About this deal

The rating is only for the writing. I did enjoy the initial half of the book for the story but later continued reading because of the writing alone. It was spectacular. The setting of the story is in a small town called Bienville. The characters were so life like, I believe I can find them if I take a trip to that place. The use of our Chapel along with the assistance of a trained staff member on the day of the service. Please wear suitable clothing if you have to visit a cemetery during or immediately following heavy rain. In most cemeteries the Council will allow two full interments with the possibility of a third subject to ground conditions. Up to four cremation caskets may also be interred in the lair subject to ground conditions

Other authors I can wait until I come around to it. The author has an amazing gift of weaving so many concepts together into one book and that is the case with this offering. In this one we explore unexpected loss of loved ones, political graft, love triangles, and a major conspiracy. All of these are put together without missing a beat. Even with all these concepts that isn't even the main concept of exploration in this book. That would be the choices we make whether we are forced into them or not and how we live with their consequences. These consequences could lead into heartache and pain and that is the result we have to bear. Thanks to LibraryThing, William Morrow and Greg Iles for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.” - John Dalberg-Acton, 1887 Rev. Ernest Price (left to be the Principal of the Calabar Baptist College and first Headteacher of the Calabar High School in Jamaica – see picture R.) This introspective self-image may be shattered during a series of events which take place in less than a week.

The collection of cremated remains and memorial consultations can still take place by means of an appointment. To complicate his personal life is his childhood love Jet, who is a lawyer and has married into the family of Max Matheson. Her husband, Paul, was Marshall’s good friend from school days and while in Special Forces saved Marshall’s life when on assignment in Iraq. The marriage is shaky, as her husband suffers from PTSD, and is drinking and over medicating. They have a son. There are a total of 24 cemeteries which cover the whole Bradford Metropolitan District. The cemeteries are managed by two Area Offices.

I will say, one touching moment in the book was the conversation between Marshall and his dad. I really enjoyed that scene, even if it did feel a bit convenient. I must provide a disclaimer that there are a few parts of this story that are a bit depressing thus please be aware of that before you start reading. This novel also contains a few racy scenes for those of you who might feel the need to cover your eyes. In most cemeteries the Council will allow two full interments with the possibility of a third subject to ground conditions. Up to four cremation caskets may also be interred in the lair subject to ground conditions. The reason I could not give this five stars is that this book did remind me of the Penn Cage series that this author has written. That series has recently ended so this coincidence seemed a little too convenient. The other reason is the characters including our "hero" of the story. Besides a side character of Nadine, I did not like any of them. This was the result of their choices which is a selling point of this novel. Choices whether forced or not don't always make the person shine in a positive light.

The service is responsible for the management of six active cemeteries, fifteen closed burial grounds, and the Southern Crematorium (Wilford Hill). Like his Penn Cage series, this is classic Greg Iles: the main character is a writer, it is set in a small Southern city (Bienville), with a plot combining long-buried secrets, southern culture, complicated family dynamics, and nasty politics. Bienville is struggling with socioeconomic depression, corruption, murder, scheming politicians, and powerful, rich, white businessmen with no scruples (the Poker Club.) The scattering or interment of the ashes within our Gardens of Remembrance, or the preparation for their removal along with a suitable container and the Cremation Certificate.

There’s no meaning to be found in tragedy. Only in our response to it. What we do matters, nothing else.” We’re all blind about some things. Different things for each of us. That’s what makes life so hard.” The crematorium is open for inspection at any time by members of the public and holds two services of remembrance a year and an annual Open Day when our staff are happy to answer any questions visitors have about the crematorium.

Bad things are astir on the banks of the Big Muddy, hallmark territory for homeboy Iles ( Mississippi Blood, 2017, etc.). Marshall’s high school sweetheart from over twenty years ago, Jet, still lives in Beinville and has married into the family of Max Matheson, patriarch of one of the families that rule the Poker Club. Paul Matheson, Max’s son, and Marshall’s best friend growing up, is now married to Jet. Paul, a Special Forces veteran, had saved Marshall’s life in Iraq and is now suffering from PTSD. Marshall and Paul’s relationship is complicated. Marshall adds to the complication when he renews a passionate affair with Jet that is bound to have major consequences.
