Find Her by Lisa Gardner – 2/12/16

Find Her by Lisa GardnerToday on Books in Review I have to tell you about the new Lisa Gardner thriller, FIND HER. Flora Dane was abducted during her spring break. After being held for 472 days, she is finally rescued, but she comes back a much different person. She is a survivor, though, spending the last five years trying to reclaim the rhythms of regular life – trying to be normal. But it’s not normal to have one wall covered with pictures and details about other young women who have been abducted. When Flora crosses paths with Boston detective DD Warren, over the body of a suspected abductor, it’s starting to look like Flora has gone rogue and crossed into vigilante territory. When Flora herself disappears, things start pointing to a much more sinister predator. In this tight, emotional thriller, Gardner introduces a new character – FBI Victim Advocate Samuel Keynes. What does he know about Flora’s activities and what is his role in her adjustment to ‘normal life’?

You have to read the book to find out. Get a copy of FIND HER and clear your schedule – you’re not going to want to put the book down.
