Book Review: Chosen To Die (9781420102772): Lisa Jackson: Books
Another winner……,
By S. Bivins “southern reader” -
I also read Left to Die last year and have been waiting for this sequel. I was not disappointed. Lisa Jackson has once again written another “can’t put it down” novel. And, also in Ms. Jackson’s style…she left some things “unsaid” and “undone” so maybe we can look forward to a third in this series.
I love “whodunits” and once again she got me…..I love that….
I read this in one day and I don’t normally find too many “can’t put down” books, but I can always count on Lisa Jackson for that….thank you Ms. Jackson..keep doing what your doing…..
I would highly recommend reading Left to Die first. Although, this novel can stand alone, reading the first book will be greatly beneficial. it is great also. So get both books and enjoy.
Better than the first, but still not 100% for Jackson fans,
By L. Acheson “CanadaBelle” (Sumas, WA) -
Having read Left to Die (the first book), I was pleasantly surprised to find this book is written better and is more in line with what Lisa Jackson fans expect. It’s still not at full potential.
Pros: Regan’s story deserved its own novel. I wanted more backstory on her relationship with Nate, but Lisa gave enough sketches that my imagination could gnaw on the missing pieces. It was also a setup for Alvarez & Grayson — hopefully they’ll get their own book soon! And Lisa avoided tying up the kid/parent relationship too neatly, so bravo for that. It’s always nice, too, to see women with some brains and brawn, even if they sometimes revert.
Cons: I still didn’t feel that the motivation for the characters to behave in a certain way was there or that it was consistent. It always seemed to take the characters a long time to get around to doing what the reader thought they should be doing 2 chapters ago. The killer’s motivation, too, is still sketchy, but I think Lisa’s holding back for the next book. And poor Regan kept forgetting how to be a cop at crucial moments. There were some contrivances to try & “up” the suspense level.
Overall, if you’re a fan of Lisa Jackson, pick up this book. If you’re new to her work, skip this in favor of older choices. If I could have given it 3.5 I would have. I decided to round up because I’m a long-time fan.
