Veteran author Lisa Jackson delivers again with the tale of a young woman named Caitlyn Montgomery Bandeaux who wakes up one morning, bloody and confused after a night out at a bar. There's blood all over her bedroom but she has no idea how it got there. Then, she finds out that her ex-husband has been murdered. She has no memory of the event, but the blood in her bedroom scares her. Did she do it? Her new psychiatrist tries to unlock her memories, but seems to have an agenda of his own. Police Detective Reed thinks she's good for the murder, but then, as members of her family turn up dead, he has nowhere to turn. The veteran detective is sure his gut is telling him the truth, but the facts presented to him are just not lining up.
Lisa Jackson provides a new twist to her usual tales of women in jeopardy. In Caitlyn, readers are introduced to a confused, incredibly complex character. Caitlyn's relationship with her twin sister and her other family members provide the main focus that drives the plot. However, nothing is as it seems. Jackson's adept use of narrative, pacing, and suspense offer readers a fast and exciting journey through twisted family dynamics and the ultimate revenge. Jackson's story relies heavily on the point of view of her main character, but doesn't hesitate to delve into the psyches of supporting characters in this novel of family ties, perceptions of loyalty, and the deep-rooted jealousy that threatens to destroy an entire generation.
