Lisa Gardner is an amazing storyteller and I love reading her books. I didn't realize that this book was part of a series, and I don't believe I've read them in order, but it doesn't seem to matter too much. It reminds me of James Patterson's Women's Murder Club books - yes, they're a series, and...
3.5 starsThis was a surprisingly enjoyable read. I was in a mood for something mysterious and twisted, and got exactly that. When I read Touch and Go, I didn't realized that that book was the second in the series. When I bought It last year on Amazon, no where, at that time, was it mentioned that...

Out of all the books I've read by Lisa Gardner(this being my third so far) i have to say this was probably the most unique that I have come across yet. Just like Alone and Hide, The Neighbor is told from the point of view of multiple individuals. There's Detective Sergeant D.D Warren from the BPD...

I actually really enjoyed this book and read it in a matter of a few days. I am a little bummed because I found out after I read Hide that it was the second in a series. I have to go read Alone now and I'm afraid I'll not like it as much because I think I might have read a few spoilers in the sec...

This is my first Lisa Gardner book and to be frank, I was really disappointed. I actually wanted to give it a star and half.I found this while book-browsing at a bookstore nearby. I was impressed seeing so many books by Lisa Gardner so of course it made me more excited to try her book. I mean, if...
The Survivors ClubGiven that Lisa Gardner is a very popular name in this business and in this genre, I had already known I was in for a surprise before I even decided on reading this book. I just wasn’t that much prepared, to say the least. The Survivors Club is an ideal start if you’re just begi...

I was impressed by the detailed way the author presented each crime scene. She admitted at the beginning of the book that she had tons of help with developing this. As a reader, that set up the expectation that this book would be boring and the characters flat.I was happily wrong! Although the ...
