4.0 out of 5 stars
Plot is Appreciable in its Complexity,
By Stephanie DePue (Carolina Beach, NC USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Next Victim (Paperback)
"The Next Victim" is the eighth book in Jonnie Jacobs' series of suspense thrillers starring San Francisco-based attorney for the defense Kali O'Brien. In it, Kali travels to Tucson, Arizona, to investigate the death of her estranged brother John O'Brien, prime suspect in the recent murders of beautiful, wealthy Sloane Winslow, and her housekeeper, pretty young student Olivia Perez. Last time Kali spoke to John, he seemed to be desperate to tell her something, but too drunk to get it out: now he's dead, apparently by a suicidal drugs/alcohol overdose.
Kali wasn't close to her brother: still, she can't believe him capable of murder. But she does come to learn he had many secrets, including investments in porn movie making. She's aided in her investigations by her sister Sabrina; they bounce off Tucson cops Erling Shafer and Michelle Parker. Jacobs writes a highly-competent chick lit thriller here; it does actually get some pretty good suspense going. She writes well; the plot is appreciable in its complexity, the principal characters are well-formed. The discussions of Tucson landscape, weather, flora and fauna are well-done, and interesting. Mind you, the book has got too much relationship/family content to my taste, but I guess that comes with the chick lit territory. Still, Jacobs is an experienced writer, and it shows to her advantage here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Murder and secrets,
By Dawn Dowdle "Mystery Lovers Corner reviewer" (Lynchburg, VA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Next Victim (Paperback)
San Francisco attorney Kali O'Brien is camping with her boyfriend Bryce. She gets a phone message from her brother John in Arizona who she has had limited contact with for years. She decides to call him later.
After returning from her trip, she tries to contact him, but the call is short and she doesn't learn anything about why he called. Soon after she is notified he committed suicide. He is also alleged to have killed a woman he knew and the student living with her. Kali and her sister Sabrina meet up at John's. They can't believe he would kill anyone nor take his life. They set off to clear his name. Then another girl turns up dead that appears to be tied to John. And there's a missing girl also tied to him. Could he really have killed all these people? In this installment in the series, we get a bigger glimpse into Kali's personal life. I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the interaction of the two sisters was great. The mystery was very believable, and there are so many twists and turns that I couldn't figure out who the killer was until it right before it was revealed. And then I was surprised! I like that the main character is a lawyer, but I really enjoyed that this book wasn't set around a court case. It was very enjoyable. I had trouble putting the book down. I wanted to know who the killer was. I highly recommend this book.
