Mortal Fear description
Raymond Chandler once proclaimed that the first-person narrator should never turn out to be the villain in a good mystery or thriller. Luckily, the excellent writer Greg Iles has seemingly ignored Chandler's advice. Iles has created a character--Harper Cole, a futures trader and online pornographer--who could very well be the person killing off subscribers to his Internet sex service. Or is it Miles Turner, Cole's very odd colleague? If you thought that stalking a killer on the Internet had been done to death in books and bad movies, this one will have you pushing the reload button on your browser. Other Iles books in paperback include Black Cross and Spandau Phoenix. |

Creepy suspense

One thing I love about Greg Iles is that he isn't a "template" writer and every one of his books is so different and fascinating in their own way. I thought this was one of his creepiest stories since it involves an internet porn site where the killer selects his victims. The psychological twists and turns that this novel takes will keep you hooked throughout the book.
I did think the book was a little too long and could have been pared down without destroying the story. The character development is exceptional and it is very hard to tell who the "bad guy" really is.....there are several possibilities to keep the reader guessing.
One part that was not very believable was when Drewe, Harper's wife, reveals herself to the killer towards the end. Drewe is a physician and a reserved and "proper" Southern woman. She is disgusted by the porn industry and wants no part of it. Her sudden transformation in the midst of terror-filled moments when she becomes the object of the killer's obssession, was a huge stretch by any means of the imagination. One could possibly assume she was avenging her sister's untimely death, but the whole scene was still a stretch.
This is a very creepy psychological thriller and well worth the time it takes to read it. |
