Customer Reviews

I liked this book!

I have read one other book by Jill Jones and found it a refreshing change from the formulaic romance writing that shows up everywhere. Her characters are much more realistic and the story is a better blend of romance and suspense without the unbelievably thin characters that pepper many romance books. I recommend this for thinking readers and am going to look for more of her books! Check out - Blind Spot - Romantic Suspense with environmental theme

Wonderful Blending of Past and Present. Excellent Book!

Jill Jones has to be one of the most unique writers today. In one book after another she's managed to weave past and present mysteries into one, spellbinding story. In Bloodline she does it again in a dark tale about one of the most fascinating demons of the past - Jack The Ripper -- and a current copycat killer. The diary in this book is superb, the writing clear and immensely readable, the plot rivoting. You can't go wrong with any of Ms. Jones' books, and Bloodline is possibly her best.

Bloodline

Jill Jones has once again shown why she is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. Her research into the facts behind the story help to make it what it is-a real thriller. You can hardly put the book down or wait to turn the page. Who is to say it couldn't ever happen? Review by D. Robinson

A masterpiece in intrigue as history comes alive!

"Bloodline" is a riveting tale that blends the facts from a highly publicized historical event into a spellbinding contemporary novel. After more than a century, the infamous Jack the Ripper still has the ability to hold our fascination. "Bloodline" keeps the reader entranced as it takes us through the original Ripper murders and a string of present day copycat homicides. Victoria, an FBI profiler, and Jonathan, a Scotland Yard detective, are wonderful characters who have us on the edge of our seats as they race to unmask the present day serial killer by unraveling the facts from the historical slayings. Their solution is captivating and believable. I would love to see this duo reappear in a sequel, continuing to solve the crimes of today and yesteryear. Treat yourself and read this mesmerizing tale of suspense, mystery and romance. You won't be sorry.

Are there killer genes flowing through his veins?

Bloodline is a departure from Jill Jones' previous novels. She deftly and skillfully makes the transition from "intriquing" to "chilling"! Bloodline will keep you rivited from page one. Jones ability to weave the present and the past is, as usual, superbly researched and presented. Her heroins are strong, sensual and human. It is no different with Bloodline's Victoria Thomas. Her emotional relationship with her mother brings you back from the horror of the murders into everyday reality. Beware, however, Jones has a way of describing the murders in chilling and bloody detail. The cold cunningness of the killer's thought process and the demons of another era that haunted him, will make you shiver. Are the genes of Jack the Ripper flowing in his veins? You be the judge...
