Title: great read
Review: Bringing Lisa Jackson out as a hardback is long overdue. She is one of those authors with the ability to balance compelling characters, a plot that dials up the thrill index, just the right mix of romance and a setting that makes a difference. In this case New Orleans and an insane asylum provide the backdrop for Abby Chastain's accelerating terror as Det. Montoya, a recurring character, grapples with an accumulating set of victims that point toward Abby. Jackson's novels have been pegged Romantic Suspense, but the intensity here seems more like a Thriller. Recently I read, SHADOW OF DEATH, by Patricia Gussin. The jacket blurbs all said Medical Suspense because the author is a M.D., but I found it more a mix of Romantic Suspense and can't-put-it-down Thriller. Personally, I like this genre-mix that Lisa Jackson and Patricia Gussin have been able to exploit.
