Dead Sleep by Greg Iles

3.0

Rating 3.4* out of 5. I was surprised by how quickly this book took me in. I started to root for the main character almost immediately. She is Jordan, a photojournalist who suddenly finds herself facing a painted picture of her lost sister Jane. The painting is in a series called "sleeping women", but Jordan quickly senses that they are not sleeping, they are dead.

Jordan brings the news of the painting to the FBI and demands to be a part of the investigation. They let her. After the first 100 pages or so, there is a long interlude of many boring pages. The first twist was a "not again" eye-roller, the last twist actually took me by surprise. Nicely done.

Over all this book is very well written, the characters are interesting and the plotting is good. I have no regrets and I will definitely be reading more novels by this author.
