I think Lisa is a great author. I have read everything she has written and there hasn’t been one I didn’t finish reading. She connects you with the characters right from the beginning . With all the twists and turns keeps you involved.
Been reading Lisa Gardner for years. Never disappoints
As alway keeps you on your toes, best yet.
Couldn’t put it down!
Great book! Kept you on the edge of your seat as you followed two children with RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and learned the effects of early neglect and abuse. A great mystery that kept you in suspense as it unfolded.
Great thriller with a good plot and characters.
Love this series,
Everyone and everything is not always what it seems – but it always helps if you have someone who believes in you.
First, I would like to thank First to Read for allowing me to read this arc in return for a honest review. This book was amazing. I have always loved a good psychological thriller, and this one really had me thinking. I really felt for all of these characters, as they’re all a bit broken. Wonderful book that I read in one day. Lisa Gardner has definitely done it again!
