[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good story but the writing's pretty clunky. Lots of satisfying plot twists.

[Jackie Ballantine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A gripping page turner that, despite its relentless twists and turns, terminates satisfactorily. There are a few far fetched curves that threaten to derail its credibility but manage to stay on track. It’s well researched and Iles has ‘penned’ a good read, which I enjoyed all the more having visited Natchez once upon a time.

I always enjoy Greg Iles. I read his trilogy first do it was good to go back to the beginning aid the Penn Cage character.

Bought it while in Cape Town and re-read the stories - enjoyed his writing just as much as the first time. Iles knows how to keep you on the tip of your seat the whole time.

Really good book. Got a little long and a little unbelievable, but I still kept quickly turning the pages. Enjoyable suspense.

This was a real page turner. Although at times verging on sensationalism, it was a good story and an enjoyable summer read.

This book kept you on the edge of your seat. There were plenty of twists and turns. Enjoyable.

Beyond pedestrian. World-weary protagonist (he's a tough prosecutor AND mystery writer who's lost his wife) with adorable daughter returns to small town, where his father is the kindly doctor and mom the kindly matron, complete with loyal African-American retainer. Puh-leeze.
