Gripping and suspenseful mystery in this book and more romance than the last.

I bought this book because Lisa Jackson is a great author. I actually found out about her by mistake, but it was a great mishap because I have found another author that really knows what she is doing. If you like books that keep you coming back for more and plots with twists and turns until the very last page, then you really have to read the thrillers by Lisa Jackson. I started out with her book "Shiver" just 6 months ago. I now have 9 of her books and my collection is growing. She also has written romance novels that I have heard great things about. If you have a passion for reading, this author won't let you down.
