The quiet game and 24 hours greg iles6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I did realize until after I had finished the story that Dick Hill was the narrator. ![]() Nevertheless in this story, Dick's voice became an ensemble of different voices. For me, Dick Hill is the voice of Lee Child's character Jack Reacher. She was able to help herself in some ways. I like that the Greg Iles wrote the little girl as smart, sensible and clever. But in the end, the father became the hero. The little girl and Huey were my favorite characters. He is evil but his cold-blooded evilness is counter-balanced somewhat by big "kinda slow" Huey. The story moves forward at all times and the roles of the minor characters helped to facilitate the movement of the story. I like thrillers that are lean of characters so it is not complicated by having to keep too many characters sorted out. It showed the extremes a parent will go to in order to save their child. Each twist and turn of the story were not telegraphed, so you were always guessing and scared for the mom and dad, and the little girl. There were edge of seat and nail biting moments from beginning until the very end. The plot is old but presented in a new and refreshing way. I needed to know what was going to happen next. The story was so intense that there was not a good place to pause or stop listening. This is my first read by Greg Iles and I loved it! The story hooked me from the first paragraph and I couldn't put it down. ![]()
