As with many other reviewers I find this book hard to rate due to the disturbing content. I am giving it the same rating I gave Natchez Burning, but my feelings about the two books are very different. Natchez Burning lost a star because after starting as a compelling civil rights mystery/family d...
When I discovered that Greg Iles Natchez Burning was appearing on several To read lists, I decided to read the other books in the story first. I liked this one, but parts of it were difficult to read. The scenes and descriptions of dogfighting and the brutal treatment of women by the "bad guys" ...
I'm getting ready to read the highly acclaimed and long-awaited Natchez Burning and wanted to read this short before starting. Wow! What a great reminder of how damn good Greg Iles writes. I didn't just have a lump in my throat, my chest was in knots reading The Death Factory. This was a very...

How I rated this book.All books start with 5-stars then have stars or partial stars deducted. 1. This book was not jaw-droppingly amazing in the way The Remains of the Day or Things Fall Apart were. Neither was it brilliant, ground-breaking, and thought provoking like pretty much anything by J...

Hands down this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. Greg Iles does a brilliant job of writing a book that reads like a movie, the plot and scenery so realistic that I had a hard time tearing myself away from the story, reading it in three sittings despite the 500 plus page span....

Riporto l'opinione su questo libro pubblicata sulla bacheca di facebook di una amico:"[Poi discutiamo di mercato digitale, editori e metadati] Questo è uno dei romanzi più inquietanti e complessi che abbia letto negli ultimi 10 anni. Io ci ho scritto sopra un paio di pagine in uno dei miei libri,...

I come across a lot of these modern thriller type books at work, and most of them are quite poor in my view. However, I was quite impressed with this, Greg Iles's debut novel. What sets this apart from other novels of a similar type (many of them written by more popular writers, I might add) are ...

Beautiful, intelligent, and popular, her death sends the town reeling. Penn Cage, ...
Book-reader's Bias: Due to my recent non-fiction readings on WWII heroic men of science material, I was probably a bit more apt to be underwhelmed by the fictional portrayals of same in this book than I might have otherwise been. It's an interesting adventure story with decent verisimilitude, oh ...

“Dark as a damn speakeasy,” he said. “I doubt they even have crime scene tape up.” Randall Regan braked, then tensed as the squeal of rotors echoed down the street. “I don’t see a soul. I figured after what happened to Henry, the sheriff would have posted a man outside.” “Amateurs,” said Brody. “...
When I unlock the front door, I find her standing on the other side, wearing a smile like a hastily painted door on a storm-damaged house. The circles beneath her eyes are so dark that her makeup can’t mask them, and the Band-Aid on her left cheek reminds me of the painful burn beneath it. ...
My meeting with Malik profoundly disturbed me, and I’m not sure why. His cryptic comments about my father stirred up a stew of fragmentary memories, but none has told me anything useful. I’m not even sure the images in my mind are real, and not things I’ve pieced together from old photographs and...
