Having been adopted when she was a baby, Reve Sorrell has always wondered about her birth parents. Very wealthy people, who gave her everything, adopted Reve. What Reve really wants, needs, is the truth about why she was left to die as a baby. Who are her birth parents? Where are they now? Why was she thrown in a dumpster and left for dead as a infant? Why was she and Jazzy Talbot, her twin sister who was raised in Cherokee Pointe, separated and abandoned? Reve and Jazzy want answers to these questions and more, but someone is willing to kill to keep the secret about what happened thirty years ago from being revealed.

As bodies keep turning up in the surrounding creeks, Sheriff Jacob Butler fears they have a serial killer on their hands as it grows obvious that the same MO has been used with each victim. All of the victims have one thing in common; they have red hair…like Reve and Jazzy. Can Jacob solve the murders before the killer strikes again?

In As Good As Dead, Beverly Barton takes us back to Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee where all of our questions are answered about Jazzy Talbot and Reve Sorrell's past. The sexual tension between Jacob and Reve is explosive and it is fun to "watch" as these two fight their growing feelings for one another. As Good As Dead is the last book in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy and it is just as action packed as the two previous titles, The Fifth Victim and The Last to Die. This book is full of "on the edge of your seat" suspense that will keep you guessing "who did it?" to the shocking end! If you have not read this trilogy, this reviewer HIGHLY recommends you do so now! Ms. Barton proves, once again, why she is a New York Times best selling author.
