Synopsis:
Two men of words... One seeking only peace. The other, violence. Tate Collier, once one of the country's finest trial lawyers, is trying to forget his past. Now a divorced gentleman farmer, land developer, and community advocate in rural Virginia, he's regrouping from some disastrous mistakes in the realms of love and the law. But controversy -- and danger -- seem to have an unerring hold on Tate. Even as he struggles to rebuild his life, his alter ego is plotting his demise. Aaron Matthews, a brilliant psychologist, has turned his talents away from curing patients to far deadlier goals. He's targeted Tate, Tate's ex-wife, Bett, and their estranged daughter, Megan, for unspeakable revenge. Matthews, ruthless and hell-bent, will destroy anything that inhibits his plans. When their daughter disappears, Tate and Bett reunite in a desperate, heart-pounding attempt to find her and to stop Matthews, a psychopath whose gift of a glib tongue and talent for coercion are as dangerous as knives and guns. Featuring an urgent race against the clock, gripping details of psychological manipulation, and the brilliant twists and turns that are trademark Deaver, Speaking in Tongues delivers the suspense punch that has made this author a bestseller. It will leave you speechless.

Thanks so much for sending it LastEdition and for 5Schwammerl for reserving the book!!!

The actual storyline of this thriller is in fact quite interesting. The idea of the talented rhetoriticians using their skills to manipulate people around them is clever. However, the writing is so poor, and the characterization is terrible. The usual twists and turns kept me reading but it is no match for his Lincoln Rhyme series. But I won't be too hard on this books as it seems to be one of his earlier works ...

Getting the offer to snatch a Deaver I could not resist, although my plan is to avoid any new TBRs on my bookshelf... Thanks Rianonne for the offer!

I have to agree with Rianonne that the characters are rather flat and non-descriptive. The story itself however is a nice plot and well thought through. Some of the turns were to be expected (as an experienced Deaver-Reader) while others were a very good invention!

Somethings I did not believe were the facts *** ATTENTION SPOILER! *** that Tate is not Megan's father. If this is true, he was too involved in the kidnapping and getting the girl back. Besides that, Josh's resurrection was very far-fetched.

Nevertheless, I like to read a Deaver and therefore it was OK.
