Someone shot a man three times in his home office but, his computer has been shot twelve times. When the police arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun. When D.D. Warren arrives on the scene, she recognizes the woman as Evie Carter. D.D. worked a case many years ago when Evie's father was accidentally killed by his daughter.  Warren feels that there are too many coincidental deaths that occur near Evie Carter.

When Flora Danes see the new report of Conrad Carter's murder, she remembers him from when she was kidnapped. Her captor, Jacob knew and met Conrad while Flora was his hostage. Flora is overcome with guilt for not trying to find out more about Jacob's victims. Flora decides to work with D.D. to help figure out the truth behind Conrad's death. As Flora and D.D. work on the case, they discover some people will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden.

I thought the novel was a suspenseful read and showed how far someone would go protect the ones they love. I have read other books by Lisa Gardner and usually love them. However, this book left me wanting more. I felt like the story drag towards the middle and did nothing to build the story. I left like D.D. Warren took a backseat in investigating the case until the very end when she realizes who is behind the murder.

**May Contain Spoilers**

For 472 days, Flora Dane is a victim of kidnap, emotional and sexual abuse. Her ability to endure was put to the test and stretched to the limits. However, Flora Dane is a survivor. After surviving the horrific ordeal, she spends the next 5 years of her life adjusting to normal life, however, she isn't quite able to adjust. She pushes her doting mother and scares her brother while continuing risking her life. During her 472 day imprisonment, she harbors a dark secret that puts her life in peril again. Flora is tangled up with a serial killer, three missing girls and then goes missing herself.  Can Flora finally escape her past?

The book is a very thrilling and "quick" read. I quickly devoured each and every page and the story does keep you on your toes. The ending was very creative but can be predictable during the last 30 pages or so. The book does have a bit of sexual and physical violence so it might not be for everyone. A good read for a boring train ride as it will keep you on the edge of your seat -- just make sure you don't miss your stop like I did.
