While still written well, it's just not his best work.

Boneman's Daughters starts off great, has a sub par middle but a killer finale. I think Ted works well with single people as his characters. Though I do give him credit for trying to make a realistic family drama but it was just kind of boring to read. The beginning, with our main character being kidnapped by terrorists and his imprisionment with them was really well written and gave us some set up as to what the "serial killer of the week's" method of killing is. (Boneman breaks bones. Duh!) The middle half of the book is just kind of boring as it deals with family troubles and the eventual ostracizing the family does to the main character. The last half of this book is pretty much what you read on the inside cover blurb. It is vintage Dekker. He gets us into the mind of the killer as he usually does and always makes the confrontations between the main character and the killer as great as always. (Albit not as terrifying as some of his earlier works like Thr3E or Adam.) But with all of it's misses it's still an enjoyable book that people should definatley read.
