Review
"[A] fascinating novel. Greg Iles takes his time letting the various plot lines neatly coalesce and offers a coherent conclusion. The characters are perfectly cast in their roles, and readers get to hate the bad guys and cheer for the good ones." BookReporter.com
Review
"True Evil begins in promising enough fashion, but Iles sends his story ricocheting in a dizzying manner, piling on unnecessary subplots along the way....As a fan of Iles' previous work, I hope he takes more time and care with his next book. (Grade: C)" Entertainment Weekly
Review
"Before you know it, you've reached the last page, and you're all out of breath but you've had one hell of a ride. Plot-driven is too often used as a pejorative term; Iles shows the other side." Booklist
