Summary: Simply Average
Comment: I've read a large number of Deaver's books, from the Lincoln Rhyme series to The Blue Nowhere, The Devil's Teardrop and A Maiden's Grave. As such, I've come to enjoy his work, as well as expect certain things from him. Deaver puts many twists and turns into all of his stories, some expected, some from out of the blue. But throughout, Deaver has kept the going fast-paced. Not so with Speaking in Tongues.
Tate Collier is a former county prosecutor who is still having issues with his ex-wife and estranged daughter. But now, his daughter has run away...or was she kidnapped? Deaver attempts to have the reader travel through his many twists and turns again, but it just doesn't seem to work this time. The villian's ability to manipulate everyone involved in the case merely by reading their eyes and therefore revealing their innermost secrets is a bit far-fetched. The pace of the book was slow compared to his other books, only reaching the traditional Deaver pace with about 60 pages remaining.
Overall, I'd rate this as my least favority of Deaver's work so far. If you have a few days to waste, go ahead. But borrow the book or check it out of the library - don't spend money on it.

Summary: Another feather in the cap of this gifted author. Jeffrey
Comment: Deaver again succeeds in presenting the reader with a taut, well-written, exciting and convoluted novel. The title is well-thought out and apt for the story line.
Tate Collier in his pursuit of a legal career seemingly neglects his wife, Bett and his daughter Megan. When Megan is three Bett and Tate divorce and Tate's contact with his daughter is minimal.
At sixteen, Megan is kidnapped setting off a series of events that will keep you captivated. The adversary and Lawyer Tate, assisted by Bett, are pitted against each other in intigueing circumstances,and with far more intrigueing results. And Megan herself , while imprisoned in a closed hospital, rises to the occasion and in a brave medlay of moves tries to outwit her captor.
The reason for the title of this gripper is slowly but clearly brought to light as we find a battle of words among the principal players. On the cover page, a quote from Henry Miller reads:
"In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor." Amazingly fitting for both the plot and the unraveling of same in encapsulated scenes that will have you holding your breath waiting for the next word.
This is not just a casual read, but an enjoyable, tense novel from one of today's top novelists. Leave yourself time for this one because you will not be able to put it down! The ending is a superb surprise that is not likely to leave your thoughts for some time to come.Good Job, Jeffery and keep those books coming, please!

Summary: Delightfully Twisted!
Comment: "Speaking in Tongues" is the ultimate novel for readers who enjoy a suspsenseful, gripping, thrilling, violent, and intelligent psychological thriller. Jeffery Deaver is a brilliant author, and he brings such raw emotions to his characters. Megan's emotions were well written, and Dr. Aaron Matthews is one of the most brilliant villains, because he understands that words are the most dangerous weapons. This book kept me turning the pages; I couldn't stop reading until it was over. This book is a masterpiece, in my opinion, and I consider it one of the best thrillers I have read. Mr. Deaver, you have done a superb job!!
