Summary

The 10th novel in the critically acclaimed Lincoln Rhyme series, from number-one best-selling author Jeffery Deaver.

They are calling it the 'million-dollar bullet': a sniper shot from a near-impossible distance. But there is no crime-scene investigation, no evidence, and no co-operation from the local Bahamian police. Ambitious New York district attorney Nance Laurel won't let it go. This murder has all the hallmarks of a contract killing, and she has evidence that the order came from the highest levels of the US government.

Putting her career on the line, she calls in independent investigators: Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. No strangers to controversy, their reputation for seeing what others miss is unparalleled, and she knows they will risk everything - even their lives - to seek the truth.

Critic reviews

"Jeffery Deaver is something of a summer tradition for thriller fans, and a Lincoln Rhyme novel makes for a bumper year.... Deaver's pacy prose is addictive enough to result in dreadful sunburn if read on the beach, so approach with caution." ( Independent on Sunday)

Quality Deaver

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes 14 hours of quality narration that brings the story to life

What other book might you compare The Kill Room to, and why?

The Doll Maker

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The Government Official and his anger management issues.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No it's a story that you look forward to coming back to when the opportunity arises.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy Deaver you will not be disappointed. His best known character Lincoln Rhyme does what he does best with a thrilling deduction. Sherlock homes using modern day techniques.

Could’ve been 5*

Would have given it 5 stars but the narrator was bad, why they changed from the usual one from the other Lincoln rhyme books I’ve listened to I don’t know

Another great story from Deaver

(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 ;)

Great Story, Didn't like new narrator.

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!

Not the best but by....

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

Confusing!

Alas, because the reader can’t see the actual book if one cannot read the words this book is confusing! There’re words I needed to find the meaning of these words!!!

Gruesome

I found this book very gruesome, it’s certainly not one of my favourite Jeffrey Deaver books.
