New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson asks readers to join her on her most electrifying thrill-ride so far. This prolific author has written more than 70 novels and has refined her author’s voice to a level that her fans have come to appreciate. In this pulse pounding novel, Tell Me, we are whisked away to Savannah, Georgia. A mother is released after serving 20 years in prison for crimes and atrocities that spark a new killing spree, taking readers into a dark mystery that began over 20 years ago. Nikki Gillette, a reporter determined to get to the truth, is looking for answers and for a killer. Except this killer murdered her best friend’s daughter...on the night she was to reveal a dark secret, one that will change their lives forever. Add a sprinkle of romance and humor and Tell Me is a novel not to be missed.

This story takes readers on an exciting emotional roller-coaster through murder, guilt, revenge, and secrets. Nikki is a flawed and emotionally fractured character which adds a depth that is missing from many contemporary thrillers today. Jackson has created another thriller that is sure to impress her fans and readers of this genre alike. The characters are believable and emotionally familiar. Nikki, Pierce, Amity, and others are written in such a way that most readers can find some familiar element resonating in them.

The author's creative use of metaphor is almost allegorical at times, while her ability to ratchet up dramatic tension really sets her apart as a best-selling novelist. I look forward to reading more from her and would love to follow Nikki’s story as it progresses. Tell Me does not disappoint!
