Indlæser... Find Heraf Lisa Gardner
   Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  3.5 Stars Upon arriving at a crime scene in which the victim was burned alive, Detective D. D. Warren is surprised to learn that the perpetrator is actually a young woman defending herself against a vicious rapist. But the more D. D. learns about Flora Danes, the more she suspects a case of vigilante justice. When Flora disappears, D. D. realizes that the hunter might just have become the hunted. Lisa Gardner has a tendency to write problematic protagonists. Sometimes this works (Tessa Leoni) and sometimes it doesn't (Adeline Glen). In this case, it is successful as Flora Danes is one of the most damaged characters Gardner has produced, yet she still manages to resonate and evoke sympathy and empathy. The majority of the book focuses on Flora's experiences at the hands of a sadistic kidnapper, rapist and killer. While these are presented in 1st person POV, which makes reading about her suffering more difficult, it also emphasizes her courage and resilience. Although the identity of the villain is rather obvious, the climax and resolution are exciting and satisfying. With regard to D.D., she has grown and changed over the series and it is good to see her so comfortable with her husband and son. Suffice it to say that Alex has the patience of a saint when it comes to his wife and Jack is simply gorgeous. Overall, a good addition to the series.
