Summary: A multi-level attention grabber
Review: I find the more fascinating books operate on multiple levels of interest. Usually, only a couple of these levels grab my attention. However, Greg Iles has managed to be the exception. I am interested in the internet and have a 40-year background in computing, so I am hard to fool when it comes to geek-speak. Greg has done his homework here. I am interested in those who live with a secret, as in Paul Theroux' My Other Life. Greg gives his character this attribute, making him guilt-ridden and partially crippled emotionally. I am interested in sociopaths, and the villain is one of the more interesting of these, although somewhat unbelievable in his ability to survive various assaults by the main character. Good job, Greg!

Summary: Grabs you but the endings is too predictable.
Review: I have read all of his books. The plot is great and the first 500 pages keeps you guessing and turning those pages and staying up at night. But, the end game is telegraphed and is disappointing. I just wish the author had put as much into the last 100 pages as he did with the first 500, if he had this would be a classic to recommend to everyone.

Summary: Partial to Cyberspace sex? BE CAREFUL!
Review: EROS--Erotic Routine On-line Stimulation-- is a very expensive,very exclusive fictional web site on the Internet, but participating in some of its sessions can be hazardous to your health Serial killers are not a novelty in fiction, but a serialkiller haunting a red-hot sex site may be. That's what Harper Cole, futures trader by day and denizen/operator of an expensive sex-chat service by night, faces. He may even BE the serial killer. He certainly is the chief suspect when beautiful girls in the chat room start turning up dead. In Mortal Fear Greg Iles has created achillingly realistic scenario. He has us actually believing that a chat room member, thinking she is chatting with a faceless friend perhaps a half- continent away, suddenly realizes her "friend" is right outside her window with his laptop and a very large knife. As one real, live chat room participant in an actual chat room with the real live Author Iles commented, "From now on, I don't sit down at my computer without a rear-view mirror." Now, that's creating realism. One of the sub-plots of Mortal Fear deals with arresting the age process.The young begin to age,the old get young and never get old. Anyone under 40 may look benignly at this. Those over 50 will sigh longingly and wish that, for once, life really would imitate art. The over 60's of us may simply drool over that idea , suspend disbelief, sit back, and sweat out Greg Iles' latest suspense/thriller. 'Puter nuts will revel: voice recognition chips, talking computers, pitch versatility, lexical stress , even voice recognition capability. Kinda scary, right? Our most private e-mail--our most private chat rooms--accessible to total strangers? (Read:FBI or IRS or AOL.) But Mortal Fear is not entirely suspense and serious. Iles brings us a hilarious scene in a cemetery , wherein ....but no, not in this review. We'll leave that to the movie. Chuck Lang, Sun City, AZ

Summary: One of the best books-on-tape I've ever listened to
Review: This recorded book on tape (15 cassettes - 22.5 hours) goes by like minutes. The plot, sys-op Harper Cole tracking down incredibly G-d like serial killer with the help of his friend, computer genius Miles Turner, is a wonderfully exciting, suspenseful thriller. The narrator, Richard Ferrone, does a beautiful job of making you believe he is different characters. This is one worth getting out of the library or renting - though I'm sure I would have enjoyed it just as much by actually reading it.

Summary: WoW!!!
Review: Being an avid reader I didn't think that I could be surprised or blown away by a new thriller. This book is the one. A must read for any person who likes their hero a little tainted, confused and human. I had to take a day off of work because I couldn't put the book down. I hope my boss doesn't read these reviews. Every one who reads pick up this book. If you don't read books start with this one, it will hook you on reading for life. Wow!!!

Summary: First rate thriller
Review: I defy you to put it down. I read the book in a night-long sitting. As a Mississippian, I found his sense of place exactly right (unlike the faceless, placeless John Grisham). The suspense is unrelenting. Don't miss this one.

Summary: Never Judge a Book by Its Title.
Review: Run-of-the mill title and subject matter might keep you away, but that would be an unfortunate mistake. Iles has an incredibly deft touch with suspense and build-up, while creating 3-dimensional characters who live in our own anti-heroic, imperfect world. One blistering read.
