Once I started reading I didn’t want to put it down.
Enjoyed it, one of a number about Nachez and Tennessee
I read this book a few years ago. I love all Greg isles book.
G. Iles is a master at telling a story. His words pull you into the action via realistic yet vivid description. I love all his fiction and this is one of his best.
Iles is an intelligent, thoughtful writer, shining light on the best and the worst of the New South while honoring the legacy left by the ghosts of the Old South.
I couldn’t resist reading Penn Cage #1 well after reading Iles’ Natchez Burning trilogy. The characters are so well developed you cannot put an Iles novel down
Great legal/crime thriller with a believably imperfect main character and just enough legalese to enjoy but not so much to get preachy or boring. Very good story, interesting twist.
A great book which will definitely keep you interested. Greg Iles’ books always draw you in to the story and hold you there until the end.
The Penn Cage series by Greg Iles is a well-written and suspense filled series. While I recommend this series to all, it was difficult, at times, to read because of the hatred & bigotry (not on the part of the main character) of small town Mississippi, even in modern times. The main characters are ethical & moral people.
the best Greg Iles book that i have read by him
Greg Iles writes in the Southern tradition of Faulkner and Grisham so his characters are diverse and multidimensional. The plot was interesting and as convoluted as most Southern tales of race, power, and tragedy, but Iles is a deft storyteller, leaving you wanting to know more about the people, the town, and ultimately the ending of a 20-year romance between a once idealistic boy and girl.
Good stuff!
