Praise for Lisa Jackson's Alvarez & Pescoli Series
"Longtime fans of the series should find this installment satisfying, as Jackson continues to develop plot points and themes established in previous tomes, detailing how her two heroines navigate the often treacherous waters of their jobs and personal lives. Newcomers should also enjoy it, as it presents a satisfying, well-written, well-executed standalone mystery, which displays a general good humor even as it ratchets up the tension with each successive chapter." --Mystery Scene on Expecting to Die "Exciting thriller . . . Jackson skillfully interweaves the suspense, deft characterizations and a well-crafted plot." --Publishers Weekly on Born to Die "A very twisted tale!" --Suspense Magazine on Ready to Die "The ins and outs keep you guessing." --The Pilot on Expecting to Die "Jackson is an expert at plot complications and they abound in Expecting to Die." --The Kitsap Sun "The latest in Lisa Jackson's appealing series involving Montana detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez, and it wastes no time gripping readers . . . a real page-turner, suspenseful and genuinely scary in places, and if you exclude the possibility of slaughters by the mythic Big Foot, it should keep readers guessing. A Grade- A thriller! And no, you certainly don't have to believe in Big Foot!" --PCA/ACA Mystery & Detective Fiction Reading List on Expecting to Die "You can't go wrong with a thriller from this author." --The Pilot on Afraid to DieAuthor Biography
