Stephen King said should come with a red wrapper marked DANGER: HIGH EXPLOSIVES about Greg Iles book Sleep No More. People magazine said: Irresistible Pass-the-popcorn fun. And somewhere in the middle is the truth.There are three different types of books fun books without a lot of literary merit and intelligent books that are, often, dry as toast and books that fall in the middle - well written prose with characters that jump off the page. Iles isnt a bad writer and Sleep No More isnt a bad
Great book hard to put down.

The reader is introduced to his deceased girlfriend Mallory and Eve Sumner who is coming on to Woods and has repeated things that only Woods and Mallory would know. Then out of left field there is a
I'm kind of a sucker for any novel or movie that Stephen King recommends. It may not always pay off when it comes to movies, but when it comes to good books, King has rarely steered me wrong. It's because of King that I discovered one of my favorite authors, Laura Lippman.I didn't come to Greg Iles through King. I picked up his novel "Turning Angel" and was hooked immediately. Most Iles books are those that I'd classify as "books that own me" while reading them. I keep wanting to go and do other
