Jean L (USA: KS) (2009/11/28):
I loved this book. It is a wonderfully suspenseful read and really goes quickly. It is #8 of the Lincoln Rhyme series but there should be no problem if you have not read the others. Before I read this one, I had read only the first in the series. I intend to read the others now.
Marianne (Australia) (2011/05/13):
The Broken Window is the eighth of Jeffrey Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme series. The tale begins with a plea from Judy Rhyme to help her husband, Arthur Rhyme, Lincoln’s estranged cousin, who has been arrested on a murder charge. Flawless evidence against him leads Rhyme and Sachs to suspect a set-up, and the discovery of previous similar frame-ups. Investigation directs them to Strategic Systems Datacorp, a data-mining company with incredible reach and power. In this novel, Deaver neatly demonstrates just how reliant individuals and corporations are on data and what can happen when the security of those holding the data is breached. The potential for good, in the form of crime fighting and education, and real possibility of harm, in the form of identity theft and terrorism, are made very clear. A very topical subject that will have everyone checking their passwords and online accounts. And plenty of twists and turns, the Deaver trademark, before the villain is finally identified. We are also treated to a bit of Lincoln’s history, and Ron Pulaski’s character fills out. Looking forward to the next Rhyme instalment.
