1) & 2) describe the main character and the plot of the story: Harper Cole has a day job, trading commodities out of his farmhouse on the isolated Delta. But at night, his occupation becomes a systems operator for Eros, a highly exclusive, sexually explicit online service whose clients range from the Hollywood jet set to the New York literati. Shielded by a guarantee of absolute anonymity, these clients pour their secrets into a digital confession box, accessible only by the top brass of Eros operators like Harper Cole.
But when six female participants mysteriously "log off" -- disappear from the network altogether -- and a famous New Orleans author and Eros client is horribly murdered in her home, Harper Cole is faced with a policy-breaching decision. He notifies the police, and suddenly finds himself the FBI's prime suspect for murder. 3)this is a story: This is a suspense story.
4)what is the author trying to tell you in this story? He was actually wrote a very rich mystery story with a lot of twists. There is no special meaning about this novel.
5)this book showed me/i learned form this story? I learnt that online games is not that safe after all, it can get you into some kind of trouble.
6)what did you like about this book? Greg Iles has created a plot with the potential to sizzle off the page - sex, brutality, blood and guts, computer technology, cat and mouse games with an insanely brilliant and devious killer. I like it because it’s a page-turner with tons of suspense.
7)I didn't like the book becuase it could have delved into the sociological ramifications of on-line sex as a form of infidelity. It could also have dug deeply into the legal issues of "right to privacy". It didn't. Moreover, "Mortal Fear" could have discussed the psychological impact of incest on its participants and victims. It didn't.
