Lisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of over ninety-five novels, including the Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya Series, the Pescoli and Alvarez Series, the Savannah series, and numerous stand alone novels. She also is the co-author of One Last Breath, Last Girl Standing, and the Colony Series, written with her sister and bestselling author Nancy Bush, as well as the collaborative novels Sinister and Ominous, written with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan. There are over thirty million copies of her novels in print and her writing has been translated into twenty languages.
Before she became a nationally bestselling author, she was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists.
With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.
I picked this short story up for free at audible several years ago and decided that it was time that I finally took the time to listen to it. I thought it was okay. It kept me entertained but I thought the big twist was a bit too much to be even close to believable.
I liked this story. A boy dies by falling out a window. We find out at the end that the boy was a result of Frankie raping his cousin. The boy's mom tries to get him out of the home where he is being abused but Frankie tried to stop it. The boys falls out the window and dies. Frankie goes nuts and is out in a mental institute. We don't find out he is a man till the end. We think he is a woman. He dresses up as a woman to kill the mom but shoots her ex husband instead. It was a good little twist.

I’m a no spoiler gal so I’ll say it was a bit boring at first but then I got kind of into it and found myself audibly saying “wait” “no” “that’s not right” and then I was just confused because it kind of just ends.
This was a very quick read, and you do find out what happened, but I feel the story still leaves you hanging. I love Lisa’s books and will continue reading them, though.
This short murder mystery was narrated by a woman, so it took me a while to figure out that the "I" who was speaking was actually a man. Definitely caught my attention and I'd like to read on to see what happens next.
