Tell Me by Lisa JacksonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book in the Detective Pierce Reed and journalist Nikki Gillette series are again together in the middle of trying to solve a murder mystery and hopefully Nikki will be able to write her next novel based on the story.
From the prologue, you follow a multi -layered mystery of a Blondell OHenry, convicted, after the testimony given by her 8 year old son, 20 years earlier for the murder of her daughter, Amity and shooting and injuring her two small sons, is about to be freed after her son recants his testimony.
Nikki has a connection to the crime. Amity had been her best friend and had phoned her on the night she was murdered, telling her that she needed to tell her something very important. But Nikki was unable to meet up with her and has always felt that she may have been able to save her from dying. And then, there’s her uncle, who was Blondell’s lawyer at the time of her trial.
Nikki soon begins digging into the O’Henry family past and is soon stone-walled by everyone involved in the tragedy, which just makes Nikki more determined to find out what really happened that terrible night.
Some of the characters she encounters in her quest for the truth are uncouth and unhelpful and at times damn right scary and dangerous and some may even harm her from keeping the truth coming out. Willing to kill to keep secrets hidden.
Suspense, thrills, more killings, twists and turns that just kept me at the edge of my seat and asking….who did it?????
There are so many questions in this story and I have to be honest and say that I never ever guessed the answers that we get at the end.
There is some romance in the story – after all Nikki & Pierce are now an engaged couple but the main focus is in the mystery of case.
Another good read by this author. I really enjoy her books.
