I read a lot of reave reviews about Lisa Jackson, and maybe she's just not my cup of tea. She writes really well, but this book didn't hold my interest. There were a lot of colorful characters and she could have gone a few different directions, but really didn't. It was just so-so for me, I probably won't read another Lisa Jackson book -- but I seem to be among the minority as from what I've read, others really really like her.
