Big disappointment!
After George Pelecanos’ poor in every aspect “Hell to Pay” and Simon Becket’s hyped “The Chemistry of Death” I was hoping that Greg Iles would bring a bit of satisfaction to my Crime Fiction heart.
“Blood Memory”, of the same author, was actually a pretty good ride, so after two mediocre books I thought that “Mortal Fear” was the book to put things back into place.
“Mortal Fear” has its moments, but it’s too long, too complicated in the wrong way, too unbelievable, in the end… too much to compromise. The last chapter is just ridiculous.
Cheers
