My first Greg Iles read. I enjoyed it. Seems to be a lot of different ratings on reviews, but I will definitely read this author again.

My first ever audio book. Scott Brick is an incredible narrorator. A tale of murder, lies, corruption, and betrayal. This was a stunning example of people going up against the "Good old boys" club. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was listening to it.

Almost a DNF. I kept reading because I liked the Penn Cage series and expected something to change. First half was surprisingly slow because we needed to take detours through what appears to be the author’s personal fantasies. Characters were overall not very likable.

I absolutely loved this book! The twists and turns this book has is still schooling to me but the writing is incredible! Even after not reading this book for a couple months I was able to hop right back in and follow the story. The ending was so good!! This book left me absolutely speechless and had me gasping out loud and sometimes had me saying my thoughts out loud which usually I don’t usually do with other books! I would highly recommend this book to people especially those who might be in a reading slump!!

So many things to say about this book. It was really a 4 to 5 star story. So what took it all the way down to 2 stars? And almost a 1.

-this read a lot like the Great Gatsby. A good story with completely vile and unlikeable characters. The bad guys are scum, but the “good guys” come across as dirtbags as well.
-I don’t love books that have infidelity, and the central theme of this book surrounds infidelity. From chapter 2 maybe all the way to the end, it’s there.
- some books come across like this: the author has some serious repressed sexual fantasies, and they don’t get it in their real life so they have to write a book to satisfy their weird horny desires. This was that book.
- There is a certain amount of discussion on pubic hair that I want in a book. And that amount is zero. This book SHATTERS that number, placing it at the forefront. Think I’m exaggerating? There is a whole subplot around it!
