From Booklist
Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic criminalist, returns for a new round of crime busting. Rhyme, who has starred in a handful of very good novels, is one of the mystery genre's most interesting and out-of-the-ordinary series leads, a brilliant investigator who rarely leaves his specially equipped home. He's partnered (personally and professionally) with Amelia Sachs, a former fashion model and first-rate detective. Here, while assisting Rhyme in tracking down a sadistic serial killer who calls himself the Watchmaker, Sachs is also running her own murder investigation, her first as lead detective. Fans of the series will welcome the chance to see Sachs spread her wings, and spending time with the likably crusty Rhyme is always a delight. As always, Deaver's dialogue is exceptionally realistic, and his plotting is devilishly intricate. Recommended for fans of the Rhyme novels (naturally) and readers who like their thrillers laced with wit and sharp characterizations. David Pitt

Kurzbeschreibung
On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer’s calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims’ last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence—and Rhyme can’t afford to have his trusted partner, Amelia Sachs, distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself. . . .

There have been great and not so great books in the Lincoln-Rhyme series. My favorite used to be "The Bone Collector", but the seventh installment in this series - "The Cold Moon" - is equally great:
Amelia Sachs has her first homicide case as a lead detective, which she is reluctant to give up in order to assist Rhyme and his team with the latest serial killer investigation fulltime: A killer, calling himself the Watchmaker, is on the rampage in NYC. He seems to have picked his victims randomly and leaves taunting clues for the police. The Watchmaker is deadly brilliant and just as meticulous as Rhyme. Rhyme's case, difficult as it was from the get-go, gets even more complicated due to facts emerging during Amelia's investigation...
Although Rhyme only believes in hard evidence, a kinesics expert, who happens to be in town, is called upon to consult on the Watchmaker case. Do you happen to know about kinesics? I didn't until I read "The Cold Moon". Kinesics - roughly put - is the interpretation of body language. A fascinating addition to Rhyme's hard-facts-team.
Characters from previous Rhyme novels are being re-introduced as well as new characters added, which could be of interest for Rhyme novels yet to come. Sachs's personal life also plays an important role in this one, which made it even more interesting for me.
Although a few twists less wouldn't have done any harm and the consulting expert was nearly too darn good at it , I just went along with the flow (the twists that is ;-)) and could not put "The Cold Moon" down - even though the twists & their outcomes during the last 80 pages were a bit too convenient for my liking.
Result: Despite of my minor complaints "The Cold Moon" is a terrific page-turner! If you are a fan of the Rhyme-/Sachs series do not wait for the paperback. Indulge yourselves in a HC. It is most definitely worth it!

Being a fan and faithful follower of the Lyncoln Rhyme novels, I couldn't wait to start on "The Cold Moon". Although the book started promisingly, it then became more and more 'unbelievable' in its twists and turns. I usually enjoy and appreciate Jeffery Deaver's style of sudden twists in the plot, keeping you thinking that you are close to working things out and then suddenly making you realize that you followed down the wrong road of conclusions entirely. This time, however, there was simply too much of this. After a while, I just kept thinking "yeah, yeah, OK, another red herring...and another one.... and another one." And though I basically like the new character of Kathryn Dance - boy, who'd need a lie detector when she is around...?! I appreciate all the kinesics theories, but it simply got too much in the end, too unrealistic.
Also, I know Mr. Deaver likes to educate his readers along with his story, but the tone eventually got too "schoolmaster-ish", especially on the subject of kinesics.
All in all, a nice read, and interesting installment in the Rhyme/Sachs saga (and Amelia Sachs' storyline is by far the best in the entire book!), but certainly not one of JD's best.

You may know a little bit about lunar calendars and the names associated with the full moons therein like the Harvest Moon, the Hunter's Moon, the Green Corn Moon, the Sprouting Grass Moon etc. Well the Full Moon closest to the Winter Solstice is called the Cold Moon. That works well in the northern hemisphere which is convenient since this book is set in New York City which is currently located in that hemisphere. Many people seem to think that the Cold Moon is the moon of death. That also works well with this book since murder is the apparent main theme of this tale.
This is a real page turner with multiple plot twists which I will not tell you about since that is the fun part of reading this book!! If you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterful novel--The Fates, I'd highly recommend reading it. Truly an enjoyable read!

A huge adrenalin shot of a book!!
After reading the rather lacklustre "Twelfth Card", this was what I needed! "The Cold Moon" is a real adrenalin shot of a thriller that confuses you no end. Lesen Sie weiter...

One plot would have sufficed
This is another great novel of the Lincoln Rhyme series, no doubt about it. It's brilliantly written and thought through as usual, however, there are just too many different plots. Lesen Sie weiter...
