I love his books. Natchez Burning was his last one I believe. I wonder if he is writing another?

I've read most, if not all, his books. Very engaging.

I really loved Turning Angel

Not sure why I never picked his others up

May do that after I knock out these Jack Reacher books from the last few years

I think I have read every book he has written. His earlier books were great, the most recent books have gone downhill starting with the Natchez Burning Trilogy and the most recent I've read Cemetery Road. He's started to let politics really bled into his writings and I think they suffer for it. I've heard he had a pretty big change in his personality/outlook after the bad car wreck he was in and lost part of his leg

Pretty sure he's working on another Penn Cage novel now

Spandau Phoenix was a damn good book.
I've not read any others of his, but I have one or two on a shelf somewhere on the TBR list.

I read the first Penn Cage.
Started the second but couldn’t really get into it.

Big fan. I’ve read the 6 Penn Cage books and I’m reading Cemetery Road now.

I have read them all and agree that the early ones were stellar, while the more recent ones somewhat less so. Turning Angel was probably my favorite. I visit Natchez regularly, so enjoy that association. I will likely read anything he releases, and I think he is working on Southern Man right now for release next year.

Just finished Black Cross. Another great early Iles book. Big fan of all of them.

His stand alone books are great. I lost interest in the Cage series about 3 books ago.

Couldn't really get past his 16 year old girl fantasy writings in whichever book that was. Was super creepy and strange how he glorified the 40+ old banging a high school chick. I stopped reading him after that book. So, i think i made it through 2?

I must be an outlier. Ready Natchez Burning and a couple of others. Some good prose but plots were way too far-fetched . The scene involving the flame-thrower was so preposterous I couldn’t go any further
