Publisher Description
Beyond the old-world charm and jasmine-scented air of Savannah, Georgia, there are dark secrets swirling, and one woman finds herself at the heart of a nightmare in this atmospheric suspense thriller from #1 bestselling author Lisa Jackson.
Book 1 in the blockbuster Pierce Reed and Nikki Gillette Series is now in trade paperback for the first time!
The dream is vivid and terrifying. In it, Caitlyn sees her estranged husband’s body slumped over his desk, his lifeless eyes unblinking. But the reality Caitlyn wakes to is even worse. She’s covered in blood, with no memory of the night before. When the police arrive, they confirm that Josh has been found dead in a suspected homicide.
Being part of one of Savannah’s most influential and wealthy families puts Caitlyn at the center of rumors and whispers. Everyone knows her relationship with Josh had disintegrated after a tragic loss, and he was preparing to divorce her, taking as much of her fortune as he could. Even her twin sister, Kelly, seems determined to keep her distance once Caitlyn becomes a prime suspect. With no one else to turn to, Caitlyn consults the town’s new psychologist, though she dreads discovering what happens during her increasingly frequent blackouts.
Yet there’s more to fear. One by one, those closest to her are dying in grisly ways. And only time will tell whether Caitlyn will turn out to be the next in the killer’s sights—or guilty of crimes too terrible to remember . . .
Customer Reviews
Great book, but thesaurus needed
The plot is great! I found I didn’t want to put the book down!! However, I gave it 4 stars because I got so annoyed by how many times the word ‘jangled’ appeared. A phone rarely rang, it ‘jangled’ almost every time. Keys jangled. Nerves jangled. Jangled, jangled, jangled. It became distracting. And I’m surprised the editor didn’t catch it either. And I’ve started the next book in the series and I’m early in chapter one and there it is again. Jangled. Ugh.
What a twisted tale
What a twisted plot! This is one of her best (maybe best). We all read and try to figure out who’d done it. This one I didn’t really see coming.Excellent.
The night before The palms
The palms of my hands are red but not bleeding thanks to reading this book. I think maybe I should sue the author. Lord help me as each page I turned only caused me pain. This book was amazing and I hated to stop reading as I only had to because I needed some sleep. Amen 🙏 . I read a lot but never ever have read a book like this. I kept thinking that each page would reveal The Who Done It but only at the last minute did I find out the truth and still wasn’t quite so sure. The author has a heck of a good way to being cruel and keeping you guessing. Please give this one a 10 star rating. Love it like I did. Ole Grandma
