Another Coup for Gardner!

In my studies of history through the years, I could never understand why the royalty of Europe felt they had the "divine right" to rule.  Gardner's book connects the white powder of gold of alchemy, the Sumerian  story of the creation of man by the Annanaki, and the historical Jesus that  has been so elusive for some many historians, together into a totally  believable story of our history. While many dispute the conclusions about  Jesus and his lineage, it is apparent that he was the Son of God because he  was of the Dragon Lineage, a descendant of Enki and the Pharoahs of Egypt.  While a conspiracy may exist to suppress this information, this explains so  much of the historical Jesus by tying it to the Sumerian Annanaki, and a  Illuminated ruling class.  The identity of the Mount of the Testimony as a  giant foundry for producing the white powder of gold was fascinating, as it  explains the building of the great stone structures of the ancient world  through the weightlessness properties of the "manna".  This book  brings together my favorite topics as truth, although one has to be careful  to accept everything someone has written.  I believe that it has a ring of  truth, but I continue to search for the rest of the truth.

First book of the year that I finished! Find Her was another great novel by Lisa Gardner, filled with suspense, intensity, and courage. There was also a lot of disturbing graphic events the kidnap victims had to endure. Not too much gore and trauma for me, but it definitely pushes the boundaries on that aspect. Flora Dane spent over 400 days kidnapped. She's rescued, but is never the same again. (That's not a spoiler, it's in the summary.) And that's just where the story begins. The author takes us on another thrilling ride to solve the mystery and find the victims before it's too late. *I originally posted this review on Goodreads.*

This is another great read from talented Ms. Gardner.  Since I have not read "The Perfect Husband" I came to this book with an open mind and was not disappointed.  This was a fast paced read, with plenty of twists and turns that kept you guess until the final chapter.  This was not a rushed ending and I felt that the key pieces were tied together nicely at the end.
Melanie Stokes is an adopted child.  Her life for the last 20-years has been perfect.  But suddenly her perfect life is starting to unwind.  A reporter from Texas has come to Boston to confront Melanie on her parentage.  He believes that she is the daughter of a serial killer and that her adopted parents have adopted the child of the monster that took away their perfect Meagan.  At first Melanie does not believe it...after all how could her parents adopt her if they knew her past?  Then David Riggs walks into the picture.  She meets him as a waiter but finds out that he is really FBI investigating her father for insurance fraud.  Now things she never thought possible about her life now seem possible.  Melanie doesn't think that there is anyone that she can trust except for David.  Together they start to work on solving the mystery of Melanie's past and uncover a murder that took place twenty years earlier.
As I stated before I found this book to be very entertaining and a fast read.  The character's are well developed and the relationships between the many character's that make up this book are complex but explained if you read carefully.  If you enjoy a good suspense story then you will want to pick up this book.

This is the first Lisa Gardner book I've read and am looking forward to her others.  From the first page you're hooked.  Superb character and plot development.  Gardner keeps you guessing until literally the last page in the fast paced who-dun-it.

I loved this book!  There were more surprises than I expected, and even though I knew several people said it was a "tear jerker" I didn't think I would cry.  Well... it was that way!! Well done Carre Gardner!!  Can't wait for your next series!

I am a huge Lisa Gardner fan, so I was not surprised at all by how much I loved this book.  I was completely enthralled from chapter one.  Everyone in a family holds secrets, and sometimes those secrets can tear the family apart.  When this family is kidnapped and tortured by hired assailants, they realize that forgiveness and sacrifice is their only fighting chance.  Mystery, family drama, and even new love connections combine to make this one of Gardner's best books to to date.  I couldn't put it down, not even during The Big Bang; now that is the mark of greatness!!

Collins has done a terrific job of developing the characters in this drama series.  Just when you think you have a plot figured out, there is another twist or turn! I look forward to the conclusion in book #5.  I'm sure I'll be surprised!

As always, Lisa Gardner writes a can't put it down story/book.
I always know when I purchase a Lisa Gardner book that I will be pleased and can't wait for her next book!
All her books are good and I can't put them down once I start reading them!

It's always a pleasure to read anything by Martin Gardner. By getting his works on disk, I can have them on my laptop - much easier than books. The only reason I give this collection 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would have liked the books to be in a more searchable format than PDFs - a minor complaint.

D.D. is my favorite character - she is tough, judicious & blonde. with that being said, this book hooked me.  Lisa Gardner flushes out her characters, the plot corners on rails, while you are trying to figure out whom the other bad guy really is. Much to my chagrin, I bet on the wrong bad guy, but this book rocked my weekend!

Suspenseful .  A great Whodunit and Why.  Interesting and likeable recurring detectives. Gardner dependably writes interesting suspense without becoming overly predictable.
