At first I was thrilled to discover this author and this novel. I thought that I might have found a replacement for Larry Brown. The novel was exciting at first as it takes place in Mississippi amongst different types of people than Larry Brown wrote about but there are some Larry Brown moments in the book. But by the end the novel started dragging along and ultimately came to a predictable end. I will not read any more Greg Iles novels.

What do you look for in a replacement for Larry Brown? What kind of writing is Larry Brown's that you are hoping to find in another writer?
I look for earthy writing about the contemporary South. Sort of like Flannery O'Connor.
