I recently found this "older" Deaver novel I had somehow overlooked. It is every bit what I have come to expect and love from a Deaver novel. Simply put, the man is a master storyteller. Even by now, after reading most (13?) of his books, and knowing there are plot twists and turns . . . and knowing my head is going to get messed with . . . and knowing I would love to FOR ONCE actually get the twists right . . . I still can't. I still wind up surprised by the fifty different ways the story takes you before the end. Some people call that whiplash; I call it the cure for predictable by-the-numbers thrillers.
The plot does not need repeating here, but this does: read this book. I recommend this, and the other Deaver novels, without hesitation.

This is an old Deaver, copyright in 1994. Lincoln Rhyme was probably walking on both legs then, so he doesn't show up in this exciting novel.
Nonetheless, you can tell this is Deaver's work, because the plot races forward and you can never guess what is going to happen next. With Deaver, you never know what's what until you finish. You're sure to enjoy this one.

Brace yourself. You are going to become hunter and prey to such an extent that you will feel compassion for both. Jeffery Deaver seeps up through the floorboards of imagination and creeps into our subconscious strata in this "Look over your shoulder and under the bed" thriller.

I read the other review about this book. I dont understand how reader enjoy the book. its boring, many twisted plots is unnessery, the end is little surpising but not convincing at all.
I read the book 10 days and I just wait to see where the book will become interesting- its not happen. I never feel so boring in reading a book. This is my second book of deaver. I read the vanished man and I very enjoy but this book was inferior.
Maybe one thing in the book was enjoyable and this is the descriptions of Deaver- like the description of the childhood of
Hrubek and of Lis- this was touching and maybe this give me the fews moments of enjoy in the book.

I recently reread an out-of-print edition of Praying for Sleep that I very first read in 1999. I had noticed it on my book shelf at a time when I had nothing new to read and realized I had completely forgotten the plot. So I reread it and enjoyed it immensely. There are lots of plot twists, as is usual with Deaver, and I found Deaver's look into the mind of a schizophrenic personality to be fascinating. Even the second time around, moreover, I was completely surprised by Deaver's ending. I suppose that doesn't say much for my long-term memory, but I think it says a lot for Deaver's book.
