Well, that was unexpected. And so good! I wanted to throw it against the wall so many times, but I also couldn‘t put it down long enough to do that. I think this might have been better than the first one. Iles has no problem killing characters that you think he can‘t possibly kill. I think I need a little break from the crazy racism before I read the next one. Something light and fluffy.

Took me twice as long to read as it should have- but well worth it. This was a great, action packed read with so many twists and turns. Sad at the end though ☹️

TrishB @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft is this ok for #redwhitebluefontonthecover ? I wasn‘t sure if it had to have all the colours on? 5y

I really enjoyed this book, the second of the Trilogy. Being such a big book, I need to read others before I dive into the next one.
This one was a sad one, but won't get into details about it, in case others want to read the Trilogy.
I would highly recommend it that's for sure

I liked this book, but not quite as well as the first in the series story arc. I‘ll move on to third book to see how the story finishes up. I‘m still amazed I‘d never heard of these books until a couple of months ago.

Guys... this trilogy is so freaking good. This is book 2. I am a sleep deprived mom with a newborn and a 3 year old and I still have not been able to put these books down. I love the historical piece to this story- Iles makes this story damn near believable as nonfiction. The characters are so well developed- especially the villains. Highly recommend this series. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for book 2, time to jump in to book 3 and see how it ends.

AmyG I just won the first book from goodreads and can‘t wait to read this trilogy. I have heard such great things. 7y

Second in the Natchez Burning Trilogy and Iles is so concerned with bringing us up to speed in case we've forgotten details of Book 1 (I had) that it takes its time to get going. Once it does it delves even deeper into America's murky past, adding the Kennedy assassination to the mix. A trifle overlong but I'm hooked anyway.

peacegypsy Hi! May I ask a huge favor? Could you please explain if you need to read the Natchez trilogy only, or do you need to read all of the Penn Cage novels? Essentially, is this a three or a five book series? Thank you so much for any insights! 😊 7y
Minervasbutler @peacegypsy I haven't read the first three and didn't notice that I was missing anything. So a trilogy, definitely. 7y
peacegypsy Thanks!! The covers and descriptions don‘t always make that clear. I appreciate it. 😊 7y
Minervasbutler @peacegypsy my pleasure! 7y

The terrible truth is, all that death is a legacy of the great crime that came before, that shattered families and stained these rich fields red for generations.

This continues the saga of Penn Cage and his attempt to live a quiet life with his little girl since the passing of his wife. Not gonna happen while there is so much dirt to stir in Natchez, MI that has his family's history written all over it. Found out after manhandling it for too long that it is a first edition. Seems odd to me that the hard cover of the book has to mention of title or author. Is this a thing now?

The 2nd part of this trilogy and the drama involving Mayor Cage and his father Dr Cage left me angry and yelling at my book, literally. But yet I still couldn't put it down. It made me pump my fists in relief and then made me tear up. And left me wanting to turn the page before I finished the last one.

Meg11726 @Cinfhen the foot is healing well. It feels great lately. The pregnancy is also well. 19 weeks today. I'm finally able to keep food down. I had been sick and they were concerned cause I was losing weight and not gaining but they started doing acupressure beads on my ears and I'm finally able to eat! This week I am feeling great. And vacation next week! Lil beans first trip to Disney 😂😂 thanks for asking xo hope all is well with you 8y
Cinfhen So happy to hear you're rested and feeling good! Disney should be awesome! Drink lots of water!!! Morning Sickness is the worst, especially when it's all day!

Just finished The Bone Tree, the second book in the Natchez Trilogy. At over 800 pages each I wish I could read faster! Even my dog is looking for attention. LOL. This book was even better than the first. I was already hugely invested in these characters so I couldn't wait to see what happened next. No spoilers but OMG this series is good. Onto Mississippi Burning.....

Into the story, however, I'm wondering how the author is gonna top the pace of the previous book. Slow goings, but keeping it pushing. #bonetree #thedirtysouth #mystery #longassbook #whowastheeditor

Reading the Bone Tree by Greg Iles and thank goodness I'm almost done with this LONG book. I'm getting tired of the Kennedy conspiracy stuff and the "poor dad" secrets that Penn's dad is keeping. Won't read the next installment.
