Writer always does a lot of research for a realistic storyline. Lots of work for this one on electricity and makes you think twice about it's safety.
There are a lot of names. I'm sure a lot of characters could be consolidated and do multiple tasks so you aren't inundated with people every chapter. In my head anyways I think either good or bad and don't bother learning most of them. Then from the very beginning when the first few people are killed I wanted to know who the victims were and Lincoln didn't get to that nor did anyone else for that matter until the very end. I was suspicious about that. With all the charts etc no victims mentioned? Hard to believe for a Lincoln Rhyme story. Even if he was all sick or whatever Sachs has half a brain right? So I was a little disappointed there and sort of knew that was the meat of the story due to it's absence.
Otherwise a great page turner, good puzzle and scary scenarios. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and hard to fall asleep reading it cuz you don't want to stop. Well written, well researched, generally well told. He could have put the victim facts in front of the readers without anyone in the story paying it too much attention and got away with that.
