Suspenseful and gripping!!!, Aug 6 2011
By bookreader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Born To Die (Mass Market Paperback)
Lisa Jackson's newest book Born to Die was just as good as I had could have imagined. The main character Kacey was so fascinating and had so much depth and character to her. I really felt compelled to her and wanted to see her kept safe. I found myself getting lost in the story and finished it all in a weekend. I have always enjoyed the town of Grizzly Falls in Montana and all of it's unique characters. What a great idea to have this series of books happen in such a small and remote town. It makes it that much more bone chilling to think it could happen anywhere and to anyone. I've always been a fan of the Alvarez/ Pescoli team. What a dynamic female duo! After the last book Chosen to Die I almost feel like I'm right along the two ladies helping to solve all these cases! With the body count rising I never knew who to suspect and who was innocent. Lisa Jackson did it again! The To Die Series has fast become my favorite set of books!

LOVE THIS BOOK, Aug 14 2011

At first I hesitated about buying this book because of a few of the reviews but finally purchased it and I am so glad I did. It was one of her best books and I have read them all. It was hard to put down. If you like Lisa Jackson, don't hesitate to read this book.

Liked book but needs to research small town Montana, Aug 1 2011
By Elizabeth E. Nunley "Cat lover in Renton" - Published on Amazon.com
I generally liked the book; but as a small Montana town native am disappointed in how Ms. Jackson obviously did no research. No small Montana town that I have ever heard of has more than one medical clinic -- they are lucky to have one doctor let alone several. None would have a crime lab and absolutely none would have more than one hospital. I haven't lived in Montana for several years but I would guess that the only crime lab in the state is in Helena. If the body of a teacher had been found in any small Montana town, everyone would know who it was instantly -- no Jane Doe. And believe me they would not have two homicide detectives (more like the elected sheriff and maybe a deputy)
At one time she refers to the same weapon as a rifle and as a shotgun, which is it?
On the whole it was a good story. I would have found it much more blievable if she had set the entire novel in Missoula rather than the fictional small town of Grizzly Falls. There is no way all of her characters could have lived in an acutal small Montana town. I grew up in small town Montana and went to college in Missoula. Please do more research next time.
