Review of 'True evil' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Though not my favourite Iles title by a long shot, the sympathy you feel for Chris and alex is quite intense. Whilst the action is standard, the surrounding miasma of death and disease ratchets up the intensity of our feelings toward the leads. The medical stuff is interestingly scary, too.

The FBI and western powers in general do always seem to come out smelling of roses, though - if not with regards to how they handle their own personnel, at least with reference to their intentions and operating procedures. a little more grit wouldn't go amiss, the shades of grey are a little thin on the ground.
