About this ebook

The award-winning suspense novel in the Detective D. D. Warren series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner

“Gripping . . . Full of inventive twists, this highly entertaining novel delivers a shocking solution as well as a perfectly realized sense of justice.”—Publishers Weekly

A young mother, blond and pretty, vanishes from her South Boston home, leaving behind only one witness—her four-year-old daughter—and one suspect—her handsome, secretive husband.

From the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, instinct tells her that something is seriously off with the wholesome image the couple has worked so hard to create.

With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and a media firestorm building, D.D. must decide whether Jason Jones is hiding his guilt—or just trying to hide. But first she must stand between a potential killer and his next victim—an innocent child who may have seen too much.

Ratings and reviews

This was my first book of Lisa Gardner. It was full of psychological things and that was different than other mystery/thriller books in my opinion. you can feel the psychological pressure on yourself during the whole of the story and due to the well-written template of the story, you feel the depth of the fear, as if you are the one who experience all of the situation and this gives you the real thrill. if you want crime books, where guns are going to be fired or if you expect to read about serial killers, this might not satisfy you; instead it will definitely give you a full package of psychological thriller/mystery in which most part of it is real and this is what made this story real "thriller".

Great writer.....maybe the best I've read......BUT TO Much f words....come on lisa it's not necessary...

Ten out of ten cept the usual pedophile eliment
