Review: Look For Me

Look For Me Look For Me by Lisa Gardner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Detective DD Warren and Flora Dane are in a race against time to save a young girl's life - or bring her to justice. A nail-biting thriller by number one bestselling author, Lisa Gardner.

'An utterly absorbing story about troubled families and twisted fates. Look for Me starts with a bang and never lets up! You won’t be able to put it down.' Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door.

A family home has become a crime scene. Five people are involved: four of them have been savagely murdered; one - a sixteen-year-old girl - is missing.

Was she lucky to have escaped? Or is her absence evidence of something sinister?

Detective D. D. Warren is on the case, as is survivor-turned-avenger Flora Dane.

Seeking different types of justice, they must make sense of the clues left behind by a young woman who, as victim or suspect, is silently pleading, Look for me.

 
I definitely enjoyed this book and it had me turning the pages. It also didn't end as I'd expected so credit for that. However, what was the prologue about?! Yes it did relate to a character in the book but not a major one. To me it seemed rather disjointed from the rest of the book. If it hadn't been there I wouldn't have missed it. If I hadn't read the blurb I would have been expecting a different story focussing on a different character. I also didn't feel invested enough in the main characters to be rushing to check out previous books in the series.

  2. I have read most of the DD Warren books, but I made the mistake of reading them back to back to back and burned myself out on them. I did enjoy them, though. Perhaps I might pick up the next one that I need to read and give them a go again.
