• 637 Pages Of Fast Moving Action 27 May, 2008
When I finished this book, I could not believe that I had gone through 637 pages. The action moved so fast and the writing was so captivating it seemed like the book was half the size it was. Greg Iles gives us a novel with fascinating characters, a great plot and plenty of action. FBI agent Alexandra Morse takes on a murder for hire conspiracy run by a lawyer and a doctor. The title is TRUE EVIL and the lead bad guy is just that. This is one of those rare books that got me hooked right from the start and did not let go. This is an easy one to recommend and I certainly intend to read more by Greg Iles. Great job!!!

• Another Great Read By Greg Iles 05 May, 2008
In his latest thriller, Greg Iles presents an exciting premise and rich, developed characters.
Staying with his penchant for FBI agents, he centers this book around a hostage negotiator for the Bureau, but she is involved in anything but a routine FBI investigation.
This book simply flies by, keeping the reader riveted to see what will happen next.
Of note is the small town and small world feel of Iles' writing. Like Stephen King's works, Iles' stories seem to inhabit the same universe, with the central figures of previous novels making appropriate cameo appearances (or occasionally more substantial participation).
This book is highly recommended.

• How Could Anyone Rate This Less Than Five Stars? 02 June, 2008
I had never read a Greg Iles book, but own several of them thanks to a friend who owns a used bookshop who loaded me up recently with a variety of great mystery and thriller novels. Among them were a few Greg Iles novels, including True Evil. After seeing many glowing reviews I decided to jump in in spite of the fact that I'm not usually a fan of lengthy novels.
The fact is I couldn't get enough of this story. Enough have written about the characters and the plot to give you more than enough information about this story, but I had to put my own feelings into words as this novel flat-out blew me away. What I enjoyed about it most was that it read like a movie and never left you needing to back track if you had to put the novel down for a day or two to tend to everyday life. Everything remains fresh in your mind, as Greg Iles clearly paints the landscape for you and doesn't confuse you with too many twists or characters. I loved that no matter how often I tried to predict the next move, murder, twist, etc., I was ALWAYS wrong.
This is a great book for fans of Harlan Coben, John Sanford, and the like. One of the best page turners I've read in a long while, and I read a lot of books! Highly recommended!

• This Book Has It All 07 June, 2008
I have found books by this writer to be good and Blood Memory was truly special and this book is in the same category. It has a cpmplex story that is very well developed along with characters that have depth and feelings imbued into them. Like a masrer artist, the wroter adds depth, layer upon layer, as the book progresses. The characters are special and the motivations for their actions become clearer and clearer as the book progresses. This is truly a "page turnet" that is special on so many levels. Just when the reader feels that the story has been figured out, the writer is able to deftly throw in a double or triple twist that keeps the reader guessing. This is one of the finest books that I have ever read and credit for this masterful job musr go to the wtiter. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It jumps off the pages like a movie script.

• Seeing What's True 08 June, 2008
It's interesting to spend time with characters who know more than simply how to destroy and how to hurt. True Evil assembles a group of professionals who know a lot and let their knowledge influence how they think and what they notice. Even the "bad guys" use their intelligence and apply their commonsense. Serial killers are so often thought of as damaged in some way, even insane. But when that isn't true, ordinary doubts turn into nightmare fears and normally reasonable distrust drives every thought and feeling to a desperate extreme. Iles doesn't keep you guessing, he keeps you horrified.
