Warren truly believes his wife Laura was having an affair with his partner. He holds Lauren and their children hostage for the most terrifying 24 hours that anyone could ever imagine. In those hours she discovers that her husband--a very good doctor--and his partner were together in a sham to fraud the government. She did have an affair, but, not with his partner. As the thriller continues, Laura can only hope and pray that her lover can come and rescue her and her children. Greg Iles holds the reader hostage in one of his very best.
Greg Iles usual good read- He writes in the role of a small town wife and mother who has a secret to hide. Her usually quite sane doctor husband, who has a deadly secret of his own, becomes a monster when he inadvertantly discovers a love letter from the wife's ex-lover. Add to this the unexpected pregnancy of the wife and you have an explosive drama that keeps you turning pages till dawn. Greg Iles has a gift for keeping the story moving along at a fast pace.
When I first started this book I really considered putting it down and not reading it because it's about infidelity and I thought it would be too depressing. NOT!!! I'm only half-way through this book and can't wait to get back to it. I like Greg Iles novels. I never know how to pronounce his name. Is it Eels or E-less? He writes what he knows which I appreciate being a southerner. I particularly like that he is current with believable circumstances regarding cell phones and computers. He is writing of today. The characters, as usual, are very well developed and the writing is superb with no unnecessary filler, which I detest. Its so easy to identify his characters with characters in your own life. This book is spell-binding. I have discovered with his books that one can never predict the ending so I'm hooked. His novels are sometimes disturbing but not without cause. I bought this novel because its a Greg Iles book and his reputation is 5-star in my book.Read full review
