I really wanted to enjoy this book as I'm a big fan of Lisa Jackson, but I found it pretty hard going.
I felt that going over and over the events of 20 years ago when Luke was shot was very repetitive and I just couldn't bring myself to care about any one in the book.
I really struggled with this one which is a shame

This is my first novel I've read of Lisa Jackson. A twisty psychological novel. Twenty years previously, Rachel Garston shot her step brother Luke in a tragic accident. She has never got over it.
I found it a little hard to get into and there are many characters, but persevered and it is a tense suspenseful story with a brilliant ending. I tried to guess 'whodunnit' but I was wrong. Good novel !!

Murder mystery with a large cast of suspects. What happened twenty years ago and is it connected to the present day murders?
Lots of twists and a surprise ending.

Another enjoyable rollercoaster read from Lisa Jackson. 'Paranoid' will keep you guessing to the bitter end! Twenty years earlier, Rachel Gaston accidentally shot her stepbrother, Luke, and has been haunted by questions and nightmares ever since. Her paranoia has cost her her marriage; her relationship with her teenage children is tense - and now, as the twentieth anniversary looms of that fateful night, is she some way connected to the two further murders of the only two witnesses to testify in her favour all those years ago? Lisa Jackson has created characters with an authentic voice, and woven a tight plot full of suspense and shivery moments. There are some surprises, and if you like a whodunit that keeps you guessing, then this is it!

I loved this book. Brilliant author who doesn’t disappoint with the story. Perfect mixture of great characters and murder with a little bit of romance mixed in!

The premise of this book was good but as i started to read it became very apparent that this was a typical, cliched story which seemed more suited to a tv show or movie. The characters were cliched as were many of the scenes. I couldn't get into this story at all.
