Our view
“The Coffin Dancer” is a twisting, forensics-driven thriller that brings back Jeffery Deaver’s quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme. The investigation is meticulous, the action brisk, and the solution stays out of reach until a late twist. Some readers feel too many pages go to aircraft and flying. Readers who like weighing the evidence alongside the detective will enjoy it most.
