Bone Tree (Iles) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[R]ichly plotted.... Some readers may feel that [a certain plot] link...is just too much, and that the tale of Penn’s efforts bringing justice to those who committed horrendous crimes against African-Americans would have been enough.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) Penn Cage and fiancee Caitlin Masters doggedly continue their search for the truth behind a series of murders from the 1960s.... Iles superbly blends past and present in his swift and riveting story line. —Joy Gunn, Paseo Verde Lib., Henderson, NV
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Absolutely compelling… A beautifully constructed story, some extremely fine writing, and some hard-to-bear tragedy.… Everything is big about this one: its epic scale [and] its built-in readership based on the success of its predecessor.
Booklist


[H]ard-boiled.... Iles allows Cage and Masters plenty of room to operate—and so they do, with all the missteps of ordinary people, unlike the supercops and superagents of so many other procedurals. Fans will find that the pace has picked up a touch from the first volume—and that's a good thing.
