Summary of this Book... | ||
A serial killer is loose in pre-Katrina New Orleans, and his victims all have ties to the asylum where Abby Chastain's mother died twenty years ago. Fresh on the heels of a nasty divorce, Abby is trying to go on with her life when she learns her ex-husband is one of the killer's first victims. Despite the shock and fear, she is drawn to the detective assigned to the case - tall, dark, handsome, rogue-cop Reuben Montoya. As the two fight their attraction to one another, the body count increases and all signs lead to Abby as the next victim. | ||

Curling up with a cup of hot coffee by a roaring fire on a cold day. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
Lisa Jackson's style is easy and enjoyable to read. She presents technical material relevant to the story in easy-to-understand terms without 'talking down' to the reader. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Ms. Jackson had a tendency toward rendundance in this book. I understood the reasoning behind rehashing certain plot points, but found it tiresome as well. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
This was the first book I've ever read by Lisa Jackson, but I would happily read another. I found her style and characters engaging. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It is an engrossing tale of romantic suspense with well-rounded characters and an interesting plot with great twists. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I really must learn to be a mere 'reader' again, because for the third time in a row I found myself nit-picking a book I intended to read for pure enjoyment. As with the others, I found problem areas reminiscent of my own flaws, and wondered (again) how others get published with these flaws in the first place. Despite that annoying habit I've picked up, I truly enjoyed the book and would happily read others by Ms. Jackson. | ||
