Highly recommended. Mostly about Flora Dane n SgtDec DD Warren. I wasn't immediately taken w this book, but got more into it as I continued. Almost a psychological mystery.

I got bored with this book rather quickly. It’s about women crime survivors and their captors and the horrendous things they have done to them. It gives a victim survivor advocate’s perspective, which is a little different than…

Took me a bit to get into ; probably the first 5-7 chapters , but once I was hooked , I was hooked . Definitely a good read and one I would recommend to anyone who loves a mystery that kind of gives you a sense of uneasy . Well done , Lisa…

For anyone who has been a victim, male, female, young, old, this is a must read. There is a huge difference between being a victim and being a survivor: you do not get to chose whether or not you become a victim, but you can decide not to…

Deeply disturbing. Inspired by the author learning about the need for victims' advocates, this book tells the story of a survivor of an utterly horrendous kidnapping who is kidnapped again five years later. The second kidnapping is the…

Read this book in one day - it really kept me guessing until the end! Would love recommendations on which other Detective D. D Warren books are of this calibre.
I like the author books but usually don't give more than 2.5 stars but this book was basically a 4 star. Was a page turner and the last 10-15 chapters you just wanted to know. I usually can pin point the culprit but this time you wondered…

This book grabbed me from page one right up to the end. Flora has been kidnapped and held for 472 days before she was rescued. She tells her story throughout the book. But while she is telling her story, she is trying to find another…

This book was great. D.D.
Warren was a difficult character to like initially - considering Flora a murderer rather than a heroine. The plot was excellent - drawing the reader into the horrors of Flora's captivity and her present need to…

The story held my attention from beginning to end with its twisting plotline and a character struggling to survive and adapt to her circumstances. I enjoy Gardner's style of writing whether to quicken pace or increase emotional tension.…

I agree that DD didn't show much compassion to a victim (especially with all shes been through) but the story was compelling and kept me reading.
One of my favorite authors.

If an author needs to move forward in a story by having an annoying lead character (DD) jump to conclusions (mostly wrong) and wildly accusing people without any evidence whatsoever, in my opinion that's very poor story-telling. The plot…

This was a fantastic book, and I couldn't figure things out until closer to the end. In the past I have read others like this and was able to figure out the plot before half way. Suspenseful, nail biting and satisfying. Enjoyed the…

Love her as an author and this book certainly was one of her best. It is a page turner and I enjoy how she develops the characters and storyline. Must read for sure.

4.5 stars. Wow. I can't say enough about this book. Asbolutely unputdownable. Heart-poundingly stressful. Dark & frightening. Simply put, I absolutely loved this book and its two strong female protagonists. Highly recommended.

Gardner returns with another hard hitting D.D. Warren mystery involving the disappearance of young women, Flora Dane, who endured over a year of torture and is now seeking revenge or justice.
