DESCRIPTION:
Jeffery Deaver’s New York Times bestseller, The Bodies Left Behind , is now available from Encore and will coincide with the hardcover and audio of Deaver’s latest thriller, Edge .A call to the police from a vacation house on the isolated Lake Mondac is cut short. Was it a phone glitch or something worse? Off-duty police deputy Brynn McKenzie leaves her family at the dinner table to investigate—and walks right into a nightmare when she stumbles upon the scene of an atrocious, gruesome murder. Brynn realizes that the perpetrator hasn’t left the crime scene yet, but it’s already too late to call for backup—dense woods surround the house, and there is nowhere for her to run but into the hostile
From the opening scene (that'll keep even the bravest of you at home with the doors locked and the shades drawn), Deaver delivers a clever page-turner that reads like one of his tightly plotted and fast-paced short stories (fans should check out Twisted). Best of the Month, November 2008: Nothing is as it seems in The Bodies Left Behind, Jeffrey Deaver's quintessential can't-put-it-down thriller about an off-duty cop who investigates an aborted 911 call from a secluded vacation home and ends up on the run. Endlessly surprising (there is more than one jaw-dropping plot twist) and supremely gripping (two hours after cracking this stand-alone thriller, I came up for air and took a moment to shake the cramp out of my fingers), The Bodies Left Behind is one of the most entertaining thrillers of the year. --Daphne Durham
What a disappointment. Jim Horn What a disappointment. Having read the author's earlier books I had high expectations and it started out suspenseful, but then it gets bogged down in one narrow escape after another, a seemingly endless series of climaxes that never climax. It seems as if he is trying to imitate the superb works of John Sandford in rural Minnesota, changing the scene to rural Wisconsin, but unable to make the reader believe any of this is possible. Imagine two women running for their lives and they stop to discuss their marit. Terrible! Sally I cannot believe this was written by Jeffrey Deaver, the same man who wrote the Lincoln Rhyme series and my favorite book of all time "A Maidens Grave". This was a huge disappointment! I did make it through this boring read, with its cardboard characters and predictable plot. I just had to force myself, it was horrible I'm sorry, Jeffrey blah! The master of plot twists really bombed here.. Unrealistic twists galore! Dave Schwinghammer When Deputy Brynn McKenzie answers a 911 call at a remote house near Lake Mondac in northern Wisconsin, she finds a double homicide. She is also confronted with the murderers who are still there, and along with a Michelle, a house guest who manages to elude the killers, she finds herself in a race for survival.Deaver fans know what to expect. He/she will experience dozens of twists and turns and nothing is as it seems. Deaver will backtrack toward the end, explaining most of his seemingly unrealistic twists.
