24 Hours | Greg Iles
78 posts | 19 read | 3 to read
Greg Iles's novels have been praised for their unusual depth of characterization and complexity of plot, and The Quiet Game was no exception. Reviewers called it "beautifully crafted" (The Providence SundayJournal), "heartbreakingly honest" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and simply "a grand thriller with a wonderful Southern seasoning" (The Orange County Register). In 24 Hours, Iles takes readers on a daringly executed roller-coaster ride with enough twists and surprises to last a lifetime. 24 Hours begins with the perfect family. On the perfect night. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five-year-old daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may be a genius. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's unspoken fear: the unstoppable kidnapping. But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings.

It‘s been 24 hours since I‘ve listened to an audiobook. 24 HOURS‼️‼️‼️ This is jarring considering I‘ve been listening to a series nearly nonstop for the last two weeks. I ran out of borrows and none of my other libraries has the next book. But I guess this is practice as the next book is the last one that has been published and I‘ll likely have to wait a year for the one after that.

Susanita The dreaded dilemma of waiting for the next book in the series! 😬 2y
slategreyskies Do you ever use Hoopla? My library doesn‘t have it, but I was able to get a card from a neighboring library system and use that card on Hoopla. The nice thing about Hoopla is that there are never any waits for the books. All of them can be checked out at any time. They do have audiobooks available too. 2y
ShananigansReads @Susanita the struggle is real. 2y
ShananigansReads @slategreyskies yes. My library only allows 5 items per month so I‘m waiting on September 1 so I can get the next book. 2y
slategreyskies @Bookjunkie57 oh, bummer!! That‘s a long wait!! 2y

I am apparently on kidnapped child book reading kick as I just finished The Chain a few weeks ago. Found this book in a lending library and thought “what the hell” and it ended up being pretty good. It was interesting to see how a couple beats a mastermind at his own game. Easy read!

With just over 20 hours of reading completed, I‘m calling it quits for this #24in48 weekend. This is my third time participating and the closest I‘ve come to the 24 hour mark! 😊🎉

I finished One of Us is Lying, Swan Song, and Anne Frank‘s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation, started and bailed on The Turn of the Screw, and have read just under half of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Pretty successful weekend, I would say.

Well I‘m not gonna make #24b4Monday or #24in48 because I only have 8 hours total at this point and haven‘t done any reading yet today. But I‘m okay with that because I was working hard on my writing biz since early this morning and got a lot done. I feel completely justified in chilling the rest of the day, I‘ll be bouncing between this book, Queen Sugar in audio, and maybe a little #Librivox in the mix. @Andrew65 @ReadingMermaid

I just signed up for the 24 in 48 Readathon scheduled for January 26th and 27th. I haven't participated in any official readathons before, so I'm pretty excited. I'm gonna try to talk my 16 year old into doing it with me. Have you ever done a readathon?

You can sign up for this one at 24in48.com.

Last post before my battery dies.

I made it, with lots of reading time to spare.

Finished three books, started two new ones (noticed I had not read book two of the Wilde series when reading chapter one of book three), in the middle of one I started some time ago.

Whew! #24in48 is wrapped up for me, and although I didn‘t hit the 24-hour mark, I‘m pleased with my stack of completed books! Well, mostly completed. 😏 I‘m halfway through that top one (and am loving it). 4.5 books completed, all from my TBR, and I‘m calling it a win. And also I won a prize on the hour 36 challenge!! So a fantastic readathon all around. It‘s been so much fun—thank you to the hosts, and to everyone for their posts along the way!

With three hours logged, I‘m calling it a night. 106 pages read of Sing, Unburied, Sing, and 89 pages of The Penderwicks at Point Mouette—not a bad start to the #24in48 readathon! Happy reading to those who are still reading, and sweet dreams to those who are headed the same direction as I am right now... 😴 💤 🛏 See you tomorrow!

The nice thing about being in GMT time zone is that 12am eastern is 10pm Friday night. The lame part though is I‘m not sure I can stay awake another hour just so I can get a start on reading! 😂

My goal this #24in48 is to make a dent in finishing these that I‘ve already started. I own the physical books but downloaded all but legendary from the library for easier transportation.

Sace Word. I have less than an hour and I'm struggling to stay awake 😂 6y
LibrarianJen @RestlessFickleBookHoarder So glad Im not the only one! I am totally not a night owl. 6y

Here‘s my stack for the upcoming readathon. Haha, no, I won‘t be able to read all, but since I‘m a mood reader, I like to have options. The Blazing World is a buddy read which I‘m halfway already, so I hope to finish it this weekend. The closest I got was 19 hours, this time, we‘ll see how it goes.

This is the stack I plan to choose from for #24in48 this weekend—all from my TBR shelves. I won‘t get through them all, but I need choices! 😁 I will also no doubt intersperse some comics here and there.

My main priority is Sing, Unburied, Sing—since I won it in a Goodreads giveaway and it‘s been sitting there for about six weeks now. Any recommendations for what else I should prioritize?

UrsulaMonarch I think this will make a really good, lively "break" book - it's fun and moves really fast! ☺️ 6y

This was an ok #palatecleanser for me, a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. A reasonably well-written thriller. Glad to have tried a new author, but wonder whether I might be a bit ‘over‘ this genre?

EadieB @Andrew65 Your page count is already good for 1 day. You would feel worse if you didn‘t finish at all. So short is the way to go! (edited) 6y

So... it turns out I deleted my timer on my stopwatch app without knowing it! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don‘t remember the exact numbers but I read about 8.5 hours on day 1, and only 3.5 hours on day 2. I‘m going to roughly estimate 12 hours in total, and definitely try my seat to beat that next time. Unfortunately my reading plans were set aside when we had a few unexpected plans come up... But I‘m sure I‘ll read more next time. ♥️

Just got back from the library and I'm officially prepped and ready to go for my first #24in48 readathon! #ambitious but I have a few that have been on my #tbr for years, other new ones that peaked my interest, and I hope to make a good dent in my #readharder challenge. Here goes nothing! @24in48

I just signed up for my first #24in48! I have my doubts about getting in 24 hours all by myself, but @Pamwurtzler and I are joining forces to combine for those 24 hours-wish us luck!

Karkar I have yet to make it to 24 hours. But it is so fun to try 6y
Mdargusch I never make it to 24 but it‘s a great excuse to read for two days. I listen to my audiobook with headphones a lot. 6y

I suppose I‘ll give this a try! I‘m not sure how well I‘ll end up doing, since I do have to work Saturday morning to the afternoon, but I know I can get some major reading in after! #24in48

Amazing thriller by an amazing author. Greg Iles never disappoints!

Andrew65 Natchez Burning has just come in at the library so looking forward to that, love his Penn Cage series. 6y
Booksbooksbooks @Andrew65 that Natchez burning trilogy was AMAZING that‘s definitely what got me hooked on Greg Iles! I love everything he writes 6y
Andrew65 @Booksbooksbooks With you on that one! 6y

Booknerd2 I agree with all of the above. Absolutely 💜💜💜 Greg Iles. 6y
Booksbooksbooks @booknerd2 @andrew65 from one Greg Iles lover to another, what other authors do you like that write similar to Greg Iles? (Genre or style?) 6y
Andrew65 @Booksbooksbooks Will give that some thought and let you know. 6y
Booknerd2 @Booksbooksbooks let me think also. One for sure might be Karin Slaughter. Not the historical twist but her books can be brutal and no one is safe. She has some series and stand alones. I use fantasticfiction.com to find books by author and series in order. Love it as much as Litsy.💜💜💜 6y
Booksbooksbooks @booknerd2 I just picked up a Karin slaughter book. I have some others but I‘m not sure if the order so that site will be great 6y

I had this book, but I think I let someone borrow it and it was never returned... 🤭😖

SandyW Thankfully I've only had that happen twice. I wound up buying both books again. It's almost as bad as getting them back with mysterious stains. 😱 6y

This was my first ever Greg Iles book, being book 2 in the Mississippi Series. An excellent thriller with non-stop action from this great writer. Read this three years ago this month but certain elements of the story have stayed strongly with me. Recommend Greg Iles book strongly! #Novemberbythenumbers #24 #twentyfour

TrishB I‘m working my way through these too! 6y
Andrew65 @TrishB I need to get back to this series as the Penn Cage Series and the Natchez Burning Trilogy have taken over from it but they are brilliant! 6y
Rachbb3 I love Greg Iles, when you get a chance check out Spandau Phoenix and Black Cross. They are my favorites by him. 😊 6y

Andrew65 @Rachbb3 Thanks, a glowing recommendation. Both added to my wishlist. 👍 6y
JewelsEnd Pretty much just need to read anything by him. They are all good. This is the only one of his books they made into a movie. unfortunately, near the time it was released, there was a high profile case involving the murder of an abducted child and the studio killed the marketing for the film, afraid of seeming insensitive. 6y

Made it over half way! Finished Mask of Shadows ARC (LOVED it), the first 2 issues of DC Super Hero Girls: Past Times at Super Hero High. Got about halfway through My Sunshine Away (so good)! And started my ARC of Moxie.

Overall not a bad #24in28.

...and done! I'm really pleased with how my readathon turned out. I started and finished 1 audio and 3 print books. Not bad for just over 24 hours. Of course, my house looks like a tornado ripped through it but I can deal with that another day. Good luck to anyone still finishing up and thanks for another great #24in48!
