The Kill Room: Lincoln Rhyme, Book 10

I try to be fair about Jeffrey Deaver but really, the last couple of books have felt like he was just 'phoning it in'. This book is fairly pedestrian but the performance is absolutely spectacular. Kerry Shale thoroughly enlivens proceedings with a huge range of voices and accents giving the whole story a gloss it perhaps doesn't entirely deserve. There are good books which don't really work as audiobooks, and some not so good books which work marvellously well as audiobooks. Frankly, Kerry Shale could make the telephone book sound interesting so I'm recommending 'The Kill Room' on the basis of this alone.

Off to search for books with Kerry Shale as reader.

As always the Lincoln Rhyme stories are great and I wanted to listen cover to cover. My only negative is the narrator. I've listened to most of the other Rhyme series and this voice was so so off putting. I'm about to start the next book, but if it's the same voice I will start something else as I don't think I could listen to more than the 4hrs I have already had of his voice!
Sorry!

Takes a little while to get into the Book at the start but it was a good book

Another classic from Jeffery deaver brilliantly read by Kerry Shale. What an exciting story line. Never a dull moment. If you enjoy a thriller, then this one's a must! 5 stars all the way. It's a cracker!

A very good Lincoln Rhyme story. one of my favourites. highly recommended. A good narrator.

Ok...loved the series but not the best story and if you've read the others it's bracing a little predictable. However still better than the vast majority of thrillers

Long way not the worst bit of a routine ending think the characters need an input of fresh characters or location

(Spoilers!)


Not the usual twisting turning roller coaster I expect from Deaver, but a great story nonetheless.

Narrator was a bit irritating with his OTT accents which didn't seem to fit, but I got used to him ;)

Over all the story is very good perhaps a little long. I don't want to spoil the end so I'll say no more

For some reason I missed this book and listened to The Skin Collector first but it didn't seem to make any difference.
This is an interesting, well constructed story and one in which Rhyme actually travels to one of the foreign locations - a good listen and if, like me, you've enjoyed the previous books then you'll like this one too.
