8. Left to Die by Lisa Jackson

about the book

NOTHING'S MORE TERRIFYING . . .
One by one, the victims are carefully captured, toyed with, then subjected to a slow and agonizing death. Piece by piece, his exquisite plan takes shape. The police can't yet see the beauty in his work-but soon, very soon, they will . . .
THAN BEING LEFT ALONE . . .
In the lonely woods around Grizzly Falls, Montana, four bodies have been discovered. Detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli have been hoping for a career-making case, but this is a nightmare. Even with the FBI involved, Selena and Regan have nothing to go on but a killer's cryptic notes, and the unsettling knowledge that there is much worse to come . . .
TO DIE . . .
When Jillian Rivers opens her eyes, she's trapped in a mangled car. Then a stranger, claiming to be a trail guide named Zane MacGregor, pries her free. Though she's grateful, something about him sets Jillian on edge. And if she knew what lay out there in the woods of Montana, she'd be truly terrified. Because someone is waiting . . . watching . . . poised to strike and make Jillian the next victim . . .

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of suspense. This book came out in August of 2008 and I usually read her books as soon as I get them. For some reason I kept overlooking this one. I am kind of glad that I did. There will be another book Chosen to Die in Aug of 2009. One of the story lines continues in that book. So had I read this book in August I might have been annoyed with waiting a year to find out who the bad person is. But since August is just around the corner,it is not that big of a deal to me.

I've missed you! This book sounds great! I have a few Lisa Jackson books to read but just haven't gotten around to them yet. I will have to add this one to my list.

Are you sure August is just around the corner? I swear it feels like winter has been around forever and is not going away. I am really getting to the point where I can't stand it anymore, so if you say August is right around the corner then May has got to be right here, right? Right?!?!

Kristie- I have a cold that will not go away so when I am not at work. I have been watching mindless tv and trying to read.
Yes August is right around some corner. I am so tired of winter. Have I mentioned lately that I hate snow and cold
May is also around the corner and will be showing up sooner than August.

Tell me about it. I think this winter has been so long and we have at least another 2 months of it. Are you guys getting hit with this newest storm? Hopefully, we are north enough that we should only be getting 4 inches of snow. I could have sworn earlier this year they said this was supposed to be a mild winter! We haven't been above freezing in 2009 and probably before Christmas!

Kristie I was glad to be off today. We got hit with the storm. On tuesday it was snowing. Overnight we had ice. This morning it was raining and then it went back to snow. I am so tired of it all. I need some warmth and some hot sun filled days.
