Dead Sleep a novel by Greg Isles

Just finished Greg Isles- `Dead Sleep'. It was a long, though  gratifying novel.


(Note- 'long, though exceptionally gratifying novel' might often be used to describe the work of any of Salman Rushdie's novels- this by comparison is more contained, though less informant (less generally unknown `general' information conveyed through the story. I think I agrree wit T.S. Elliots dictum that great literature both educates and  entertains { I however at this moment cannot find that quote}I did discover that there is an actiual term for this "edutainment" see Wikipedia definition  here. Could be a title for a nonfiction book. )







This book could make a good movie- it involves a twin sister who discovers a painting of her thought dead sister. The painting is from a series called `sleeping woman'. The women appear as though be painted of corpses. This series of paintings become a major clue in the disappearance of many women in New Orleans. then the FBI are called in.
