Publisher's summary

The number one New York Times best-selling author's latest stand-alone thriller, with a cameo by her fan-favorite character, Boston Detective D.D. Warren

My name is Nicky Frank. Except, most likely, it isn't.

Nicole Frank shouldn't have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero.

I'm looking for a little girl. I have to save her. Except, most likely, she doesn't exist.

Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can't find any trace of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky's husband, Thomas, arrives with a host of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police shouldn't trust anything she says.

My husband claims he'll do anything to save me. Except, most likely, he can't.

Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it a random accident or something more sinister given the woman's lack of family and no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close accident. In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead.

A little Long

the story was rather repetitive in certain areas could have done without the same information two or three times overall performance was good

Not her best

I love her books typically but this felt like she was wandering really not sure how to get the characters all connected and the story wrapped up. I think that if the book were not quite so long it would have been a good story.

Too many references to "Vero"

I liked the story line but personally I was so sick of hearing "Vero" called out so many times throughout the book. I nearly did not finish the book as it was so annoying. I truly think it would have been more enjoyable and still got the message across without calling her name out so much!

A bit slow

I listen to books while running, and while I enjoyed the story it was not as fast paced and exciting as her other books.

hard to put down!

Caught your interest immediately. Hated to put down. I am planning to purchase all remaining books.

Wow. Just wow.

Completely captivating from start to finish. Couldn’t stop listening because I just Had. To. Know.

Pretty good

I like this author, but felt it was hard to understand at times which character was speaking, so it took a little while to get into it, but once I finally did, it is a pretty good story with it all coming together in the end:)

I loved this book-not sure why it has neg reviews.

There were a bunch of twists, turns, and surprises. I really liked this book! I thought the readers did a fine job. I've certainly heard a lot worse.
If you like Lisa Gardner's other books, don't listen to the negative reviews. I was a little wary, but I'm very glad that I bought it!

Be patient

This started out a bit slower for me than I had come to expect from Gardner; but, having always enjoyed her writing, I stuck with it. I'm so glad I did.

A Twisted Tale

This was a surprising novel. Kept me up nights and kept me guessing to the end. Well done.
