I'm one-third of the way through TURNING ANGEL, another of author Greg Iles' Mississippi-based thrillers. I have read several of his novels (including the recent TRUE EVIL), and I have to say that he's got to be one of my fave writers. His fiction is dense and literate, and deals with difficult issues of morality and ethics against a backdrop of smalltown seaminess, murder, and more. His protagonists never fail to draw you in, and this one is no exception. Its too soon to delve into plot (as his plots are never what they seem), but rarely has a book grabbed me this quickly. This one is a few back in his catalog/ I think he has written two since TURNING ANGEL, but any of his books are a good launching point. The tension tightens like a vise as the chapters fly by. For those who like their thrills on a DVD player, seek out TRAPPED, based on Iles' novel 24 HOURS...
