Find Her

In Lisa Gardner's Find Her, the 8th installment in the Detective D.D. Warren thriller series, this dark and twisted tale would keep you hooked right from the first page. When Detective D.D. Warren arrived a phone call about a burned body at the crime scene, she had gotten her first glance at Florence "Flora" Dane, who was a person of interest. But things aren't what they seem to be, when she discovered why she had burned Devon Goulding's body and what lurked as the truth. As a detective on restricted duty due to a shoulder injury and a mother and wife, she dug into Goulding's background and leaned about a trail of three missing women. But as Flora disappears from her apartment, it had shed a new light of another shady kidnapping. For Flora, she became Jacob Ness's first kidnapped victim for four long years and survived enough to endure his sick and sadistic wrath. As she was abducted once again, she relived that gruesome nightmare until she killed the SOB that had set her free. But as DD connects the dots between the missing girls, she leans more about Flora's days in captivity. As Flora tries to survives and finds Stacy Summers, the recent missing girl, her newest nightmare had started as its reared its ugly head. And now it's a race of time for her to survive and be free about those inner demons for good.

This was a dark and gripping new thriller from Lisa Gardner. I cared for both D.D. and how she balanced her job and family life, while she was on restricted duty. I became intrigued on how she made the connections from start to finish between Flora's past and now her present status. I did feel concerned for Flora and how she struggled, endured and survived four years of torture, only when she became focused with a new danger of her own. I hoped she could put the past to rest and live in the future. I loved the Florida and the Boston dual locations and gripping settings to mesh the interwoven flashbacks with the storyline. This would leave you feeling numb and shaking all over with non-stop drama, suspense, intense action, and plenty of intrigue to keep you at the edge of your seat.

Will you be able to find her before it's too late?
