- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The least likely suspect, the unreliable narrator, the mind-bendingly unexpected plot twist. Go ahead. Think you know where the story's going. You'll be wrong every time. Contains some language.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I greatly enjoyed this collection of short stories featuring twisted people in stories with excellent plot twists. Everytime I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was wrong. This was my first time reading anything by this author, although I had heard of him before. Some of the highlights for me were:*A beautiful woman goes to extreme lengths to rid herself of a stalker.* A former nerd, now an adult, gets revenge on his former tormentors. *A father's fishing trip turns deadly and the absolute best story features detective Lincoln Rhyme in a Christmas themed disappearance.I am looking forward to reading the Bone Collector and I will be reading the rest of the Lincoln Rhyme series in the near future.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5These stories reminded me of those published in the old Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Each story was worth reading, but with about three notable exceptions, they were nothing special.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great collection of short stories with the twist at the end.In most of the stories Deaver has been able to surprise you with unexpected endings.
