Greg Iles - Mortal Fear

I just want to share a book that I’ve read a year ago. This book is about a serial killer that targets females from an erotic online dating service called EROS. Its mostly about sex and murder. The killer uses many usernames, he toys with women, kills them, and can always find a way of escaping thru his vast knowledge of computers. Since the protagonist is the system operator of EROS, he became one of the prime suspect along with his colleague. This is where the cat-and-mouse game hunt begins. You can search it online for a better synopsis since I’m not good with it.

The book itself is a fairly long read. But, it never really bogs down. Greg Iles has put a great deal of detail into this novel. It also has plenty of action and it deals with family problems that ties in the end. The computer aspect of the story is also interesting since the killer is anonymous thru the Internet. The tension is great and I love the conversations as it really builds up the story. In the end, this is a book that I’ll recommend to everyone who wants an excellent suspense and psychological thriller.
