The Cold Moon - Jeffrey Deaver

So, I've already finished two more books since my last post, but must admit that I am feeling a tad lazy...it's been a long year, I guess!

I am new to Jeffrey Deaver as an author barring his participation in the Chopin Manuscript, an audio book that was co-authored by Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, David Hewson, James Grady, S. J. Rozan, Erica Spindler, John Ramsey Miller, David Corbett, John Gilstrap, Joseph Finder, Jim Fusilli, Peter Spiegelman, Ralph Pezzullo, Lisa Scottoline and P. J. Parrish.
The Chopin Manuscript: A Serial Thriller

After listening, yes I am an Audiophile, to the first couple of chapters I realised that I was familiar with these characters. A couple of years ago I saw the movie 'The Bone Collector' and it dawned on me that this is where I knew these characters from.

Well, Cold Moon is one of those stories that continually adds new twists. I enjoyed the reading and found myself doing strong comparisons between the movie characters mentioned before and the visualisations of the characters that were developing in this book. As I read more, I realise that movies are not even half as enjoyable and meaningful as a book.
The story revolves around a serial killer - The Watchmaker - who is supposedly killing random victims and leaving tell tale signs at each scene. As the story progresses, the twists emerge and head toward a climatic ending....except for the fact that good old Mr Deaver leaves room for the next episode in this saga.
Personally I don't mind follow on books, but I know that a lot of people want the story completed ion one sitting.
Anyway, a good story and a great read!

Get the book!
