As Good as Dead by Beverly Barton

5.0

This is the third book in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy, I ended up reading it before the second book because no matter where I've looked I can't seem to find it.

Anyways, this book was about red-headed women being found face down in bodies of water with a black satin ribbon tied around their necks. In the meantime Reve Sorrell comes to Cherokee Pointe in search of answers about her past. Jazzy Talbot and Reve Sorrell look stunningly alike. At birth they were abandoned and left for dead. Thirty years have passed and as Jazzy and Reve dig through their past in search of answers, someone's trying to keep it covered up at all costs.

At first, Reve Sorrell was most definitely, not my favorite character. Although as the book went on she grew on me. There was a lot of chemistry between several characters, whom I enjoyed reading about.

The ending certainly took me by surprise. The Red-Head Killer's identity surprised me a lot! I love how it's always a character who seems like they'd never have anything to do with it, that ends up being the murderer. Also, the person who was trying to keep Jazzy and Reve's past a secret took me by surprise as well. Certainly wasn't a character I would've suspected in the beginning.
