Mystery: “True Evil” by Greg Iles

You know when something in a book can just creep you out so much because you don’t know whether it’s something the author just dreamed up out of nowhere or if he’s read about it and the ability to do that horrible thing is actually out there right now in the real world and could be happening to people? And I’m not talking “horrible thing” like something in a crazy horror/ slasher/ murder flick. I’m talking subtly yicky yicky mentally-disturbing “what if people are really doing that?” horrible. And it’s not the part about hiring someone to kill off your spouse instead of you going through a divorce. I’ve still kinda got the skeeves. But that’s really why you read a book like this one: to get your scary kicks.
