This was my first book by Lisa Gardner and it will not be my last. It was well written and a great suspense novel. I am really looking forward to reading more of her books.

This is the fourth DD Warren book but it is not necessary to read the previous 3 first. And I say that as one of those people that go absolutely crazy with the thought of reading a series out of order. Sadly I just didn't have time to get my hands on the first three yet.

The summary is above so I'm not going to rehash it. But its a really well done story line where all 3 come together. While I was reading it wasn't obvious how they were going to connect until they practically did. It was great not being able to predict how a story was going to turn out. You really see how the case progresses with Detective DD Warren. And how she puts it all together.

While it is not a romantic suspense novel. I did enjoy the touches of romance included in the story. They helped to make the characters more believable and easier to relate too.

Detective DD Warren is an interesting character. I'm sure if I had read the previous novels I would know more about her. But even in just reading this one I got a well developed idea of her character and sense of who she is.

If you are looking for a good suspense novel. I highly recommend picking this up. You wont be disappointed.
