"An ambitious stand-alone thriller that is both an absorbing crime story and an in-depth exploration of grief, betrayal and corruption... Iles's latest calls to mind the late, great Southern novelist Pat Conroy. Like Conroy, Iles writes with passion, intensity and absolute commitment." - Washington Post on Cemetery Road
"Pure reading pleasure. This guy knows the deep south as well or better than any other novelist." - Stephen King on Cemetery Road
"Iles... has made Mississippi his own in the same way that James Lee Burke has claimed Cajun country and Michael Connelly has remapped contemporary Los Angeles... They will be talking about this one for a quite awhile." - Booklist (starred review) on Cemetery Road
"A sweeping tale of family dysfunction [and] sexually charged secrets." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cemetery Road
"It is impossible to turn away. It's like binge-watching your favorite TV drama, and you don't dare take your eyes off the screen for fear of missing out on another revelation. Cemetery Road is full of them." - Bookreporter.com
"Imagine William Faulkner and Stieg Larsson had a love child. Natchez Burning combines the pace of Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo with a Faulkneresque, bone-deep knowledge of Mississippi in all its beauty and racial torment." - AARP Magazine
"Every single page of Natchez Burning is a cliffhanger that will keep you devouring just one more chapter before you put it down to eat, work, or go to bed.... This ambitious, unique novel is the perfect marriage of a history lesson and a thriller." - Jodi Picoult
"Iles carries it off with style, intelligence and passion...The Bone Tree is filled with menace, betrayal, [and] unexpected plot twists. . . [and] is a very American epic-in-progress that leaves us waiting, none too patiently, for whatever revelations are still to come." - Washington Post
"Extraordinary. . . . 'Great Expectations' transplanted to an American South laced with comparably gothic overtones. . . . The Bone Tree establishes Iles as this generation's William Faulkner." - Providence Journal
"Absolutely compelling.... A beautifully constructed story [and] some extremely fine writing." - Booklist(starred review) on The Bone Tree
