Thrilling recollection of mayor and reporter trying to right the wrongs!

Great Trilogy

Great trilogy! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I wish I knew this was the fourth book in the Penn Cage series before starting but, it was great either way. I look forward to reading the other Penn Cage novels next

This trilogy was a really long read. On my kindle it was 2800 pages plus. I liked the storyline. But the total of the three books could have been about 500 pages shorter. Natchez Burning was a fast paced book. The Bone Tree slowed down quite a bit. And Mississippi Blood dragged on and on. The problem for me was the author felt the need to explain every character's thought process and reason for doing things. Including their individual past. These parts of the story did nothing to add to the story and dragged on way to much. Especially in Mississippi Blood. By the time I got halfway thru Mississippi Blood, I couldn't wait to finish. But the author found ways to drag the story on and on. These extra explanations were unnecessary and added nothing to the story. I almost stopped reading at several points in the story. I found myself saying to myself " please just get on with the story." I managed to skip over these slow parts and was able to slog through the rest of the story. Since I couldn't give it 3 1/2, it went to a 4. I like Greg Iles in general as an author, but this trilogy was overdone. It was like he was getting paid by the word.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

Good story. But too long. Redundant twists and turns. This trilogy could be one book. A really good book. Strengthen the characters. Focus on one plot. Build the excitement and write one ending with a big bang.

[Ruth Elizabeth Nuckols Cox Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A riveting southern tale with murder, mystery, and action.

[Gary Grimes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book that explains how all this began. No real surprises but it is a good entertaining suspense thriller read.

[Autumn Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was an intense trilogy. Raw, brutal, and beautiful - full of sensitive subjects, but very well written.

[Janet Brandenburg · Rating 5 out of 5]

So intense and engaging...one of the best thrills I have ever read! Greg Iles brings a riveting, thrilling, and unforgettable lesson!

Best of stories.

Intricate and complex plot. Expertly delivered. You can hardly put it down as the story unfolds. Fast paced and makes you regret that it comes to a close.
