" I'm not sure I will be reading anymore Lisa Jackson books as I've found the more I read them, the weaker I find them. I felt this one especially was really, really repetitive. Cissy would tell Jack to leave, he would stay, she would accept it. The next morning she would 'come to her senses', he would leave - then return the same day, and she would make weak protests and accept it. Meanwhile her family members are getting bumped off so a bit of the chapter would be about that and how Cissy was panicking. Combined with the constant talk of the murderer trying to convince the escapee prisoner to move around the house (I'd like to know how many times the phrase "keep the curtains/blinds/drapes closed" was written) and straight up rude comments from Jack's sister (and barely anyone calling her out on it...) I just felt like I was reading the same chapter over and over with a new family members name put in as the murder victim. It was not interesting. "
