Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

I love this whole series, would definitely recommend.

Chilling Plot; A Page-turning Novel!

Lisa Jackson has created a believable horror story with twists and turns in the plot that throw readers off as to the identity of this diabolical serial killer. I only wish that there had been a little more hints that it was him. The story held me spellbound from beginning to end. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a fast-paced, interesting read with well-fleshed-out (no pun intended) characters. As the author of "Mamie and the Root Woman", I know how difficult it is to write about something as gruesome as this without resorting to the melodramatic. Great job, Ms. Jackson!

Excellent

I am new to Lisa Jackson, and must say that after reading this book, I will continue to be a fan and look forward to reading much more by this talented author. The story line was excellent and the characters carried with them enough baggage to help you understand their actions. The suspense was awesome and kept me guessing until the very end. I tried so hard to stay awake last night to finish it as the climax was awesome, but alas the work week caught up to me and I couldn't do it. However, along with my cup of coffee this morning I grabbed this book and finishing it was the first thing I did today. Excellent read, highly recommended.

Women are dying...

...And reporter, Nikki Gillette, is hard after the story. She's dubbed the killer The Grave Robber. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to his victims, but Nikki and local cop, Pierce Reed, are determined to find the answers. The murderer is leaving both of them messages. They become unlikely allies...the cop and the reporter. Maybe more than allies? Their feeling grow...but to what end? You see, The Grave Robber isn't done yet. Lisa Jackson crafts a wonderful story with layer upon layer of a who-dunit that is sure to please!

Unputdownable

Lumpkin County, North Carolina Sheriff Baldwin calls Savannah cop Pierce Reed to come immediately to a crime scene in a wooded area as his name was found with the deceased. Pierce is shown a coffin containing two bodies and a microphone. Apparently someone Pierce knows Barbara Jean Marx was buried alive with an existing corpse.Savannah Sentinel reporter Nikki Gillette follows Pierce and his partner Sylvie Morrisette as they try to uncover the identity of a serial killer. The culprit seems to be toying with Pierce as the offender appears to intimately know the cop. As Pierce cannot shake off Nikki, he finds himself falling in love with her, a feeling the journalist reciprocates. Neither one knows the connection Nikki has with the psychopath, but Pierce is willing to risk his life to keep his beloved from being the next person buried alive.The latest Lisa Jackson's Georgia police procedural romance (see THE NIGHT BEFORE) is a solid terse tale that hooks the audience from the eerie opening scene until the climax. The story line never slows down from the moment Barbara Jean knows she has been buried alive with a dead body until the final confrontation between the heroes and the villain. Though the motive for the homicides seems crazy (than again the killer is crazy), fans will appreciate the lead couple and his partner as the stress on each of them from love and from the murders is palpable. Once again Ms Jackson provides a terse romantic suspense with the accent on thriller.Harriet Klausner
