The two detectives moved the story along, but the H/H didn’t. Frustrated by all the small chit chat and internal moaning and groaning when I wanted to know what the villains were doing. Excellent story premise though. ( )

In If She Only Knew we meet the Cahill family, (click here for my review), Almost Dead continues the story 10 years later with Marla's daughter, Cissy Cahill.

Cissy is married now with a toddler son. Her world appears to be falling apart, her marriage is failing and then the people closest to her start dieing, being murdered actually. Cissy herself is being stalked. Detective Anthony Paterno has returned and is the investigating officer.

As the police put the pieces together and the killer draws closer, a secret from the past holds the key to solving the case.

Once again Lisa Jackson draws the reader into another world, a world where fear rules and twisted individuals are willing to do anything to get what they want. While you could read this novel without reading the first one, I think it is much more enjoyable if you already have a basic knowledge of some of the characters in Almost Dead. The twists in this novel are thrilling, once again with unexpected turns and a surprise if not a total shock at the end makes this another winner. ( )

I really liked this one. It's been awhile since I had read anything by Lisa Jackson, having in my mind that all her books where some how the same. But it paid me well to read it, not sure if there is a sequel too this one or if this was a book to a sequel? She likes too use the same characters in so many of her books, but I finished it in 3 days. ( )
