Loved this book! I'm not a huge crime reader but this is the best book in the genre that I've read so far.
It was interesting but some of the characters got annoying that I had to listen sporadically.
The Bone Collector, the first in a series featuring Lincoln Rhymes, we are introduced to probably one of the best criminalist minds that have ever been written about. Perhaps it's because the main character, Lincoln Rhymes, does not have the day to day trivialities that cloud up one's mind on a daily basis. Rhymes is a quadriplegic and can only move one finger. He is a former NYPD criminologist whose spine was severely injured while working a crime scene. Now he is confined to his townhouse apartment in Manhattan where, with the help of some state of the art electronics and equipment, he is still able to help the NYPD solve some gruesome crimes.
So glad I decided to read this as it's so much better than the film, which I also liked. Although I will always picture Lincoln Rhyme as Denzel Washington! :)
