This one took awhile to really grab my interest, but it ended up being really good. I'm glad I stuck with it.
fast-paced
Not his best - some massive gaps at the story start, but then this leads to a brilliant twisty ending of classic Deaverishness.
I liked the "case" part of the story involving illegal immigrants, human smuggling and an overall VERY. BAD. GUY.
I think perhaps the image of Chinese-Americans is somewhat inaccurate and a few characters seems to be too stereo-typical for my tastes. It's clear the author did some research and tries to impart that research - but it comes of as stuffy and like a lecture.
The developing relationship with Sachs and Rhymes seems forced as well.

I’m determined to catch up with myself and get this series read. That kind of makes it sound like an arduous task but it’s really not, I am still really enjoying some Lincoln Rhyme so it was a pleasure to listen to The Stone Monkey.

In The Stone Monkey, Lincoln and Amelia are tasked with tracking down 'The Ghost', a snakehead trying to kill the illegal immigrants who were aboard his ship.
For me, this fourth Lincoln Rhyme thriller was a well told, interesting and gripping installment in the series, and I especially enjoyed the development in Lincoln and Amelia's relationship.
This is only behind The Vanished Man and The Bone Collector for me, it kept me hooked and although I had an inkling about the perp, I certainly did not work out the ending, it still had me shocked!
Definitely give this one a go, the relationship aspect along with the introductions of some really likeable characters, who you feel for, plus the final twists and turns makes it a really really entertaining read.
