As Good as Dead was a very good romantic suspense novel. This book has quite a few important characters and doesn't really focus primarily on the hero and heroine. Jacob Butler and Reve Sorrell are given a satisfying story, but the book also continues the relationship of Jazzy Talbot and Caleb McCord. I was glad to see more of Jazzy and Caleb, as I wasn't convinced that issues between them were resolved after the second book in the series.

This book has quite a few important characters and doesn't really focus primarily on the hero and heroine. Jacob Butler and Reve Sorrell are given a satisfying story, but the book also continues the relationship of Jazzy Talbot and Caleb McCord. I was glad to see more of Jazzy and Caleb, as I wasn't convinced that issues between them were resolved after the second book in the series. I felt much better about their chances for a happy ever after when I read this book. Although I really enjoyed the first book of the trilogy, this one was my favorite.

Reve Sorrell and Jazzy Talbot believe that they are twin sisters. When a DNA test confirms this, Reve hires a prominent private detective to investigate the truth of their parentage. As Reve and Jazzy spend time together getting to know one another, a killer who has strangled redheaded victims for thirty years begins to lose control. As the frequency of his killing sprees intensify, Jazzy, and later Reve, become targets of his rage and desire. The danger around the twins increases as someone else has reason to want them dead as well. The animosity that has been present since Reve met Jacob Butler escalates and then finally collapses as they give in to desire for one another. Tangled events and individuals complicate the lives of Jazzy and Reve, and as they learn their history, their lives are placed in even greater risk. Although Jacob and Caleb are determined to protect them, it may not be enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although there were some events related to Jazzy that I would have preferred not to have happened. However, I was satisfied at how everything turned out in the end. I enjoyed seeing Dallas and Genny in the book, but the story was really about Reve, Jazzy, Caleb, and Jacob. They were all great characters, and I enjoyed reading about their relationships. The Cherokee Pointe trilogy was very likeable, and I will be reading more by Beverly Barton....less
