Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A woman is frantic as she awakens in a dark, closed space. From above her comes the muffled sound of cruel laughter, followed by the hard splatter of dirt. Pure terror takes over as she realizes she's being buried alive, and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear. To journalist Nikki Gillette, this disturbing story is a ticket out of small - town Savannah and on to the big time. She's already given the killer a nickname - The Grave Robber - and she's spending every minute dogging tough cop Pierce Reed's investigation, trailing him through Savannah's deep thickets and crumbling cemeteries...even though she's starting to wonder about the secrets he's keeping. Another body is found...and another. Each gruesome discovery unnerves Nikki a little more...there's something familiar about it, something she should know. Now, as a serial killer pulls her ever deeper into his sick game, she has no idea how close she's getting to the truth - or how deadly it will be.

While the book is well-written and keeps you guessing, I couldn't give this one any more stars because the character of Nikki was so unlikeable that it was impossible to care about her or do anything other than hope she'd be buried alive. Reed wasn't much better, but at least he was tolerable when he was with Morrisette.
LJ has written better...don't feel bad skipping this one.

Great book. I did not want to put it down. It moves fast. I can see why she is a best seller. The murder is really a monster. This one gets up under you. A must read.

This book, received second hand in a box from a Freecycle member, was my introduction to Lisa Jackson. I love stumbling authors I've never read, especially if we hit it off, their books and me.
I found this novel highly readable. The friction between fellow reporters, coupled with the animosity between law enforcement and members of the press, is a natural here. Her characters are real, as is the dialog.
The premise of a serial killer burying his victims alive, buddied up with corpses, is chilling. I felt terrible for the victims, hoped for their rescues. Jackson has a flair for the macabre, but her writing surpasses that of the average thriller. I did figure out who The Survivor was, but not until late in the story; she did a good job of building up a couple of strong suspects.
I'll be finding more of her books!

This novel began with a very chilling circumstance and just got better and better. Nikki Gillette, bless her shallow little heart, was not very good at recognizing danger until it came and bit her. The police seemed very competent in this story, not just one or two mavericks who were on the job, but the force as a whole seemed to be actually doing a good job investigating. Reed was a fine character and I ended up just loving Nikki despite her character flaws. These were great characters in a great situation, doing battle with a truly twisted killer. The final scene where Nikki was in trouble was excellent, although I kind of guessed how she was going to ...well, her father's leg was a clue foreshadowed early in the book. Anyway, in her situation, I don't think I could have been calm enough to think like that. I guess that's why she's the heroine and I'm not. I did not figure out who the bad guy was until it was actually revealed. Lisa Jackson does a great job with the suspense. She throws in enough romance but doesn't go overboard with that. This is an easy book to recommend. The second book I've read by Lisa Jackson. I just bought a couple more and am anxious to read them.

This one had me forgetting to breath at times due to the excitement and dread, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Lisa is the best!
