tvordlj14 - True Evil - Greg Iles
Second book by him i've read and it was pretty good. It's about a female FBI agent who's lost her father and her mother is dying of cancer. Her sister dies suddenly but her sister tells her that her husband murdered her. The agent, Alex, goes on a quest outside FBI rules to find how the how and when etc. This leads her to a corrupt lawyer. It seems that in every case that she's uncovered, someone dies of cancer or some other blood disease, the spouse inherits big bucks but in every case, that spouse was going to file for divorce before their spouse got sick. Somehow, someone or something is giving these people illnesses and the surviving spouse and the lawyer are making a mint. This leads her to a doctor who she belives will be the next victim because his wife has been seen visiting the lawyer. This is the only point that kind of stuck for me. The lawywer must seen dozens of people every day and many of them wealthy people wanting divorce. I never did pinpoint why Alex thinks this particular one is going to be The One. I may have missed that. I read quickly and do miss little things at times. Other than that, taken it on faith, We proceed. Alex is desperate to prove her brother-in-law killed her sister and she wants custody of her nephew when it's all over. There's another person involved, a doctor who is an expert in viruses and radiology and all the other things you might need to introduce illnesses into someone. Overall, pretty good book for a bus commute.
Now, on to a chick lit book, Best of Times by Penny Vincenzi. I like her books. I also have Sailing Away From Winter by Silver Donald Cameron on the go.
