This is a story of 3 amazing women. I haven’t read of the other books in this series yet but I definitely want to read them now. A thrilling adventure from beginning to end!

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

I read and rated this book in June 2020 but did not write a review on goodreads as I normally would have. My three star rating and lack of a review means to me that I did not think the novel was outstanding, unlike One Step Too Far, another of her books to which I gave four stars.

All these badass women!! I love this series. And I'm so happy for Flora!I’m looking forward to more D. D., but also to more Flora. Her future interests me very much.

This is book #10 in the D.D. Warren series! This is the first book I read in the series, and I want to read the complete series now! You can absolutely read them as standalones but I would have probably had a better understanding of D.D. Warren had I read the previous books, but I still really loved her character regardless!

Never Tell is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller, where you will not be bored! Expect a page-turner including many twists and turns that you will have not seen coming.

This book had great character development; Flora added another dimension to this story. I truly hope she becomes a recurring character in the other books! I’d love to see her story evolve.

The synopsis of the book starts off with - A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun.

Never Tell seemed intriguing. Boy, was I correct in my assumption? A great storyline with well-crafted characters made this book a must-read.

I did not realize this was book 10 of the series although I did read it. I am now going back and reading the series. I found this installment to be enjoyable, and I do enjoy the author's other work. So far, the series has proved to be interesting. I enjoyed the character buildup as well as the story building. Took me a while to come to the conclusion.

Wow! This was one amazing roller coaster ride. There are three primary characters … all very different. I really had no idea how the two story lines were related. But be prepared for the puzzle pieces to fall into place. I could not put the book down because I needed to know what would happen in the next chapter. Definitely put this one on your to-be-read list.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

I am sorry for not reviewing fully but I don’t have the time to read this at the moment. I believe that it wouldn't benefit you as a publisher or your book if I only skimmed it and wrote a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for not fully reviewing!

This was a wonderful novel to add to the D.D. Warren series. Lisa Gardner's a wonderful author and she didn't disappoint with this one! It was suspenseful and kept you absorbed in the novel. It was such a great read!

You just cannot go wrong with Lisa Gardner. A strong plot and twists and turns galore prevail in "Never Tell". D.D. Warren is back in action, this time investigating the murder of a seemingly upstanding citizen in his home office. Shot multiple times, his body is found by his pregnant wife, Evie. Even more strange.....the computer had intentionally been shot multiple times also, so from the very beginning, it is clear that the husband, Conrad, must have had something to hide. Evie herself is shrouded in secrets, as years ago, she discovered her father's body at home, also shot and killed. A mere coincidence, or is Evie not quite as innocent as she seems?

Recovered kidnap victim, Flora Dane, is watching TV one day when she sees Conrad's face on the screen. Flora knows this man.....she met him years ago, out one night with her kidnapper, Jacob Ness. Flora immediately worms her way into the investigation. What dark secrets could Conrad have been hiding on his computer that he did not want to the world to discover?

D.D. and Flora soon join forces with Evie to try and discover what may have happened to Conrad. Evie also continues to try to clear her name not only from her past, but from this latest murder. Are the shootings related? What role might Conrad have played with Jacob Ness? The clock is ticking to uncover Conrad's killer, and also to find out the truth about what may have happened with Evie's father years ago. The past and the present may be tied together more than one would believe.

Gardner's books are always looked forward to and this one is no different. love the characters and the interactions. a little long winded, but a very good book

Never Tell is the tenth book in the Sergeant D.D. Warren series. The story begins with Gardner’s signature, compelling characterization and a plot that is nothing short of dark and disturbing. Flora Dane is back to help solve the case, determined to decipher the truth. However, Flora and D.D. quickly realize that the truth isn’t always what it seems — and every family has its share of secrets. Readers, be warned...you’re in for a thrilling ride.

Another great suspense thriller by Lisa Gardner, who's become a master of suspense. Never Tell starts fast and doesn't let up as it keeps the reader engaged and turning pages in the 10th D.D. Warren novel. I was excited to see Flora Dane return in Never Tell.

A case that looks straightforward with the killer seemingly caught red-handed is anything but as we find out in one plot twist after another

Warren and Dane take different paths in the investigation, setting up a thrilling pay off that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your chair.

A man has been killed and his wife is the prime suspect. What should be an open and shut case becomes a complicated mystery for Boston detective D.D. Warren and her squad. The dead man also seems to have ties to a serial rapist who died six years previously, leaving behind a number of missing women. Obviously, this case is going to be a challenge.

Never Tell has an interesting cast of characters. The story is told from three different perspectives: D.D., the detective, her confidential informant and survivor of a brutal abduction, Flora, and the murder victim’s wife, Evie. In addition to these strong women, there are many supporting cast members who add interest to the story as well as layers to the mystery.

While I enjoyed the characters that have been created, I didn’t enjoy the story quite as much. The entire premise was somewhat unbelievable and unrealistic. There were too many convenient coincidences and, while it all made for an interesting story and even a good plot, they were just too unbelievable for me. With that said, Ms Gardner is a talented writer and I will undoubtedly read more of her books. Never Tell is 3.5 stars for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

Evie comes home one night to find her husband, Conrad, shot three times dead in his study. It isn’t the first time Evie has found a man she loves in her life shot dead. Reacting she shoots 12 rounds into her dead husbands computer and surrenders herself to the police.

Never Tell is a whirlwind of twists and turns between detective D.D. Warren, Evie Carter and a kidnapped survivor turned CI, Flora. Full of thrill, action and mystery, Never Tell was enthralling to the very last sentence.

Great book, hard to put down. NeverTell is one of the best I have read in a long time. A book of secrets and lies between parents, and husband and wife. Another thriller with D.D. Warren and her C.I. Flora Dane.

4.5 stars.

I’ve never read a Lisa Gardner book before this one, so I went into the Detective D.D. Warren series blindly (which I’ve learned you can do, both from interviews with the author and other reviewers), reading this one as a stand-alone novel. And it did not disappoint!

This is a solid thriller that alternates between 3 different female protagonists - and they always keep you guessing. It’s a fast-paced read that will keep you invested through all the unexpected twists, right up until the end!

Can’t wait to read the next one in the series (#11), which I’ve heard is even better!

How does Lisa Gardner continue to grab readers with the emotional connection she does!? Not only are you riveted by the suspense but you WANT to care about how their lives turn out! I feel like I have a whole other family, we’ll just call them My Gardner Family (😜) for now.

I know it is cliché to say (but it’s still true) that I could not put this book down. Luckily, I started this one on a wellness-me-day!

This Woman power packed suspense is about Evie, a woman who looks to have killed her husband and in the process destroyed his computer. D.D. Warren soon realizes that something isn’t right with the obvious circumstances, too obvious, which launches us into the world full of secrets, interesting characters, and expert story development. This book fulfills even the pickiest readers list of must haves!

Best part is you can read this without having read the entire series and not feel like you are missing anything!
