This story was superb, the action just never stopped and you could never guess what was going to happen next. I love the characters of Flora and DD they work really well together. This will keep you turning those pages all night. Who did shoot the family and why?

A gripping thriller about the murder of 4 people and a missing girl who leaves clues that need to be solved, whether she is a suspect or victim is left to the detectives to work out. Interesting and full of twists.

This was a very enjoyable read with many twists and turns. The storyline was many different threads coming together at the end to show who the killer was. I would recommend this book and the author for anyone who enjoys the human sides of crime fiction.

Another her great Flora Dane and DD Warren book. Survior Flora is out there helping other girls who have been a “victim”.
A family of 3 children and their mother go through so much as a young family with an alcoholic mother. Put into foster care, the cildren have o cope whilst mum is getting clean for them. She wins the battle, but what her girls have gone through in foster care, changes all their lives forever.
Flora and DD team up in the chase to find Roxanne after her family is killed. Did she do it or is she running for her life.
Great book. Well done Lisa Gardener. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel.
The book starts by describing the slaughter of a family in their home and the fact that the family's teenage daughter is missing. Is the missing teenager a witness to the shooting, a suspect or a victim?
I loved this book. I have been waiting for what seems like an age for the next Lisa Gardner novel and I actually believe that this is one of her best yet.
We revisit DD in this installment and best of all are reunited with kidnap survivor, Flora Dean. This adds an incredible twist to an already gripping story. Having touched on the return of well loved characters, this book could still be read by a first time reader of Gardner and would stand alone well.
Highly recommend this book and I really hope Flora becomes a regular character in the future.

Although this is the 9th book in the series; this is the first one I have read. It was not spoilt by my not having read the others - but I will be reading more now! Great characters and plot made this a terrific page turner which I struggled to put down. Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and Lisa Gardner for sending me this book to review.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this amazing book

when you start reading a lisa gardner book you know you are in for a well written, well thought out storyline with believable characters, it like that first sip of coffee in the morning...when you open the book, that awww factor...

this is a story that wrenches at your guts and you just cant put the book down until you find out who the killer is...and the reasons why an entire family were wiped out and could the killer be still after roxie or could the killer be roxie....

and the reasons behind the foster family and court case comes to light and can the police and their new c.i put it all together before its too late...

so many red herrings but i didnt quite make up my mind who i thought it was till near the very end as it was playing out...

lisa gardner is fast becoming my favourite author
