THE SKIN COLLECTOR Lincoln Rhyme, Book 11

Lincoln Rhyme, Deaver's quadriplegic detective, returns to track down a killer with a fascination for skin. Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini, this audiobook has all the twists and surprises typical of the series, and Ballerini carries listeners from start to finish, maintaining a steady pace. The core cast, both the familiar lead characters and the new ones, are brought masterfully to life through subtle and effective portrayals. Character differentiation helps the listener follow the dialogue and keep on track with the plot as it weaves its intricate path. Ballerini draws out the tension, giving fuel to the listener's imagination. His seemingly effortless delivery is ideally suited to a story that centers on a highly introverted hero.
