OMG! Amazing, second time through. Really enjoyed every page of it, read for hours at a time beyond my normal amount of reading time. Loved the main character, Jordan Glass. Well done, Iles, well done!!

Don't know how to feel about this yet.

Interesting serial killer? I guess.

Potentially bordering bigotry in the contents? perhaps

I think I read this in high school, maybe early college. Remember finding it creepy but interesting.

A slow-paced mystery that packs all of the action into the final 50 pages. I’ve read other novels by Iles that I liked better than this one. Still Iles is a good storyteller and the main character, Jordan Glass, makes a competent narrator for the novel. A good mystery with a few flaws but recommended if you are looking for a dark mystery and FBI procedural.

A few too many unanswered questions for me, but certainly an unusual premise and a well-paced story.
