Title: A disappointment for this Greg Iles fan
Product review: Because I didn't recall that any of Iles' other novels were about the supernatural, I kept expecting this mystery to have a real-life explanation. I wasn't sure what genre the book belonged to -- straight thriller or fantasy -- so I kept hanging on throughout this sluggish, repetitive novel to its disappointing end to find out. I felt no sympathy or empathy for any of the cardboard characters, and really didn't care what happened to them. There wasn't even much of the wonderful Natchez atmosphere I've always enjoyed in his other books. I hope Iles soon gets back to the kind of writing I've come to expect from him.
