Dead Sleep - Greg Iles

24 Hours - Greg Iles

is another crime thriller review from me, as I m really getting into this genre now. I came across 24 Hours in the library, and although I had heard of Greg Iles before, I hadn t read any of his work prior to this novel. Greg Iles is considered top of his game when it comes to thrilling novels so I was eager to review something for myself. 24 Hours caught my attention not just because of the blurb on the back, but because on the front was a note saying that this is "Now a major film starring Kevin Bacon & Courtney Love". I couldn t place the film, but it rang a bell, though I believe the film comes under a different title. The book is a crime thriller, ...

Blood Memory - Greg Iles

clear that Cat has some deeply hidden memories of her own. But are the past and the present connected? My first impression of Blood Memory is that Greg Iles does a remarkable job in establishing the main character, Cat. He fluidly weaves her background into the story with just enough detail to make her realistic and totally believable. She s written with such honesty, including her many flaws. It s apparent from the outset that Cat is a very independent and strong-willed woman but underneath the tough exterior lies a troubled individual. A history of suicide attempts, substance abuse and overall destructive behaviour reveals a touching element of weakness that she can ...
