get up until you finish. As usual, Deaver delivers interesting characters, a well developed plot, lots of action and surprises galore. I strongly recommend that you place The Devil's Teardrop-- whose publication date is in August--at the top of your Summer Reading List.
Rating:  Summary: Another winner from a master of suspense Review: New Year's Eve is a great time for an assailant seeking to perform mass murders because people celebrate the holiday in massive groups. Digger opens fire on a subway, injuring and killing many people. Subsequently, his partner leaves a note with the police telling them that more killings will follow unless $20 million dollars is given to them. Over the objection of the FBI, a panicking mayor agrees to the killers' demands. However, a truck runs over Digger's partner. Without his confederate to stop him, Digger will go on a killing spree unless the FBI can find a miracle and stop him. The Feds have no idea who the killer is. Desperate, they turn to former agent Parker Kincaid, a document examiner expert, to search the note for clues. Reluctantly Parker agrees even though this may cost him plenty in his personal life. If his ex-wife learns he is back in the business, she will probably gain full custody of their children without even visiting rights for him. Jeffrey Deaver is in top form with his latest thriller THE DEVIL'S TEARDROP. The hero will do anything for his children except allow other children to die because of his inactivity. His ethical code turns him into a believable person chasing after an unknown assailant. Mr. Deaver shows his abundance of talent as he successfully turns a cold blooded killer like Digger into a surprisingly sympathetic character. Fans will want to read more about the adventures of Parker Kincaid. Harriet Klausner
Rating:  Summary: WOW! What a great book. Review: If you have never read a Jeffery Deaver book, you are missing out. Deaver is the master of the suspense/thriller genre and 'The Devil's Teardrop' is perhaps his best to date. When you start this book (and I know you will thanks to this review), make sure you have enough time to finish it in one sitting. It's that good. As I do with all his books, I finished it and wished I had more to read. So I started over and read it again. READ THIS BOOK!! It will blow you away.
