True evil has a face you know and a voice you trust....

A Southern doctor is pulled into a terrifying ring of murderous secrets -- in this powerhouse thriller from New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles

Dr. Chris Shepard has never seen his new patient before. But the attractive young woman with the scarred face knows him all too well. An FBI agent working undercover, Alex Morse has come to Dr. Shepard's office in Natchez, Mississippi, to unmask a killer. A local divorce attorney has a cluster of clients whose spouses have all died under mysterious circumstances. Agent Morse's own brother-in-law was one of those clients, and now her beloved sister is dead. Then comes Morse's bombshell: Dr. Shepard's own beautiful wife consulted this lawyer one week ago, a visit Shepard knew nothing about. Will he help Alex Morse catch a killer? Or is he the next one to fall victim to a deadly trap of sex, lies, and murder?

seeing what's true

It's interesting to spend time with characters who know more than simply how to destroy and how to hurt. True Evil assembles a group of professionals who know a lot and let their knowledge influence how they think and what they notice. Even the "bad guys" use their intelligence and apply their commonsense. Serial killers are so often thought of as damaged in some way, even insane. But when that isn't true, ordinary doubts turn into nightmare fears and normally reasonable distrust drives every thought and feeling to a desperate extreme. Iles doesn't keep you guessing, he keeps you horrified.

How Could ANYONE Rate This Less Than Five Stars?

I had never read a Greg Iles book, but own several of them thanks to a friend who owns a used bookshop who loaded me up recently with a variety of great mystery and thriller novels. Among them were a few Greg Iles novels, including True Evil. After seeing many glowing reviews I decided to jump in in spite of the fact that I'm not usually a fan of lengthy novels.

The fact is I couldn't get enough of this story. Enough have written about the characters and the plot to give you more than enough information about this story, but I had to put my own feelings into words as this novel flat-out blew me away. What I enjoyed about it most was that it read like a movie and never left you needing to back track if you had to put the novel down for a day or two to tend to everyday life. Everything remains fresh in your mind, as Greg Iles clearly paints the landscape for you and doesn't confuse you with too many twists or characters. I loved that no matter how often I tried to predict the next move, murder, twist, etc., I was ALWAYS wrong.

This is a great book for fans of Harlan Coben, John Sanford, and the like. One of the best page turners I've read in a long while, and I read a lot of books! Highly recommended!

This Book Has It All

I have found books by this writer to be good and Blood Memory was truly special and this book is in the same category. It has a cpmplex story that is very well developed along with characters that have depth and feelings imbued into them. Like a masrer artist, the wroter adds depth, layer upon layer, as the book progresses. The characters are special and the motivations for their actions become clearer and clearer as the book progresses. This is truly a "page turnet" that is special on so many levels. Just when the reader feels that the story has been figured out, the writer is able to deftly throw in a double or triple twist that keeps the reader guessing. This is one of the finest books that I have ever read and credit for this masterful job musr go to the wtiter. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It jumps off the pages like a movie script.

Incredible ... Needs 6 or 7 stars !!!

I am very partcular when it comes to thrillers and mysteries. I don't like my time wasted on ho-hum plots. THIS ONE KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF !!! I couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing in 2 days. When the FBI agent was being reprimanded by her bosses and almost fired I had to keep reminding myself it was only fiction. I had to take a Pepsid because I had heartburn so badly. I felt like she was a member of my family getting unjustly accused. I have told at least 10 people to buy this book. Iles is a master-story teller.


Impressive Author

This is the second of Iles' novels that I read, the first being The Quiet Game, which set the standard high. While I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as The Quiet Game I cannot deny that it's a great story. It seemed as though it took awhile for the tension to build but once it did, it didn't let off until the end. And one has to appreciate the amount of research that the author must have invested to tell such a detailed and gripping medical accounts.

I think it safe to say that anyone who enjoys reading fiction will appreciate this novel.
