He knows everything about you—including the first place you’ll hide.
On a warm summer night in one of Boston’s working-class neighborhoods, an unthinkable crime has been committed: Four members of a family have been brutally murdered. The father—and possible suspect—now lies clinging to life in the ICU. Murder-suicide? Or something worse? Veteran police detective D. D. Warren is certain of only one thing: There’s more to this case than meets the eye.
Danielle Burton is a survivor, a dedicated nurse whose passion is to help children at a locked-down pediatric psych ward. But she remains haunted by a family tragedy that shattered her life nearly twenty-five years ago. The dark anniversary is approaching, and when D. D. Warren and her partner show up at the facility, Danielle immediately realizes: It has started again.
A devoted mother, Victoria Oliver has a hard time remembering what normalcy is like. But she will do anything to ensure that her troubled son has some semblance of a childhood. She will love him no matter what. Nurture him. Keep him safe. Protect him. Even when the threat comes from within her own house.
The lives of these three women unfold and connect in unexpected ways, as sins from the past emerge—and stunning secrets reveal just how tightly blood ties can bind. Sometimes the most devastating crimes are the ones closest to home.

Live to tell
Who done it that keeps you jumping from character to character until the very end! Loved this book.
Live To Tell
Really interesting characters, although the main character DD was the least-developed and the most shallow. Even though DD is the main character in many of Lisa Gardner's books, I found her to be unconvincing in this one, particularly the constant repitition of her sexual appetite as well as her actual appetite. Very overdone and annoying. Come on, we get it! Maybe she could have spent a little more time on this one making all the characters have more depth? Otherwise, good story development that moves at a crisp pace and rarely leaves the reader bored. Good read.
Consider the characters
Fast-paced, story moves along. Good character studies just enough to move the story along and piquing interest later.
