Pressestimmen
'This is a novel that will chill your blood on the warmest day of any summer holiday. Keep looking over your shoulder...' -- Independent on Sunday 'The best psychological thriller writer around' -- The Times 'Jeffery Deaver is a master at crafting intricate crimes that are solved through guile, tenacity and sheer creative genius.' -- Harlan Coben 'There's no question ... about Deaver's unexcelled ability to pull the wool over your eyes. When he describes a colorless, odorless glass of liquid as water, don't assume it is until somebody drinks it down - or maybe till an hour later.' -- Kirkus Reviews on THE TWELFTH CARD 'The most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world ... [Deaver] has produced a stunning series of bestsellers with unique characterisation, intelligent characters, beguiling plots and double-barrelled and sometimes triple-barrelled solutions.' -- Daily Telegraph
Kurzbeschreibung
Vor acht Jahren löschte der hochintelligente Psychopath Daniel Pell auf einen Streich eine ganze Familie aus - zumindest beinahe: Allein die neunjährige Tochter überlebte diese schreckliche Nacht. Doch nun ist Pell die Flucht aus dem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis gelungen. Und nur Kathryn Dance kann jetzt noch verhindern, dass der Mörder sein Versäumnis von damals wettmacht. Doch dafür muss die geniale Verhörspezialistin und Menschenleserin ganz tief in Daniel Pells Psyche eintauchen - ein Höllentrip, von dem es vielleicht keine Wiederkehr für sie gibt...

Format:Taschenbuch
"The Sleeping Doll" features Kinesics expert & CBI agent Kathryn Dance, who has been introduced in Deaver's latest Lincoln-Rhyme novel The Cold Moon: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel (Lincoln Rhyme Novels). She helped Rhyme and his team to catch the Clockmaker. Although Dance consults Rhyme for a forensic analysis once, "The Sleeping Doll" seems to be Dance's debut in her own series:
Daniel Pell was the leader of some kind of cult, living together with three females and another man as a "Family". He has been convicted and incarcerated eight years ago for the brutal murder of the Croyton family - a family of four. The then prosecuting DA dubbed him "The Son of Manson" due to the similarity in lifestyle and crime. Kathryn has to interrogate Pell because of an unsolved murder predating the Croyton-family murders, which he might be responsible for. After the interrogation at a courthouse Pell escapes, goes into hiding and on a killing spree. Dance enlists the help of the three women who were members of the "Family" to catch Pell before he gets even with those people who have wronged him in his eyes. She also manages to enlist the one surviving person of the brutal murder: Theresa Croyton, now 17 years old. Theresa survived the murder because the was asleep in her bed and covered by her stuffed toys - the press called her "The Sleeping Doll".....
Kathryn Dance is a very likeable, intelligent protagonist, surrounded by an agreeable cast of subsidiary characters. She has a lot of other things on her plate besides catching Pell: Still missing her late husband who died in a car accident, two teenaged kids opposing her dating other men, a new boss who mainly thinks about covering his ass and last but not least keeping her family safe from Pell.
The pacing is fast as usual and the story is told from Dance's as well as from Pell's point of view, which makes it very interesting to follow their line of thinking. However, Deaver the master of twists and turns, has outmaneuvered himself a bit this time. There are too many twists and turns so that the whole chase seems rather unlikely at times.
Am looking forward to read more books featuring Kathryn Dance - maybe with a few twists and turns less;-)!

Format:Taschenbuch
"The Sleeping Doll" hat erfrischenderweise nicht mehr das ausgelutschte Duo Rhyme/Sachs im Zentrum, sondern die unverbrauchte Kathryn Dance. Als dem hochintelligenten, mehrfachen Mörder Pell die Flucht aus dem Gefängnis glückt, muss die Verhaltensspezialistin Kathryn eine Reise in Pells Vergangenheit antreten und die diversen Frauen seiner Kommune aufsuchen, aber auch das einzige Opfer, das mit dem Leben davonkam...
Die Handlung ist erst mal spannend und überzeugend. Pell scheint ständig Kathryn eine Nasenlänge voraus zu sein, und seine Wirkung auf Frauen kommt glaubhaft rüber. Im letzten Viertel des Romans nimmt die Handlung dann eine unerwartete Wendung nach der anderen, und ab da wird die Überkonstruiertheit der Handlung offenbar. Die allerletzte Wendung schließlich schießt an Unglaubwürdigkeit wirklich den Vogel ab, was die Schilderungen von Pells Persönlichkeit, Cleverness und Vergangenheit während der vorangegangenen 550 Seiten betrifft, und entwertet den ganzen Roman im Nachhinein. Mit weniger Überraschungseffekten wäre der Krimi wirklich besser gewesen!
Mir gefällt auch Deavers lehrbuchhafte Darstellung von Kriminalpsychologie nicht. Es schien mir so, als hätte Deaver hier ein Lehrbuch gelesen, das er dann als Origami-Anleitung zur Entschlüsselung komplizierter Verhaltensweisen in den Krimi eingebastelt hat. Das wirkt nicht natürlich beim Lesen, sondern lehrmeisterhaft, und mich hat das An-der-Hand-Nehmen durch den Autor angenervt.
2 Sterne. Schade.

I read this novel twice. And after half a year couldn't remember what it is about. While reading it is ok, lets say entertaining. But Deaver wrote much better novels. Lesen Sie weiter...
