Love Greg Iles stories.
Incredible character development. Attention to detail makes the reader feel as if they are there. Could not put it down!
This was my first book by Greg Iles. I am reading a newer book by him now. I grew up during the 60’s, and spend some in the South. I saw many of the “scenes” from this book, as I travelled through the southern states.
So sad that it could actually have happened. . .or did it?
Greg Iles’ characters and plots drew me in from the first page. I don’t pass his books along…I only loan them out so I know they’re always coming back home to me.
I adore Greg Iles’ work. His wonderfully multi-dimensional characters and the cultural authenticity of his settings make every one of his books a treasure.
I’ve read several Greg Iles books and have liked most of them. This is my first Penn Cage novel, and it was a fun book to read. The characters are interesting, and the story combines crime, investigation, and courtroom motifs effectively. Don’t read this if you are expecting anything realistic…the pieces fall into place far too easily for that…but pick it up if you want to be entertained. It’s worth a few hours of your time.
First book of Iles I ever read. Now have 4! Excellent author who knows the South and has a knack for putting it to page. Highly recommend.
I love, love, love Greg Iles & will read anything he writes. Penn Cage is an intriguing character. This book is not quite as exciting & involved as some of Iles’ other books, but still a great read.
Love anything he writes especially his series around the Bone Tree
Read the whole series – great story’s!
The first Penn Cage mystery. An excellent southern mystery. Iles is an excellent story teller and this is one of his best.
One of the best books you will ever read!! Once you start you will not be able to put it down! Terrific read!
