Janet’s answer to “Who the heck is Lilly and how was she relevant?” > Likes and Comments

I've updated my review and have answered my own question about Lilly....
Here’s what bothered me about this novel. Going in I thought it was a stand alone. There was a character named Lilly that was covered in a five sentence conversation with a main character. Seemed important at the time, but she was never mentioned again. Drove me batty trying to figure out the relevance. Only after completing the read that I discovered it was the second “Kierce” novel, and not really a stand alone. Funny thing though, Kierce in the first novel ”Fool Me Once” was named Roger in this one he’s Sami. It turns out Lilly is a featured character in the first book, but is Lily with one L and in the second she’s Lilly with two L’s. Who’s editing for Coben?
It may seem trivial, but those are the things that really irked me about this novel.

Thank you!

I discovered that same answer. Earlier in the story Sami mentions helping maternal grandparents getting custody of a little girl to keep her away from the other lying manipulative grandmother. After reading his confrontation with Judith, I thought that’s the little girl he was talking about. I’ve been trying to find it again and I haven’t been able to. Am I wrong?
