    About this ebook

    The Crimes Are Unthinkable

    A serial killer is turning the Big Easy into his personal playground. The victims are killed in pairs--no connection, no apparent motive, no real clues. It's a very sick game, and it's only just begun.

    The Fear Is Real

    Abby Chastain left New Orleans long ago and for good reason. Now she's back where she feels watched, as if the devil himself is scraping a fingernail along her spine. It doesn't help that Detective Reuben Montoya is convinced she's somehow the key to unlocking these horrible crimes--a mystery that has something to do with Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital, a decaying old asylum where unspeakable crimes were once committed, and a human predator may still wait.

    The Truth Is Deadly

    As more bodies are found in gruesome, staged scenarios, Montoya and Abby are in a desperate race to stop a killer whose terrifying crimes are bringing them ever nearer to a shocking revelation. For the past is never completely gone. Its sins must be avenged. And a twisted psychopath is getting close enough to make them. . .

      READ IN DUTCH

      This was the first book I read by Lisa Jackson, and the premise was really promising. It starts off very good as well. So after reading about 50 pages, my expectations were pretty high...



      Unfortunately is the rest of the story nothing special. It even became predictable and - due to endless repetition- boring at times. Such a shame, because it started of pretty good, and I feel like the novel could have been so much better.
    • 4/5
      I couldn't put this book down! Though it was almost 500 pages long, I read it in about a day and a half, because I was hooked. Lisa Jackson tells a wonderfully suspenseful story complete with twists and turns, a tiny bit of romance mixed in for good measure. And though many others who have read this book say that they figured out 'whodunnit' from early on, I didn't see it coming and it kept me guessing until the end.I eagerly await the sequel, Absolute Fear, due out spring of 2007.
    • 4/5
      Not having read a thriller in a while, this kept me engaged throughout & I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I thought it a little overdramatic at times & the various characters talking to themselves under their breath was a bit annoying, but a good read overall.
    • 3/5
      This was not the page turner I was hoping for. In the past, I have loved Lisa Jackson's works. This is a necessary read for the Montoya/Benz series.
    • 4/5
      I have a little collection of Lisa Jackson novels. However, I see that I have only read a handful of her novels. Lisa writes historical romance and comtemporary romance, but her bread and butter is romantic suspence. I easily pass up Lisa's books on my shelf in favor of something else because part of the time her books are really good, the other part of the time they are only fair. This one, however, was a really good one. The story got off to a quick start and then stayed on track. Abby has a history in New Orleans. Her mother suffered from mental illness and was institutionalized. On her 35th birthday she fell/ jumped out of a window and died. Now, the institution is being torn down. Abby is divorced and ready to leave New Orleans. She puts her house of the market and makes plans to move on with her life. But, her philandering ex husband is murdered and Abby becomes suspect number one, then a potential victim. The Sexy cop investigating the murders, Montoya, believes there is a link between the old asylum and Abby, and the murders. The mystery was good. There is nothing more creepy than an old asylum. The romance between Abby and Montoya ( who seemed to have so many first names, using his last name was easier on everyone), was rushed and didn't have all that much fire. But, this is not one of those books where half the book is sex and the other half plot. The romance wasn't the main focus. There will be more to come from the detective duo of Bentz and Montoya in the next book, which will tie up a few loose ends regarding Abby's mother.Overall a B
    • 5/5
      In this book the serial killer killed by the seven deadly sins and seven contrary virtues. The Story was full of suspense, alot of twist and turns. I really liked this book.
    • 4/5
      Detective Ruben Montoya ("Cold Blooded") is back, investigating the murder of a local shock jock and a female college student headed for a nunnery. Still grieving the loss of his lover Marta, the last thing he wants is to get involved with the prime suspect - the victim's wife Abby Chastain. ackson does a great job keeping the killer under wraps (so much so that we are not aware of him until the final act); throwing out numerous possible suspects. The killer's inspired MO is clever and ingenious. But the revelation of the culprit was a let down after such a gripping tale, marring what could have been a perfect story.
    • 5/5
      very good. loved the story line. reader was excellent.
    • 1/5
      I shouldn't have even bothered reading this one. After picking it up, I had to groan at reading yet another serial killer novel. You would think by the way they're portrayed by writers, that every fifth person in the world is a serial killer. With so many of these types of novels out there, the writer needs to do a strong job of distinguishing it from the pack. This novel not only fails to that, it doesn't work at all. The characters are weak. The plot is generic. The melodrama is constant. There is nothing remotely believable in the story. In other words, don't bother reading this. It is a waste of time.Carl Alves - author of Two For Eternity
