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?

How does Lisa Gardner continue to grab readers with the emotional connection she does!? Not only are you riveted by the suspense but you WANT to care about how their lives turn out! I feel like I have a whole other family, we’ll just call them My Gardner Family (😜) for now.
I know it is cliché to say (but it’s still true) that I could not put this book down. Luckily, I started this one on a wellness-me-day!
This Woman power packed suspense is about Evie, a woman who looks to have killed her husband and in the process destroyed his computer. D.D. Warren soon realizes that something isn’t right with the obvious circumstances, too obvious, which launches us into the world full of secrets, interesting characters, and expert story development. This book fulfills even the pickiest readers list of must haves!
Best part is you can read this without having read the entire series and not feel like you are missing anything!
Thanks to Dutton Books and NetGalley for the book in exchange for my honest review.
