Although not as good as In Thin Air (the first) this still was a good read.
Tasked with finding the truth behind a double killing before the accused is executed Jessica delves into the accused background and events of that night.... will the truth be discovered before the final day.

Another excellent book by Lisa. Well written and had me gripped from the start. This will definitely be a long term series for me.

In this second Jessica Shaw book, Lisa Grey provides another unique mystery that weaves the past with the present. Jess is now in a small California town working for a PI, trying to get her own license. She is approached by the sister of a woman scheduled for excursion as punishment for having killed her best friend and boyfriend when she was a teenager. A pile of evidence seemed to make it an open and shut case, but there are secrets from the past that Jess must chase down and reveal. There are few twists and sidelines in the plot; most of which are able to be resolved in the short book. However, there is a feeling of a rush at the end to tie-up loose ends that leaves one feeling unsatisfied, wanting more details and exploration. The rotation of perspectives and shifting from past to present are fairly smooth but also give away the details a bit too easily. With another closed case, Jess continues on her journey of trying to outrun her pain and commitment, but will she be successful? We will wait until the next book to find out.

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.
