Dark & Deadly
This story has you thinking one way about the criminal, only to find out later you were wrong. A woman who runs a castle is unusual of the times - strong, opinionated and fearless. New to her post, she knows not who to trust and must go with her gut. She takes in a man who is near death. He reminds her of a past love, a man named a murderer - of his own family no less. She wants to believe otherwise and tries to keep him to nurse him to health. The amounts she does not know about her home add twists to the story as you find the killer has access within the castle no one knows about. It is thrilling to unfold the story and find out why the killer is bent on his revenge and against whom. During the ensuing days, the castle comes under danger, as does the heroine while she nurses the man to better health. All the while the killer is plotting, taking his revenge and setting them all on a course that could destroy everyone involved. Is this man the lover from the past? Is he someone else? Is he the killer of his family? Is the killer in the castle the lover from the past and possible killer of his family - someone other than this near dead man? Will she get back her lover from the past and live happily ever after like most Jackson novels? This one is a surprise, you will not be disappointed with who she ends up with, why and how the story ends up! Great read! Leads into her younger sister's (Sorceress) story.
