About this audiobook
The Crimes Are Unthinkable
A serial killer is turning the Big Easy into his personal playground. The victims are killed in pairs—no connection, no apparent motive, no real clues. It's a very sick game, and it's only just begun.
The Fear Is Real
Abby Chastain left New Orleans long ago and for good reason. Now she's back where she feels watched, as if the devil himself is scraping a fingernail along her spine. It doesn't help that Detective Reuben Montoya is convinced she's somehow the key to unlocking these horrible crimes—a mystery that has something to do with Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital, a decaying old asylum where unspeakable crimes were once committed, and a human predator may still wait.
The Truth Is Deadly
As more bodies are found in gruesome, staged scenarios, Montoya and Abby are in a desperate race to stop a killer whose terrifying crimes are bringing them ever nearer to a shocking revelation. For the past is never completely gone. Its sins must be avenged. And a twisted psychopath is getting close enough to make them. . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good thriller. Never guessed the identity of the killer. Looking forward to the next book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I picked this up unaware it was part of a series, apparently being the third book in the series, however that being said reading the book out of order I didn't feel it was missing any elements that detracted from the reading experience. There's enough background of each character and their present circumstances for the book to stand on its own, although there are call backs to prior events that do make you aware something has gone before, but not to the detriment of the narrative.Overall, it was a decent serial killer book, set around a mental hospital and events of the past. There's some romance/sex scenes there that seem targeted towards the female audience yet not to the point of derailing the story as you would find in some men-writing-women books.Would recommend for readers who are fans of crime and serial killer novels.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Detective Ruben Montoya ("Cold Blooded") is back, investigating the murder of a local shock jock and a female college student headed for a nunnery. Still grieving the loss of his lover Marta, the last thing he wants is to get involved with the prime suspect - the victim's wife Abby Chastain. ackson does a great job keeping the killer under wraps (so much so that we are not aware of him until the final act); throwing out numerous possible suspects. The killer's inspired MO is clever and ingenious. But the revelation of the culprit was a let down after such a gripping tale, marring what could have been a perfect story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5READ IN DUTCH
This was the first book I read by Lisa Jackson, and the premise was really promising. It starts off very good as well. So after reading about 50 pages, my expectations were pretty high...
Unfortunately is the rest of the story nothing special. It even became predictable and - due to endless repetition- boring at times. Such a shame, because it started of pretty good, and I feel like the novel could have been so much better. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was not the page turner I was hoping for. In the past, I have loved Lisa Jackson's works. This is a necessary read for the Montoya/Benz series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this book the serial killer killed by the seven deadly sins and seven contrary virtues. The Story was full of suspense, alot of twist and turns. I really liked this book.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I shouldn't have even bothered reading this one. After picking it up, I had to groan at reading yet another serial killer novel. You would think by the way they're portrayed by writers, that every fifth person in the world is a serial killer. With so many of these types of novels out there, the writer needs to do a strong job of distinguishing it from the pack. This novel not only fails to that, it doesn't work at all. The characters are weak. The plot is generic. The melodrama is constant. There is nothing remotely believable in the story. In other words, don't bother reading this. It is a waste of time.Carl Alves - author of Two For Eternity
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very good. loved the story line. reader was excellent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not having read a thriller in a while, this kept me engaged throughout & I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I thought it a little overdramatic at times & the various characters talking to themselves under their breath was a bit annoying, but a good read overall.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I couldn't put this book down! Though it was almost 500 pages long, I read it in about a day and a half, because I was hooked. Lisa Jackson tells a wonderfully suspenseful story complete with twists and turns, a tiny bit of romance mixed in for good measure. And though many others who have read this book say that they figured out 'whodunnit' from early on, I didn't see it coming and it kept me guessing until the end.I eagerly await the sequel, Absolute Fear, due out spring of 2007.
