The narrator saved the author’s butt. Julia Whelan, always outstanding.

Though I’m sure there was a solid storyline here, it was overwhelmed by the over-the-top DRAMA the female lead spends 3/4 of the book arguing with herself and the male lead. It wore me out.

I found this book by simply going down the list of books she narrates & even though the story line didn't immediately grab be I knew she would make it work. This story might have been a little work too, a little mundane but again, the way it's absurdity mixed with (yes, some people must live this way,) is delivered totally pulls it off.

This book started out great, lots of characters with as many story lines & I guess not enough time to fully developed them all. I was disappointed.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

If I was the author, sure. The book begins with what should have been a huge event in a Lincoln Rhyme novel. He's been bound to a wheelchair his entire career in every book in his series. He's off to get the "big operation" that could repair him, or kill him. Soon, too soon, Amelia Sachs has him lured into a murder mystery that isn't very clear. I can't even tell you much more beause I got bored with it.

If you???ve listened to books by Jeffery Deaver before, how does this one compare?

I've never, ever not finished a Jeffrey Deaver book. this one didn't hold my interest at all.

Which scene was your favorite?

Well.....I guess I didn't get far enough o have a favorite scene.

Could you see The Empty Chair being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Funny, I've thought of this before. I'm not exactly referring to this book though. I thought Anjolina Jolie, who starred in "The Bone Collecter" was good at a role she often plays anyway. But in Deaver's books, Amelia Sachs is a beautiful, brave but compassionate detective. Julienne Moore fits that description far beter than A.J.

To play Lincoln, hmmm, very hard to get "Ironsides" out of my mind when I read about him; his nature, sterness, dry sense of humor.....There's an actor named Paul Grose who I can see playing that part well.

Any additional comments?

I'm not abandoning Jeffrey, this one just didn't make the grade, in my mind & I've read many, many of his novels. I was hoping to get to review another book, ANY other book, that I could have given good reviews about! Sorry.
