A Textbook Case (Lincoln Rhyme Short Story) by Jeffery Deaver
I couldn't resist a Lincoln Rhyme story - even though it is a short story (even though I don't usually like short stories) and that I had to pay for a kindle copy (usually I borrow books from the library... but hey it was just 99 cents).
Well I did finish it and I normally would've skipped short stories. It wasn't a bad read, if I hadn't read the rest of the Lincoln Rhyme series. But I just much, much prefer an actual Lincoln Rhyme novel because if the details and suspense. This short story read more like a Cliff Note version, which just wasn't satisfying for the this Lincoln Rhyme fan. At least the bad guy wasn't super easy to guess.
3 Stars.
Note - I bought the kindle copy

Like you, short stories just don't do it for me. I have tried several. If it is a novella as part of a series I can handle but not a novel full of short stories.
ReplyDeleteI really need to read another, only have read Bone Collector.
I know, I keep wanting to give short stories a go, but it's just not enough.
DeleteI really don't know which one to recommend next! I'd stick to his Lincoln Rhyme series though. The Kathryn Dance series is okay but not as good. I like his other series and stand alone just okay...
