look for meAbout the Book

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner’s latest twisty thrill ride, Detective D. D. Warren and Find Her‘s Flora Dane return in a race against the clock to either save a young girl’s life…or bring her to justice.

The home of a family of five is now a crime scene: four of them savagely murdered, one—a sixteen-year-old girl—missing. Was she lucky to have escaped? Or is her absence evidence of something sinister? Detective D. D. Warren is on the case—but so is survivor-turned-avenger Flora Dane. Seeking different types of justice, they must make sense of the clues left behind by a young woman who, whether as victim or suspect, is silently pleading, Look for me.

My Review

My, my, my. Now this was an intense read. I have been leaning toward suspense/thriller novels quite a bit lately, and Look For Me sounded edgy, compelling, and one I simply had a feeling about. And it was edgy, compelling, and sure gave me a lot of feels while reading. I will say it was a bit more graphic and dark than most I tend to read, so if that’s not your cup of tea you might not enjoy this one, but I was hooked from page one. It was suspenseful, the writing was tight, and the ending had me not just in tears, but full on crying. A powerful story and one I would highly recommend.
