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!

Very well written. I started reading on a lazy Sunday afternoon and couldn't put it down. Read the entire book in the span of 6 hours! Won't be my last Greg Iles read. Definitely couldn't predict the ending!

I thought it was an above average book. The ending was a surprise. It was a little slow toward the end.

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.....

Over the top intense.
Starts off fast and keeps gaining speed till the very end.
Did not disappoint.

Secrets will always come out, you just can't plan when it will happen.

Thriller about a woman whose Dr. husband holds her and their children hostage while he tries to determine who she had an affair with. Fast moving, well written, but I didn't care much for some of the characters.

I found myself skipping over paragraphs at a time because the book seemed to drag on. I did continue to read the book since I wanted to find out the ending but it seemed to take a very long time to get there.

Good book and storyline; however, I found myself wanting to smack the heroine, Laurel, for her indecisiveness and inaction in confronting Warren, and in escalating the situation. Also, her son needs a smack on his tush for not listening and obeying adults in authority, which causes some circumstances to escalate. I also felt the story was drawn out a little longer than was really necessary. Still, Id recommend it.
