The Morning After by Lisa Jackson


The Morning After

Where Jackson might have shone, she chose not to. The Savannah police contacted an FBI profiler, but no profile is ever generated. Conflict between investigators is never fully explored, and may have been a lot more interesting than the long descriptions of Nikki Gillette's discomfort with the newspaper's technical guru. Gillette's brother had committed suicide-or was it an accident?-before this story; how about some of that? To call this a psychological thriller would be stretching.

Maybe Jackson didn't want to include all that stuff. Maybe this was a romantic thriller and she didn't want to go into police procedure and familial relationship dynamics. That's fine. Now I know her writing style and my reading preferences don't mesh. Would I recommend this book? Sure, if you get it for free.
