Sunday Suspense: Fear Nothing by Lisa Gardner

 

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

  

   Fear Nothing is written by Lisa Gardner, and it is the 7th book in her best-selling series featuring Sergeant Detective D.D. Warren. We are quickly pulled into a grisly case that appears to be the work of a serial murderer, dubbed the Rose Killer. This macabre psychopath is leaving almost pristine crime scenes even though his (or her) victims are flayed postmortem. This is very similar to what notorious killer, Harry Day, did to his victims forty years prior. Harry is survived by his daughter Shana Day, a famous murderer in her own right, and her psychiatrist sister, Dr. Adeline Glen. 

  Detective D.D. Warren is on an extended leave of absence after an on-the-job accident.  Dr. Glen is recommended to Warren as the psychiatrist that can help D.D. regain some of her sanity. Soon the Rose Killer is connected to Harry Day's past crimes, making Adeline more than a doctor to Warren. She is a walking talking crime file of her father's past deeds, and with her knowledge of and access to old case files, she joins the investigation. But Adeline's sister, Shana, wants to help, as well. She makes a bargain: a twenty-four-hour furlough from her now thirty years of incarceration. In return, she will lie in wait for the Rose Killer, whom she believes is targeting Adeline next. What deadly secret from Shana's past holds the key to solving this latest rampage? 

   This book was a crazy and wild ride. I was truly invested in the complex and entertaining story of the Day sisters and their family's legacy. It sailed along with a narrative so addicting that I could not put this book down for several hours. Each plot was carefully embedded in my mind as I read on, and I was faced with many moments of disbelief that lead to a nail-biting finale. 

  I also enjoyed Fear Nothing with the audio presentation read by long-time Lisa Gardner narrator, Kirsten Potter. As always it was an amazing journey with Potter's acting skills at their best. Her delivery of all of Gardner's characters was done with pointed and expert skill. Whether she read a Boston detective, psychotic murderer, or prominent psychiatrist, she never failed to bring grand theater to Fear Nothing.

  As always I was not disappointed in Lisa Gardner's ability to offer up a highly entertaining thriller. I gave Fear Nothing four out of five stars. An excellent mystery.
