I really enjoyed The Bone Collector, so I wasn't sure if this book would live up to my expectations. Jeffery Deaver probably figured that most fans would feel that way, because The Coffin Dancer started off with a bang. The best part was Stephan Kall and his psychological warfare with himself. The worst part was Amelia and Lincoln's romance, with Amelia acting bada** as a cop and so whiny around Lincoln. Deaver is a man, so I give him some allowance for writing Amelia that way. Hopefully she'll get better as I read more Lincoln Rhyme mysteries. Loved the twists and turns; this novel is an easy read that'll keep you guessing.
