This month's pick comes from Karen, who recommends Cemetery Road by Greg Iles, a thriller set in small-town Mississippi. Karen says: "Murder, mystery, deception, twists and turns and questionable moral decisions. It took me a little bit to really get into it, but once I did I couldn't put it down! Marshall goes back to his hometown to help his mother with his ailing father (who he has been alienated from since his brother died when he was a teenager). Shortly after moving back home the man who was like a father to him when his own father gave up is murdered. What follows is a super intense roller coaster ride. As he tries to figure out who killed his mentor, Marshall finds out that this murder is only the tip of the iceberg. Each piece he figures out just unveils another deeper layer of deception than before.
You know it's a good book when you finish it and go...hmm what other books has this author written...I need more!" |
