'In a word: clever'
(The Herald Sun )'ALMOST DEAD holds the reader's attention from page 1' (Launceston Examiner )
'[ALMOST DEAD contains an] excellent subplot revelation that few readers will see coming'
(The Sydney Morning Herald )'As a beach read, this is a cracker. Read it at night and it certainly will keep you up. For after the prologue, Jackson slips into her real agenda, and out of your comfort zone.'
(Courier Mail, Brisbane - DEEP FREEZE )'A fast-paced and surprisingly complex story... . The depiction of the protagonist... reaches an unusual depth, and the crisp, skillful language infuse every sentence with suspense...will keep readers riveted.'
(Publishers Weekly - DEEP FREEZE )'Spine-tingling . . . turbo-charged.'
(Publishers Weekly - ABSOLUTE FEAR )'Suspenseful . . . shocking . . . will leave readers on the edges of their seats.'

The title says "Left to Die", the tagline under the author's name reads "First he saves their lives, then he ends them". Once you've read these two lines, you've got a pretty good idea of what the book is about. In fact, these 2 lines summarises what the next 500 pages are about because at the end of the 500 pages and hours wasted reading them, you don't know who the killer is, what his motives are etc. Not a good start to a series even though the author keeps you guessing until the last 2 pages when you realise that she is just not giving the identity of the killer up.

I was really enjoying this book until I reached the final page and discovered that I would need to read a further book if I wanted to have the mystery solved. This might be acceptable in a T.V. serial but not when the follow up book is still in the process of being written - many months wait for the hardback and even longer for the paperback edition. Sequels are fine if one story finishes and the characters and their lives are continued in the next story, not if the reader is left without a solution. Very disappointing.

What starts off as a really excellent piece of writing with a creepy killer and a mysterious rescuer is he or is he not the Star Killer that leaves stars and letters above his victims heads that he leaves in the snow. As many of the reveiewers said this is a book that promises a complete story and feels rushed at the end with a resolution of a side story that was not really much point too. The writer would have been better sticking to the whole story and completing it rather than using other characters and side lines to extend the book into another novel. Having said that this is a well accomplished book and look forward to reading the next one.
Next time can the author advise the 1st in the _____ trilogy or part 1 of 2 etc so at least we can be aware.

I was enjoying the book but
I was really in to this and expecting it to be a nail biting finish-how wrong was I? Did the Author get confused? Was she writing two books at the same time? Read more
