Publisher's summary

Lisa Gardner's runaway New York Times bestseller - a fast-paced thrill ride featuring Detective D. D. Warren.

Seven years ago, carefree college student Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break. For 472 days, Flora learned just how much one person can endure.

Miraculously alive after her ordeal, Flora has spent the past five years reacquainting herself with the rhythms of normal life, working with her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes. She has a mother who’s never stopped loving her, a brother who is scared of the person she’s become, and a bedroom wall covered with photos of other girls who’ve never made it home.

When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime - a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him - she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? And with her firsthand knowledge of criminal behavior, could she hold the key to rescuing a missing college student whose abduction has rocked Boston? When Flora herself disappears, D.D. realizes a far more sinister predator is out there. One who’s determined that this time, Flora Dane will never escape. And now it is all up to D. D. Warren to find her.

Critic reviews

"As Flora, [narrator Kirsten] Potter transitions from the fragile tones of a survivor to her fearful, desperate thoughts while being held by her captor. Portraying Warren, Potter projects confidence and excitement as the detective uses her intuition to get to the bottom of the case. Each snappy remark adds power and validity to this strong character while engaging the listener." ( AudioFile)

Wow, so damn good.

One of the best suspense thriller books I've listened to. I was on my seat from start to finish. There wasn't one moment I got bored with the story line or characters. Nothing predictable about it.

Kept me guessing

Every time I thought I had it figured out, the author proved me wrong. Enjoyed the twists and turns.

Any additional comments?

This book was about 4 hours too long. Not a bad story, not a bad performance. I listened as I drove across Tennesee. I couldn't wait for the book to end.

I can't finish this

I read for escape from the reality of daily life and stress. This book is not escape from anything.

MUST READ

OMG this book is a MUST read!!! It keeps you on edge from the very first page all the way through! Never a dull moment. Seriously, great book.

Twists and turns

Great story. It's was full of jump back- jump forwards, and it went through all kinds of mysterious situations that kept me guessing. If you like that sort of story, as I do, you will enjoy this. The narration was done well. The protagonist is a very believable mix of strength and fear, and I could see someone reacting this way if they had these types of circumstances to contend with. Fun escape for a few hours.

Awesome!

listening to this pulls me away like i am part of the book! Great set up an i like how its so twisted but powerful!!

A great listen experience

this is a well-written story and wonderfully executed by the reader. I never had a problem following the story line because read so well but I always knew whose perspective I was hearing. I loved this one

Good use of a credit

the writing was wonderful and the narration was top-notch! I will admit that's three-quarters of the way through my interest started to wane slightly because there seemed to be no forward progress for a moment or two and the ending was good not great. that being said, I think maybe I'm just very jaded because I have been on a thriller genre kick and so this is maybe the third or fourth Thriller in a row this month. I think in terms of pleasure reading or for someone who has been looking for something to take on that long weekend getaway this is perfect!

ROLLERCOASTER RIDE

This was really a psychological journey into the possible struggles of a person perceived as a survivor. The thing is, does she see herself as one?
