As Good as Dead

By Sylvia Plath

WHAT SHE DOESN’T KNOW . . .
The victims are all found face-down in the murky waters of the creek that runs through Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee. They are naked, except for the black satin ribbon tied around their necks. And each murdered woman shares a single characteristic . . . they are all redheads . . .
 
JUST MIGHT . . .
Socialite Reve Sorrell has come to Cherokee Pointe seeking answers about her family history and her shocking connection to wrong-side-of-the-tracks Jazzy Talbot. With their stunning good looks and shining red hair, the two are mirror images of each other—twins abandoned at birth and raised in very different worlds. And whoever left them for dead on a cold night thirty years ago isn’t about to let them uncover the truth now . . .
 
KILL HER
As a serial killer leaves another chilling calling card in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Reve turns to Sheriff Jacob Butler to help her unravel the potentially deadly secrets of her past. But someone will do anything to stop her . . . someone who won’t make the same mistake twice . . . someone more cunning than she knows . . . and closer than she ever could imagine . . .
 
“A powerful story that kept me up very late—with all the lights on. With a villain you won’t soon forget and nail-biting suspense, AS GOOD AS DEAD is about as good as it gets.”
—Kay Hooper

Reviews for As Good as Dead

[carol420 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Socialite Reve Sorrell returns to Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee to learn more about her family history and to find out for certain whether local bar owner Jazzy Talbot is her twin though the two look identical except for minor material things. Jazzy wonders why her beloved septuagenarian Aunt Sally would have lied about a sister and perhaps her mother while Reve struggles with being adopted. The suspense is riveting, you can feel the evil lurking. Reve and Jacob start out as less then friendly but they have a passion and a connection that is amazing. I love Beverly Barton books.
