You won't be able to put it down--and it will haunt you long after you turn the final page. --Shari Lapena A complex crime scene, a missing girl, a ticking clock: no one writes a more page-turning, gut-wrenching thriller. --Tess Gerritsen In #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner's latest twisty thrill ride, Detective D. D. Warren and Find Her's Flora Dane return in a race against the clock to either save a young girl's life . . . or bring her to justice. The home of a family of five is now a crime scene: four of them savagely murdered, one--a sixteen-year-old girl--missing. Was she lucky to have escaped? Or is her absence evidence of something sinister? Detective D. D. Warren is on the case--but so is survivor-turned-avenger Flora Dane. Seeking different types of justice, they must make sense of the clues left behind by a young woman who, whether as victim or suspect, is silently pleading, Look for me.

Though the material Gardner writes about might sometimes be dark, she knows how to shine a light and generate optimism when all looks lost. --Associated Press Gardner has tackled a tough subject with some complicated protagonists. . . . Fans will find the result satisfying as ever. --Florida Times-Union Suspenseful and wholly believable, this ninth entry will win new fans for the series, especially among those who favor Karin Slaughter's gritty procedurals. --Booklist (starred review) A splendidly dark foray into the blood-soaked reality of family secrets and squabbles, and a relentless page-turner of a tale chock-full of Gardner's trademark twists and turns. --Providence Journal Gardner shines a heartbreaking light on foster care abuse while steadily ratcheting up the tension to a genuinely surprising and emotional finale. --Publishers Weekly The twists and turns in this gripping D. D. Warren adventure will keep readers turning the pages. --Library Journal Master storyteller Gardner does an outstanding job delicately building the evolving relationship between these two damaged but strong women. . . .

You'll remember it for its insights into trauma and forgiveness. --Oprah.com A psychological thriller both chilling and emotional. Her narrative thrums with heart-pounding scenes and unexpected twists that have you furiously flipping pages. --USA Today's Happy Ever After on Find Her The line between mysteries and thrillers and so-called literary fiction has always been a thin one, but contemporary writers like Gardner make that sort of arbitrary distinction seem especially foolish. . . . Find Her . . . is a taut, brilliantly constructed look at the same sort of horrific situation that powered Emma Donoghue's Room. --Connecticut Post |
