[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9442447, member: 508"] Another week-long business trip, so another 500+ page thriller by Lisa Jackson. This one is [i]You Will Pay[/i], about a bunch of teenage youth camp counselors getting into trouble 20 years ago, culminating in several deaths that resulted in the camp being shut down. Now, one of those counselors is a sheriff's deputy, and the discovery of a partial skeleton of one of the victims brings the cold case back into the forefront. The story continues to go back and forth from the past to the present, and the characters are interesting and varied enough, I suppose, but Lisa falls back on a frequent trope of hers: spending a whole lot of pages on having the characters brood over and over on what's going on and who could possibly be the cause of the various happenings. I'm about a hundred pages from the end and at this point I just want the book to be done with so I can move on to something a bit more interesting. Not one of her better works. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
