Search - Third Degree

I've been surprised over the negative comments about THIRD DEGREE, mostly because I enjoyed it so much. As far as thrillers go, it's not amazingly original, but the writing is great and it moves along at a really good clip.

This isn't about crazy terrorists, gun-toting assassins, or super spies. It's simply about a marriage that has fallen apart, a husband who has literally gone over the deep end, and a wife trying her best to both apologize for her betrayal and keep safe everyone she loves the most.

I read THIRD DEGREE in a day, because I didn't want to put it down once I started. For me, a really enjoyable read!

An honest to goodness page turner! I stayed up too late to read this one!!

This was another GREAT ONE by Greg Iles!! Another page turner stay up until you drift off to sleep reading book!!

One of my favorite authors, the book did not disappoint! Great read, hard to put it down.

This is a review of an audio version of this book.

I have to agree with most of the negative reviews that readers have given this book. I was literally talking back to the characters everytime they did something dumb. I hate when authors don't give their readers enough credit.

SPOILER - When Grant slips back into the house through the dormer window - bizarre that the alarm wouldn't go off but it didn't SO why in the world didn't the sheriff's men go into the house the same way? Instead they abort the mission.

Laurel Shields doesn't have enough characterization to make her likeable or interesting; Warren Shields is horrible with no redeeming qualities - he's a mess, even without his medical condition, he's a cold, unloving man. Danny MacDavitt is too good to be true so he's boring as well. The only one I actually like in the whole book is Starlett!

RIch with Southern atmosphere and laced with the tactic deceptions and psychologocal cracks found in nearly all marriages, "third degree' delivers a knockout, page turning read!
Laurel locks herself in the master bathroom, opens a home pregnancy test kit and fearfully tests herself, Pregnant annouces the digital readout. Laurel closes her eyes as though absorbing news of death, then quickly hides the evidence, she is not sure who the father is.....
