Relation In Pursuance Of Books 24 Hours
As with all books by this author, the pacing, characters and momentum are top notch. That said, Greg tends towards crime/suspense stories with multiple sub-plots with scientific, political or historical elements woven into the story fabric. Instead, this is far simpler but still well crafted, especially where momentum is concerned. The other differentiator is it doesn't take place in Natchez, nor involve characters from his other stories. But like all books by this author,the plot goes haywire as it approaches the climax making the reader turn pages much faster. I've read just about every book he's written and while I enjoyed it, I prefer the complexity of his others such as the Natchez Burning trilogy. If you enjoy kidnapping stories, this will appeal to you. Were I able, I'd rate this book 3.5 stars rather than 3 since its well written, fast paced and fun!Describe Epithetical Books 24 Hours

I may be unfair to this book because I read it shortly after re-reading the excellent Black Cross and this may have lost some in the comparison. I do remember it as a decent enough thriller, but the competition for those are fierce and therefore the mid rating.This was a pretty decent thriller, but I couldn't stand the author's frequent use of one of the character's bathroom needs. Reading a thriller that includes the word "tee-tee" just seems weird and wrong.
My first Greg Iles book but it will definitely not be my last. Non stop thriller from beginning to the end. Intriguing notion of how to commit the perfect kidnapping and a race against time is set in motion. Plenty of actionm especially in last 100 pages. 4.5 ⭐. I look to forward to reading more from this author.

This book was really good. I read this bitch in two days. Greg Iles is freaking awesome!
I have now read every Greg Iles book written. This is the only one that I had missed until now. Good thing I didnt read this one first because I may not have read another one. His Penn Cage series are some of the best mystery novels out there, this book did not even begin to compare. I cant believe it was written by the same author. If this is the only Iles book youve read, dont stop here. This does not compare to his later books.
Wow! What a roller coaster of a thrill ride! This book had me hooked from the first page. Would have given it five stars, but the ending seemed sort of abrupt. I would have liked to see what happened with the kidnappers and the family in the long run.....
