A BUSTLE PERFECT VACATION READ

USA Today Bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson comes a new novel of nerve-jangling suspense as a woman haunted by guilt realizes that nothing can be trusted - not even her own memory...

IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS OUT TO GET YOU...

There are people in Edgewater, Oregon, who think that twenty years ago, Rachel Gaston got away with murder. But Rachel still has no idea how a foolish teenaged game turned deadly - or who replaced her soft pellet air gun with a real weapon. When a figure jumped out at her from the darkness, she fired without thinking. By the time she recognized her half-brother, Luke, it was too late. Blood bloomed around his chest....

AND SOMEONE REALLY IS...

Rachel’s horrifying dreams about that night continue. Her anxiety contributed to her divorce from Detective Cade Ryder, though he blames himself too. And now, as Rachel’s high school reunion nears, she feels her imagination playing tricks on her. She’s sure that there’s a hint of unfamiliar cologne in the air. That someone is tailing her car. Watching her home...

THEN YOU’RE NOT PARANOID...

She’s right to be scared. And as connections surface between a new string of murders and Luke’s death, Rachel realizes there’s no escaping the past. And the truth may be darker than her worst fears...

suspenseful

just like all Jackson books, it was great and so many twists and unpredictable. very good read

Good story... narration was hard to listen to

The narrator uses a loud squeaky high pitched voice when she’s doing dialogues between characters. It was hard to listen to and even ended up giving me a headache. The story was good, a little to harlequin romance-y in parts, but it kept me coming back to get to the end. I couldn’t listen for long bouts because the narrator’s voice was like nails on a chalk board.

A gripping thriller!

Great story with many twist and turns. Never saw the end coming! Good narration, but all the women sounded a little dramatic. I did struggle with that part of the narration.

WOW...Just WOW

The narrator brought the story to life for me. I felt every emotion she portrayed. The story itself was great.

Wanted to throat punch the narrator!

I listen to almost 3 audio books a week and to me the narrator either makes or breaks the book. When a character was stressed Christa got all breathless and over the top annoying. Unfortunately there was a lot of stressful situations. Save your credit!

Many twists

I almost stopped reading this book several times. The author drops some big hints so that you think ok it’s obvious just get to it and it doesn’t so then it drags but then you find out it was a red herring then another big hint and you feel it’s dragging once again.
I Think I liked it?

well narrated, very suspenseful & fantastic detail

This was my first exposure to this author and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I most enjoyed the way the narrator read the story. At times a little bit on the corny side and comical with some of her sound effects, she really helped bring the imagery of the story to life. I agree that there is a lot of build and up a lot of detail to the story which makes some sections drag on a bit longer then they probably need to. However, I appreciate the very descriptive writing because as you are listening you can thoroughly envision exactly what is being conveyed. I also agree that the excellent build-up of the storyline with all the twists and turns is not supported by the rush at the end of the novel to tie up all the loose ends and bring everything together. Overall, it was a very good listen and I will definitely read more from Lisa Jackson .

Love

I love this whole book Love that I keeps you guessing to the very end I love that there maybe second chance For the characters

Great book!!

Great book! The twist at the end was unexpected but really good!. Highly recommend. Good narrator.

Narrator was shrill

The story was ok but not like the other Lisa Jackson favorites. The narrator was fine talking but shrill as hell speaking for the female characters especially Rachel. I had to turn the volume 3 seconds into the book. Because of this I can’t tell if the story was awful or the character Rachel was shrill and weak.
