The Girl Who Survived
by Lisa Jackson
The Girl Who Survived by Lisa Jackson
One night changed much for Kara and her family. Most of her family were slaughtered and though she survived, what she saw changed her forever. Two decades later she is haunted by the past, unable to move forward, and a bit of a basket case. Her brother’s release from prison seems to act as a catalyst for more murders, introspection, and looking for truth…but…will the truth be revealed so many years after the massacre?
What I liked:
* The twisted tale
* The cunningly plotted and written story
* Not knowing for sure what the truth was till nearly the end of the story.
* Detectives Thomas and Johnson and the way they pursued the case(s)
* Tate the father who saved Kara and Tate the son who was there for her twenty years later
* Thinking about what might really have happened…
* The many threads of the story so well woven together to complete the tale
* Kara – though a bit broken and not easy to love…I did admire her tenacity
* The inkling of potential romance between Kara and Tate
* That justice, of sorts, was meted out
What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that people like the ones in this book do exist and that they can ruin so many lives
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
