Not having read a thriller in a while, this kept me engaged throughout & I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I thought it a little overdramatic at times & the various characters talking to themselves under their breath was a bit annoying, but a good read overall. ( )

I enjoyed this thriller set in Louisiana. A young mother, hospitalized for mental illness, apparently commits suicide while he two daughters watch. Twenty years later, one of those daughters begins have strange experiences which cause her to wonder just what really happened to her mother so many years ago. A decent mystery, not spectacular, but an enjoyable read for passing the time on a car trip. ( )

I couldn't put this book down! Though it was almost 500 pages long, I read it in about a day and a half, because I was hooked.

Lisa Jackson tells a wonderfully suspenseful story complete with twists and turns, a tiny bit of romance mixed in for good measure.

And though many others who have read this book say that they figured out 'whodunnit' from early on, I didn't see it coming and it kept me guessing until the end.

I eagerly await the sequel, Absolute Fear, due out spring of 2007. ( )
