Cissy Cahill Holt is going through a multitude of trials.
Her first trial involves her soon to be ex-husband, Jack,
who cannot seem to get it through his head that they are
separated. While trying to reevaluate her marriage, she
has to deal with her child, BJ, who loves his father
dearly. To complicate matters even further, her mother has
escaped from prison, so she has reporters and police
camping out at her house. She thinks that nothing can be
any worse when she arrives at her grandmother's house to
find her dead. She brushes that off as an accident even
though there are homicide detectives on the scene, but when
other members of her family die under mysterious
circumstances, she has to be on the lookout for a killer.
Why would someone start killing off members of her family?
Can her mother be behind these familial murders or not? Is
she in the line of fire?
Anthony Paterno is a homicide detective whose lot in life
seems to be dealing with the Cahill family. He was
involved with putting Marla Cahill behind bars ten years
ago, and now he is determined to find her whereabouts.
When a call comes in involving the Cahill estate, the last
thing he expects to find is Eugenia Cahill dead at the
bottom of her staircase. Is it truly an accident or is
Marla somehow involved? When a second and then a third
member of the family end up murdered, Paterno cannot deny
any connection between the murders. What is the motive?
Could Cissy be murdering her relatives? She is the common
link, and she is under surveillance, but it is a
possibility. He comes up with more questions than he has
answers. After all, what does anyone but family have to
gain from these deaths?
Lisa Jackson has crafted another fantastic spine-tingling
thriller. Her novels are wonderful and multifaceted. I
like that she tells the story through numerous points of
view and brings them all together for a stunning
conclusion. I enjoyed this book and found the Cahill
family fascinating if not a bit disturbing. ALMOST DEAD is
another brilliant novel with many twists and turns. I
highly recommend anything written by Lisa Jackson, and
ALMOST DEAD is a good book to choose.
