Jackson skillfully interweaves the suspense, deft characterizations and a well-crafted plot.” —Publishers Weekly on Born to Die “A very twisted tale!” —Suspense Magazine on Ready to Die "The ins and outs keep you guessing." —The Pilot on Expecting to Die “Jackson is an expert at plot complications and they abound in Expecting to Die.” —The Kitsap Sun “The latest in Lisa Jackson’s appealing series involving Montana detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez, and it wastes no time gripping readers . . . a real page-turner, suspenseful and genuinely scary in places, and if you exclude the possibility of slaughters by the mythic Big Foot, it should keep readers guessing.
