Commentary As Books 24 Hours
As with all books by this author, the pacing, characters and momentum are top notch. That said, Greg tends towards crime/suspense stories with multiple sub-plots with scientific, political or historical elements woven into the story fabric. Instead, this is far simpler but still well crafted, especially where momentum is concerned. The other differentiator is it doesn't take place in Natchez, nor involve characters from his other stories. But like all books by this author,the plot goes haywire as it approaches the climax making the reader turn pages much faster. I've read just about every book he's written and while I enjoyed it, I prefer the complexity of his others such as the Natchez Burning trilogy. If you enjoy kidnapping stories, this will appeal to you. Were I able, I'd rate this book 3.5 stars rather than 3 since its well written, fast paced and fun!Specify Books Toward 24 Hours

I am not finished yet. In fact, only half-way through. You can't (or shouldn't) "review" a book like this. You should read it, become completely immersed to the point that you give up sleep, eating, and working in order to go through the palpable terror of being at the mercy of the evil kidnapper and at the mercy of the genius of Greg Iles. I have read a lot of his books. He is, overall, outstanding. I have only read one which I found disappointing. It doesn't matter which one. I want an endlessJoe Hickey is a man with a plan... the perfect plan. He, along with his wife and cousin, kidnap the child of an unsuspecting doctor. His cousin keeps the daughter, he watches over the helpless wife, and his wife keeps an eye on the doctor who is away from the family at a medical conference. Hickey's intricate plan allows the three of them to walk away scott free and $200,000 richer. How does he know it's the perfect plan, because they've executed it five times before and now they're going for
This book was really good. I read this bitch in two days. Greg Iles is freaking awesome!

The book opens with a kidnapped child being released in a busy McDonald's parking lot. The kidnappers have a devious method of divide and conquer to get what they want, and they have their sights on a new family. It's every parent's nightmare. The book opens with tension and never lets up. The only knock I have comes at the end where credibility is stretched molecule thin (no spoilers here, you'll know it when you see it).In short, this book was good enough that I will be on the look out for
If you like sex and violence along with your cliff-dwelling thrillers, then Greg Iles is your guy. About as good as it gets in this sub-genre. I've read about 10 of his books now and this one is as good as any of them; some are less good. His protagonists do not get to take a page or two off; they are in trouble right from the get-go. Going to the market for a quart of milk? You can assume he'll need to endure an armed robbery, a car chase, and a horrific accident from which he narrowly escapes
In 24 hours, Iles presents us with a nightmare scenario of a family held hostage by a trio of kidnappers. Unable to act for fear of each other's lives, they are all at the mercy of a pair of psychopaths and a manipulated man with a learning disability.24 hours is a terrifying trip from start to finish. Iles really keeps one guessing how things are going to turn out, and how much the heroes will have to endure to get through the night. The ride is slightly shallow however, don't expect deep
