More About This Book

Overview

In the dark shadows of a sultry southern town, a serial killer strikes. It’s an act of sinister precision that has happened many times before...every victim an offering to a hunger that can never be sated...

The next morning, Caitlyn Montgomery Bandeaux wakes covered in blood. But Caitlyn has no memory of the night before, when her estranged husband was brutally murdered like so many others she has known...

Wanted by the police and haunted by horrifying, fragmented memories, Caitlyn turns to Adam Hunt, the town's new psychologist. But how far can she really trust him? For as a twisted killer strikes again and again, Caitlyn's about to discover that those who appear the most innocent are usually the most evil...

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson's romantic suspense novel The Night Before is a chilling tale of murder and madness, with a romance that's to-die-for. For generations, the Montgomery family has been tormented by dark secrets, scandals, and tragedy, but Caitlin Montgomery Bandeaux has more to worry about than the past. Awakening from a night of dreams filled with images of her estranged husband, Josh Bandeaux, being brutally murdered, Caitlin finds herself and her home smeared with blood. She's had blackouts before, but she's terrified to realize she has only fragments of memory of the previous night, especially when the police inform her that Josh has been found dead in a pool of his own blood. Josh's dirty business deals and shabby treatment of women have made him one of the most hated men in Atlanta -- as well as one of the richest -- and Caitlin wasn't the only one with plenty of reason to want him dead. But with his lifeblood splattered over the papers for their divorce, and for his planned lawsuit against her for the wrongful death of their daughter, she's a prime suspect when the apparent suicide turns out to be murder. Suddenly Caitlin's future may depend on her new therapist's ability to help her sort out elusive memories from her fragmentary nightmares -- all under the terrifying shadow of a family history of madness. Sue Stone

    exciting romantic psychological suspense

    In Savannah, Caitlyn Bandeaux is covered with blood, but has no idea why or what happened last night. She blames her memory loss on alcohol. After she cleans up, Police Detectives Reed and Morrisette inform her that someone brutally murdered her estrange spouse Josh. She remains the prime suspect with a strong motive and opportunity since he was suing her in the wrongful death of their infant son Jamie and her blood type was found at the crime scene. Still the cops realize that Josh had many enemies from his unscrupulous business dealings and his womanizing. Caitlyn asks her twin Kelly for help, but her sibling initially fails to return her desperate calls. As she suffers more blackouts and strange flashes, she turns to psychiatrist Adam Hunt though Kelly objects. Adam has an agenda of his own while the truth begins to surface inside Caitlyn¿s mind one slow drip at a time. Fans of Lisa Jackson¿s ¿Blooded¿ novels will want to read THE NIGHT BEFORE, an exciting romantic psychological suspense filled with plenty of twists, albeit too many. The story line grips the audience as Caitlyn struggles to regain her equilibrium by trying to learn why she blacks out (read the twist to learn why) but also falling in love with Adam. Some of the loose ties from the ¿Blooded¿ novels are answered in this tale that includes the appearance of New Orleans Detective Montoya. Ms. Jackson will return to all the lists while her audience anxiously awaiting the sequel, THE MORNING AFTER. Harriet Klausner

    Good read

    I would like to preface this short review by saying that I generally like Lisa Jackson's writing. For the most part, her reading is very easy to read, but not in a "simple" sense of the word - everything just flows right. I have found that a lot of her books seem to have the same framework, but I enjoy it even though I know its coming. That said, this one started out slow for me. I had a rough time getting through it compared to the other books in another series (New Orleans) I have read of hers. However, I finally got into it about halfway through and found myself enjoying the rest of the book. Overall, not her best, and not one that I would recommend a friend begin with. However, if you are a loyal Lisa Jackson fan, it is certainly worth your time, and includes Montoya from the New Orleans series.

    good story with editorial mistakes

    This was a good story - however I am finding that the e-books have a great many editorial mistakes. Even more so than the 'regular' books. Some of the mistakes are more than spell-check issues, some of these mistakes actually change the direction of the story. Hopefully this issue will be rectified soon. This book seemed to have suffered from more than usual.

    Labored writing and reading

    I've labored through 133 pages of this book, and I quit. I NEVER put a book down, but I am exhausted by the repetition ad nauseum of the main character's thoughts and the plodding plot. I couldn't write a psychological thriller if someone threatened to cut an artery, but I could have done as well as the author did with this one.

    A fun read, typical of Lisa Jackson. Sexy, intelligent, well-crafted.

    The fun thing to do with Lisa Jackson's sexy thrillers is to try to guess who will sleep with whom before the novel ends, if anyone, and who is behind the crimes, which are always multiple. Usually you get to meet the killer somewhat before the middle of the story, though you haven't enough information to figure out who it might be. So you spend your time trying to keep all the tiny clues together, and see if you are right at the end. Maybe she should do Who-Done-It games! Would be great read and detect stories for a board game for Xmas presents.

    Defines what a thriller should be

    This plot is one twisty, curvey thing! Lisa Jackson never fails to disappoint with her wonderful thrillers was this was a step above the rest. There were so many viable suspects that it was impossible to guess who the real culprit was. At least I know my jaw dropped when it was finally revealed and had spent the whole novel convinced it was someone else entirely.

    Very Good Book!

    This is the first book I have read by this author and I really liked it. I will be reading more. It was a little scary really kept my interest, I didn't figure out who it was till the end. It was a quick read because it was so good you didn't want to put it down.
