This is the first Jeffery Deaver book I have read, and I appreciate that he can write a mystery thriller with very little profanity. The Twelfth Card has enought twists and curves to keep you thinking but so much that you cannot follow. I would recommend this to mystery readers. I would give this a rating of 7 out of 10, good book.   posted Jun 15, 2006 at 7:44AM
