Strong writing but incredibly racist This is my second Greg Iles book and I enjoyed the writing in both immensely. However, as engaging as they were, both were so rife with racial epithets and offensive stereotypes directed at African Americans that they were sometimes difficult to get through. I understand that Iles is trying to convey the sentiment of whites in the South and that racist views are often an element of said sentiment. But the racism was so glaring and so gratuitous that I cant help but think that Iles was really conveying his own hate-filled beliefs. If this is how most Mississipians think, its a sad testimony.
Could not put it down!!!! Great read! I couldn't put it down. The book is over 600 pages, but it only took me 2 days to finish. I would recommend this book to everyone!Almost perfect As most folks have written, this is one of Iles' best. He has created a villain in Dr. Tarver rivaled only by Hannibal Lecter. I was also one who could not put this book down. The fast pace and plot twists just keep coming. The climactic ending had a great buildup but I just thought the finale was a little too abrupt. I'll leave it at that.
