Pretty good book if you like a lot of romance splashed in with an excellent mystery!
I love Lisa Jackson's books and this one did not disappoint.

A Page Turner. Compelling story that kept me reading into the night. Couldn't put this one down. A who done it!
Not a page turner, but an interesting read and a nice love angle to boot.
Another winner by Lisa Jackson. I've read several of her books and have yet to be disappointed. Definitely good reading!!
This has to be my favorite of all the Jackson books!
From the cover: 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.
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.
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...SHIVER
