    I Also Recommend:

    Phycological thriller

    Intriguing story that keeps you turning the pages. Loved all the characters especially Jordan the main character. The love she holds for her family takes her on journeys across continents that finally brings her peace. Very touching.

    Dead Sleep

    I have never read any of Greg Iles works before. So I decided while I was at the book fair to take a chance. I didn't expect that much, but what I got was incredible novel, and author.

    Dead Sleep is about 11 New Orleans women who disappear. And the FBI, is trying to figure out who is doing the kidnapping and why are they painting these women?

    I barely could put the book down, his writings are captivating, suspenseful, chilling, entertaining and a MUST READ!!!

    I really did enjoy his writing, and I will continue to read more of his work!!!

    So good!!

    This book had me hooked after reading the first sentence! I couldn't get through this book fast enough, it was so good! One suggestion though, if you're a new reader to his novels try to read them in order. I'd already read True Evil so knew what happened between the two main characters. Pick it up for a fast, exciting, and thrilling read!

    Perfect for a long flight

    A friend of mine gave me this book to read to pass the time during a long airplane trip. I was unable to finish it only because the guy sitting next to me was a 'talker' - but I was very disappointed that I had to wait until later that night at my hotel to finish the book!

    Excellent read

    This is the first book I have read from Iles and I couldn't put it down from the moment I picked it up. I am now a huge Iles fan and have yet to find something by him that I don't like. I tell everyone I know that they HAVE to read this book. I love it!!

    Audio version of book is a bore...

    After reading the glowing reviews of the book I ordered the tapes from library to listen to at work...Yikes...the narrator must do a diservice to the book as I find her to be a boring and plodding read. As it is now I don't even think I can read the book..tape one side 2 and I give up! NO excitement to draw a listener in. But I loved one of his other books-Turning Angel...I only thought it just went on a little too long though.

    Another winner from Greg Iles!

    What a great idea for a story! The characters are unforgetable. The author's abilities made them easy to 'see'. This is only my second book by Greg Iles and he's definitely one of the best author's I've read. (The first one was The Quiet Game, which I liked even more.) I will definitely read some of his other books and this one is certainly worth reading.

    Kudos to Iles

    Jordan¿s story erupts onto the page with a searing heat the instant she starts reminiscing about her long lost presumed dead father, then the lava started flowing profusely when she set eyes on a portrait of a nude woman that was a mirror image of her¿ that of her identical twin, Jane who had gone missing more than a year ago. The complex yet riveting one person narrative seamlessly combines a convincing glimpse into the grimy world of the Vietnam and Cambodian wars, and a provocative insight into the art world with a brilliant portrayal of the psychology of a crafty crime and the ensuing game of cat-and-mouse between seasoned detectives and cunning subjects. A gusty, unflinching foray into the darkest, most dangerous recesses of the human soul. The protagonists are sharply drawn and well executed, and even if you dislike Jordan and John, you will ultimately understand them. As for the antagonist, a wave of sympathy might engulf you ¿.. Richly detailed, epic in scope, intimate in its probing of human character, and thrilling in the way it illuminates the complexity of family ties. If you like your mysteries gloomy and distinctive, Dead Sleep will suit you to a tee.
