About this listen

The "master of ticking-bomb suspense" (People) Jeffery Deaver delivers the latest thriller featuring his beloved protagonists Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs as they search for a criminal whose fascination with breaking locks terrorizes New York City.

A woman awakes in the morning to find that someone has picked her apartment’s supposedly impregnable door lock and rearranged personal items, even sitting beside her while she slept. The intrusion, the police learn, is a message to the entire city of carnage to come. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are brought in to investigate and soon learn that the sociopathic intruder, who calls himself "the Locksmith”, can break through any lock or security system ever devised. With more victims on the horizon, Rhyme, Sachs and their stable of associates must follow the evidence to the man’s lair...and discover his true mission.

Their hunt is interrupted when an internal investigation in the police force uncovers what seems to be a crucial mistake in one of Rhyme's previous cases. He’s fired as a consultant for the NYPD and must risk jail if he investigates the Locksmith case in secret.

The Midnight Lock is a roller-coaster listen that takes place over just a few days’ time, features surprise after surprise and offers a fascinating look at the esoteric world of lockpicking.

I love the narrator of this series and this edition doesn’t disappoint. The ending got a bit convoluted, like the author tried to cram too much into one chapter. Overall worth the credit!

Solid experience

I really like Lyle Spencer, the newest character to come on the team. I look forward to seeing more of him in future books.

Twists and Unexpected Turns

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Great story. It was sometimes difficult to keep the characters straight though. Also the narrator has some difficulty with assigning different tones for the characters., they tend to sound the same and this also causes confusion in keeping the characters identified correctly.

Always enjoy Jeffery Deaver
