Shiver Written by Lisa Jackson

Lisa Jackson can write suspense so the reader really does "SHIVER" through most of this book. She does not let her readers down at all with this excellent and chilling tale. Mix an old closed mental hospital, a crazed killer who is positioning his victims in strange ways for some unexplained reasons, a cop that is falling for one that could be a suspect, and you have a whale of a mystery.Abby Chastain's mother had been found dead twenty-years ago on the sidewalk of the mental hospital beneath a window three stories above. This occurred in "Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital" which is located beside a convent that is still inhabited even though the hospital is now closed and supposedly deserted! The circumstances of the death were really unknown. The hospital had called it a suicide but many debated this decision.Abby was divorced when she caught her ex-husband, Luke, in bed with her sister, Zoey, a fact Zoey says was not true because when she and the ex were together, Ab
by and he were not married. That tiny detail kept the two apart for years. Luke was a well-known radio talk-show host. His tirades against many subjects kept him on top of his game but things came to a head when he opened up one day on the air putting down Abby in every way he could. It seems when Luke left he was given a certain period of time to get his things out of the house, but when that time had long gone by, Abby donated most his things to charity, including, Abby thought, a gun that had been in Luke's family for years. That one item really set Luke way off, on the air and off, especially when he talked to Abby on the phone. Things were worse than ever between them.When murders started showing up beginning with the one of Luke and Mary LeBelle, two individuals that was so completely different from each other in everything they did in their lives, the cops started a strong investigation. With someone known as well as Luke, they had their hands full. And, why w
ere the victims placed the way the killer posed them, Luke underneath Mary, completely naked, and Mary thrown across the top of him fully clothed. Abby was suspected because of her on and off the air battles with Luke. Detective Reuben Montoya was one assigned to the case. He started his interviews and investigation that brought many suspects into the picture from Abby to the radio station employees, to others not thought involved with Luke.The spark flared almost immediately between Abby and Montoya. He was having a hard time being open-minded every time Abby came into his thoughts. Many other police joined into this crime along with other agencies when several other killings identical to Luke and Mary's posed murders appeared. What a sick mind this killer must have.The investigation will take you into the convent, the closed mental hospital, several murder sites in the area, the morgue, and into the hearts of Abby and Montoya. Many times the reader will think they h
ave this story figured out but believe me, you won't until you get very near the end. You will get "shivers" as you read. If you are preparing to go to sleep, you better put the book down some time before you do that!
