Description

The first victim is pushed to her death. The second suffers a fatal overdose. The third takes a bullet to the heart. Three down, more to go. They're people who deserve to die. People who are in the way. And when she's finished there will be no one left. Cissy Cahill's world is unravelling fast. One by one, her family are dying. Cissy's right to be afraid - but not for the reasons she thinks. The truth is much more terrifying. Hidden in the shadows of the Cahill family's twisted past is a shocking secret - a secret that will only be satisfied by blood. And Cissy must uncover the deadly truth before it's too late. Fear is coming home - with a vengeance. Set in San Francisco, Lisa Jackson's new novel is a stunning tour-de-force of suspense and excitement.

  • 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.

  • 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.
