The Bone Tree, by Greg Iles
5.0
This book was crazy from the beginning to the end. It doesn't feel like it is 800 plus pages because it moves so fast. I found myself staying up too late, and grabbing it first thing when my eyes opened needing to find out what happens next.
I think my mind is still reeling from all the action in this book, so many deaths, and not all of them the bad guys! Luckily the Cage's have a lot of people who have their back but not all of them will come out of this unscathed. From murder, to planting of evidence, to who shot JFK this book will take you on a ride that will leave you feeling like you just went through a war.
This is not a stand alone book but you don't need to really start at book 1 either. I feel that the Penn Cage novels are actually two series of trilogies and this one begins with Natchez Burning. This is an epic adventure through some of the darkest American history. I highly recommend it and Greg Iles crafts characters that you either love or hate, but they are very 3 dimensional, you feel like you know these people for good or ill.
