I stumbled across this book and must say it is one of the best books I have ever read. Many of the characters were relatable, and their events significantly impacted me. Lincoln Rhyme is a strong person, regardless of his current condition, and his mental capabilities are the factor for his success as an investigator. It was admirable even how he came to some conclusions from the little evidence they found on the case. When he was under pressure and the situation seemed bad Rhyme still had the steadfastness to make the decisions. For me, the character who made the most powerful impression on me was Amelia Sachs. Her mentality and intuition are something that not every person has. The way she sticks to her mind and fights for what she thinks is right can be described as a strength and a powerful sense of morality.
