This book has "ticking-bomb suspense" but has many light moments, too. It seems, to me, to be completely different from Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series. This is the first of a 3 book series, which features Rune, an aspiring filmmaker with punk tendencies, in New York City. She gets caught up in a dangerous adventure more chilling than anything Hollywood could dream up. She is a good investigator and ends up solving the crime and is a witness for the prosecution.
I thought it was a fun book even though it is a murder mystery.
