Book Description:
First One Dead Body...

A prostitute lies strangled in a seedy French Quarter hotel room. Miles away, in a rambling plantation house on the sultry shores of Lake Ponchartrain, popular late-night radio host Dr. Samantha Leeds receives a threatening crank call. All in a day's work for a celebrity. Who would think to link the two?

Then Another...

A second hooker's corpse turns up. Samantha's ominous caller persists, along with a mysterious female claiming to be a woman from her past -- a woman who's been dead for years. With Detective Rick Bentz convinced that the serial killer prowling the shadowy streets of New Orleans is somebody close to Samantha, she doesn't dare trust anyone. Especially not Ty Wheeler, her seductive new neighbor who seems to know more about her than a stranger should.

...And another

Somebody has discovered Samantha's darkest secret. Somebody is convinced that lives must be sacrificed to pay for her sins. So far, the victims have been strangers. Prostitutes. But as a cunning, cold-blooded killer grows bolder, Samantha wonders in dread if she will be the next to die...

This book was not very good to me, which was a very big disappointment! The first Lisa Jackson book I read was Shiver and I loved it. But this one could not hold my interest. I think it was because I was not very into the main character. Dr Sam was pretty boring. The only thing I liked about her was that she found a good man. But other then that, she was snoozesville. I am, although, looking forward to reading the compainion book, Cold Blooded.

This was suspenseful book that keeps you up until the end. It doesn't end like you would think it would. It was well written.

This like all of Lisa Jackson books, is super. Lisa keeps you in suspense to the very end. You keep thinking that you have figured out you is the killer, only to find out it is the person that you least suspect. A must read.
If you read this then you want to read Cold Blooded, which is the second one in this series.

The romance took a back seat to the murders so don't let the title scare you off.

Another one of the books i picked up on a whim, and it sat in my "to be read" pile for weeks. With nothing else to read i gave it a shot. I was not disappointed. It grabs you right away and has so many layers, it was hard to figure out who the killer was. Jackson kept me in suspense until the very end. Samantha is a late night radio "shrink", escaping from a terrible incident in Houston, but it has followed her to New Orleans. Ty Wheeler was a part of the Houston investigation, and is in New Orleans to meet Samantha so he can right a book. Little did he know he would fall for her and be immersed in the killers new game of revenge. Definitely a page-turner.

My second Lisa Jackson book, after reading "absolute Fear". I did not want to put the book down. The pace is fast and she puts a hint of guilt on different characters to keep you in suspense. I like the characters Bentz and Montoya, so much that I am reading that series in order of publication.
