The Crimes Are UnthinkableA 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.The Fear Is RealAbby 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.The Truth Is DeadlyAs 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

Ein Körper fiel vom Himmel …« Der Todesschrei ihrer Mutter klingt Abby Chastain noch immer in den Ohren, auch wenn es schon zwanzig Jahre her ist, seit diese aus dem Fenster ihre...
I shouldn't have even bothered reading this one. After picking it up, I had to groan at reading yet another serial killer novel. You would think by the way they're portrayed by writers, that every fifth person in the world is a serial killer. With so many of these types of novels out there, the writ...
Ah ha! For once I got you Lisa Jackson! For once I managed to spot your cleverly disguised red herring and didn't fall for it. Okay, so I didn't manage to figure out who the real killer was but I didn't fall for the ploy! And in the process I thoroughly loved this book. Just in the previous boo...
I liked this one far better then the first 2 in the New Orleans series. There was a good balance of romance and suspense. Although the killer did kind of come out of nowhere. I look forward to the next one which I hope will ties up the loose ends left at the end of Shiver.
