Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The beautiful stranger John Waters has just met reminds him too much of his old girlfriend-because she is.
Amazon.com Review:
Eve Sumner has an uncanny resemblance to a long-dead woman with whom John Waters was once obsessively in love. The successful Mississippi oilman's college affair with Mallory Candler ended long before she was killed, but the mysterious Eve knows things about that affair that only Mallory could have known. That's more than a coincidence, since Eve is actually Mallory's reincarnation—or, at least, she's the corporeal body into which Mallory's restless soul seems to have migrated. Long before the bizarre denouement of this supernatural thriller--a departure for Iles, whose previous thrillers have been much more straightforward--the reader's sympathies have been engaged by Waters, a decent man whose best friend may be his worst enemy and whose past may destroy his future. Iles has many gifts as a storyteller, including ingenious plotting and solid pacing, both of which are on display here, but this foray into the occult doesn't show them off to best advantage. --Jane Adams

This is the very first Greg Iles book I really disliked.
I kept waiting for a believable resolution to the whole
Mallory thing and it never came. It SHOULD be listed as a
supernatural or ghost story, NOT a suspense novel.
It was also not very well written.
I loved Mortal Fear and The Quiet Game, but this was awful.

I've read a lot of Greg Iles' books and this is by far the WORST!! I love keeping books so I can pass them along to others or simply add to my collection. This one...I actually threw it in the trash when I finally finished reading it.

Being a big Greg Isles fan, I must admit that I never expected the story to take the turn it did. I don't want to give anything away but the author really did move in a different direction and I'm sincerely not sure if I am disappointed or not. Either way, the resolution surprised me (whch, for me, is always a good thing). I enjoyed this novel and raced through it - extremely easy read - filled with a number of "the plot thickens" moments. Unusual, a little weird and even disconcerting at times. A tad repetitive in the last third but still most certainly worth reading.

Listened to the audio version of this book. Having read many of Iles' books, I was waiting for a plausible explanation or scenario at the end. That didn't happen. I like Iles' character development in all of the books that I have listened to so far, including this one. About the only thing that I got out of it is the message that when one cheats on his/her spouse, the third party will stay with them until the end. Thankfully, Iles hasn't gone back to science fiction since this work!

I'm a real fan of Greg Iles, but this book was a big disappointment. If you like nonstop sex crossed with The Body Snatchers, you just might enjoy this book. But I found it very trite. OK, I admit I finished it, just to find out what happens to Malory, but it was painful.
