Amazon Review
A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun.
D. D. Warren arrives on the scene and recognizes the woman—Evie Carter—from a case many years back. Evie's father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident. But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many.
Flora Dane sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim—a hostage—and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn the truth of Conrad's murder.
But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing. As layer by layer they peel away the half-truths and outright lies, they wonder: How many secrets can one family have?
This is my 3rd book by Lisa Gardner. In this murder mystery she uses some of her characters from "Find Her" which was a book about a kidnapped woman kept by the one who took her for well over a year.. at times kept in a coffin.
The other book I read by her is "Right Behind You". So far her writing does keep you reading wanting to know "what next?" This book had many new characters as well as a few she has used before..which makes it very interesting! I would say if she sounds like someone you want to try that you should read Find Her first in order to really, really understand her character of Flora. But it's not an absolute have to.
This was a good read with interesting characters.

Someone kept a captive in a coffin? Not sure I could read that, bit too psychologically creepy. Glad this is an author you like though.
