Lisa Gardner is one of few authors guaranteed to make me lose sleep (as in I can't put her book down.)
Live to Tell is book 4 in the D.D. Warren series and another ripping good yarn.
I challenge any parent to read this book and not be moved. You'll want to go and hug your kids more than usual throughout.
I could hardly put this one down, a stellar five star read, until the end, where the villain's motivation becomes tangled and the reader is left unsure what really drove him to commit such acts of mind-blowing violence.
It pained me to take off that star but for me, the ending detracted from an otherwise stirling story.
Não consigo dar mais estrelas porque é muito forte e gráfico e envolve muitas crianças mortas. Mas em termos de construção de enredo é incrível.
I'm really enjoying this series, and I was pleasantly surprised that I had no idea who the killer was until we got to the reveal. Often, these stories are so formulaic and rote - but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
