BAD MEMORY initially seemed like just another hackneyed story about a PI trying to free another wrongly imprisoned person. I almost quit reading after the first few pages. But then the book really blossomed and I have to say that it has some of the best plotting in a mystery/thriller that I have seen in some time. I also really liked the protagonist's no nonsense approach in both her professional and romantic life. I will definitely read more by Lisa Gray.

I thought this book was just okay. The story line was pretty interesting and I wanted to know what happened, however I felt like it was pretty easy to figure out and I will likely forget about this plot shortly. Overall I can say that I liked it but didn't love it.

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5*****

I didn't find this second book in the Jessica Shaw series as good as the first (In Thin Air), but it was still a good story. The set-up was unique: Jessica is hired by the sister of a convicted murderer days before the scheduled execution and asked to find out what really happened thirty years earlier. I was able to predict some aspects of the story, but not enough to ruin the ending for me. The book alternates points-of-view and timeframes, but each chapter is clearly headed to indicate character and date, so it's easy to follow.
