Review
“Jackson’s latest is a fabulous fast-paced, tightly plotted thriller with so many twisty angles, no Vegas bookie would make odds. The character development is superb, and the police investigation and Remmi’s need for answers rings true. The authors managing of the past and present separately is an effective method of clue dangling to keep readers in the dark until the huge OMG reveal. Fans of Lisa Gardner, Paula Hawkins, and J.T. Ellison will devour this one-sitting nail-biter.”—Library JournalSTARRED REVIEW for Liar, Liar
“The title of Lisa Jackson's latest, Paranoid, is pretty apt, considering it will have your nerves frayed before you're even halfway through reading it.” —Popsugar on Paranoid
"Bestselling Jackson jam-packs the plot of her latest nail-biting novel with plenty of unexpected twists and turns, making Liar, Liar a terrific choice for readers who enjoy their literary adrenaline fixes on the darker side of the suspense spectrum." —Booklistfor Liar, Liar
"A twisty, suspenseful romantic thriller… The many threads of this action-packed mystery are tied together by the mesmerizing, larger-than-life character of Didi Storm, who haunts the book to its final pages." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW for Liar, Liar “
This suspenseful thriller is packed with jaw-dropping twists.” —InTouch, Grade A for You Will Pay
“If you tend to reach for a twisty, intense thriller for your beach reads, then this is the book for you. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, You Will Pay will have you glued to the storyline.” —Martha Stewart Weddings on You Will Pay
“This acclaimed author is back to captivate her fans. And as always, the fans are gifted with a real page-turner… A ‘class-A’ writer who can combine everything from romance to suspense to a real creep fest as easily as Martha Stewart can create a killer cupcake, Jackson has made sure to invent a story where everyone will go home to the ‘place’ they love and…think twice about going inside. Excellent read!” —Suspense Magazine on Close to Home

5.0 out of 5 stars Book
Kept me riveted throughout the book. Will be reading more of this author's books
4.0 out of 5 stars Good story
I liked the mystery with its twists. This is my first with this author. I found it a bit wordy with unnecessary descriptions. For me, it sometimes got in the way.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great mystery to try to piece together
A bit gruesome but a page turning mystery that holds the reader’s attention — especially in the last 75-100 pages. Don’t expect to put the book down for sleep once you get to the final 100 pages!Several mysteries to unravel in this complicated story. Was there just one murderer? Did that murderer just get out of jail? Were there several murderers? How to they all fit together? What happened to Marlie? Is Marlie the girl who survived or is Kara the girl who survived?By the end, the reader will think that justice has prevailed in the case of the murders. However, all the financial shenanigans are still pending judgment and will never be properly resolved.Finally, not a great holiday read — especially if the prediction is for snow! Find something more festive and enjoy the carols!
3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Crime But Didn’t Like Main Character…
Sadly, this was my first Lisa Jackson book and I had high hopes. I looked at the length and hesitated but figure I’d give her a chance. My biggest struggle (and there were many) was how unappealing the main character Kara was. We have sympathy for her as a child for her horrible ordeal but as an adult she’s a disappointment. There really weren’t any likable characters in the whole story. Marlie’s story was ridiculous and stretched credulity. The story had potential but it just didn’t deliver. Don’t think I’ll be rushing out to get another Lisa Jackson book since this one was just one long muddle. Three stars at best.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very good story line, well wrtten

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Bought as gift, part of a boo basket. Recipient loved it.
Excellent read as always!
I couldn't understand why this book by the always brilliant Lisa Jackson had only four stars, and I still can't. Always, full of interesting characters and intricate plots. Wonderful experience yet again and I can't wait to read her next book whichever comes my way. Thank you Ms Jackson and keep them coming!!!
Great story!
Lisa Jackson is one of my favourite authors. Always a good read.
Welch ein Preis für ein Leben
In Lisa Jacksons packendem Thriller »The Girl Who Survived«, steht eine junge Frau vor der Herausforderung ihres Lebens: Zwanzig Jahre nach dem Massaker an ihrer Familie, muss sie alles daransetzen, die Wahrheit hinter den Morden zu enthüllen – um ihr eigenes Leben zu retten. Der Thriller »The Girl Who Survived« ist unabhängig von Lisa Jacksons Reihen lesbar.Es war ein Tag, der ihr Leben zu einem Albtraum machte: Am Heiligabend entkam die damals 7-jährige Kara knapp einem Mörder, der einen Teil ihrer Familie tötete. Jetzt, fast zwanzig Jahre später, wird ihr Halbbruder Jonas, der für die Morde verurteilt war, unerwartet freigelassen. Zur gleichen Zeit beginnt Kara, rätselhafte Nachrichten zu erhalten, und sie wird das Gefühl nicht los, dass diese in Verbindung mit ihrer älteren Schwester stehen könnten. Marlie, die sie an jenem furchtbaren Heiligabend dazu zwang, sich zu verstecken und von der seitdem jede Spur fehlt. Während Kara noch versucht, die jüngsten Ereignisse zu begreifen, geschieht ein Mord in ihrem Umfeld. Bald schon fürchtet Kara wieder um ihr Leben …Lisa Jackson beherrscht die Kunst, Spannung nicht nur durch den Inhalt, sondern auch durch die Struktur der Kapitel zu erzeugen. Indem sie den verschiedenen Figuren eine Fülle von Geschichten verleiht, schafft sie ein breites Konfliktpotenzial. In diesem Roman liegt der Fokus jedoch weniger auf den Ermittlungen, sondern vielmehr auf den Beziehungen zwischen den Beteiligten, die teilweise über eine zwanzigjährige Geschichte zurückreichen. Zwischen Verwandten, Freunden und Freundinnen scheinen die Verhältnisse untereinander nicht immer ganz klar zu sein. Jede Figur verbirgt ein Geheimnis … oder vielleicht auch nicht?Die Art und Weise, wie die Geschichte erzählt wird, hat zur Folge, dass die erste Hälfte des Romans nicht so fesselnd ist, Kapitel für Kapitel betrachtet. Alles dreht sich um die Gedanken von Kara, der Hauptfigur. Ihre Gedanken drehen sich ständig im Kreis, während sie versucht, das Massaker von vor zwanzig Jahren und das Verhalten ihrer Schwester Marlie und ihres Bruders Jonas zu rekonstruieren. Aber das Interessante für die Leser ist, dass man genauso neugierig ist, was damals wirklich passiert ist und wie die Geschichte in der Gegenwart endet.Die Settings von Lisa Jackson haben einen besonderen Reiz. Wenn man ihre Romane liest, wird man feststellen, dass Schnee an Weihnachten immer eine Rolle spielt. »The Girl Who Survived« ist ein eigenständiger Roman, der nicht zu ihren bisherigen Serien gehört. Es lohnt sich, ihn zu lesen! Eine klare Empfehlung für alle Leserinnen und Leser, die sich auf einen spannenden Thriller inmitten des Schneegestöbers freuen dürfen.© Detlef Knut, Düsseldorf 2024
Kein Lektorat
Plot ziemlich weit hergeholt und unschlüssig mit unglaubwürdigem Ende. Psychologie und Motive des Täters und Beteiligten wenig plausibel. Überhaupt bleiben die Personen blass. Stattdessen seitenlanges uninteressantes Füllmaterial, z.B was die Nachrichten gerade bringen während der Cop im Keller über 40 minutenlang trainiert. Wiederholungen, als hätte Autor vergessen, dass sie das nur kurz vorher schon beschrieben hatte. (Z.B. denkt Protagonistin darüber nach, dass sie nicht weiß, wann sie zuletzt was zu essen hatte außer Käse und cracker um kurz darauf wieder die genau dasselbe zu denken, als der Lieferdienst endlich kommt). Das ist schlicht nervig, langweilig und lässt einen fragen, ob es überhaupt sowas wie Beta-reader, geschweige denn ein Lektorat gegeben hat. Die Kindle-Version der englischen Fassung ist zudem durchsetzt von falschen (wahrscheinlich manuell gesetzten) Seitenumbrüchen und Worttrennungen, was den Lesefluss definiert stört durch die ungewollten Absätze, die so entstehen. Scheint generell ein Problem zu sein bei digitalen Kindle Fassungen. Kann mal bitte eine Schulung an Autoren rausgehen über Text Formatierung? !!!
Such an intense story trying to piece together who’s the killer!
Such a good read! I cried at the end and was truly invested. The only downfall was a lot of repetitive information, making it feel like just filler in the writing but otherwise awesome book!
