by Lisa Gardner
Twenty years ago, nine-year-old Melanie Stokes was found abandoned in a Boston hospital. She soon found a family with a wealthy couple who lost their own daughter years earlier to murder. Now Melanie and her family are receiving strange messages and Melanie is forced to re-examine the circumstances of her abandonment and the death of the Stokes' first daughter.
I had heard a lot about this author from my friend Maryann, who also reviews books over at her site Kickin It With My Kindle so I was excited to pick this one up. It's a stand-alone book, whereas Gardner also has two ongoing series. I really enjoyed this book. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept the reader on the edge of their seat.
One thing I especially liked was that early on in the book, Melanie gets a pretty good idea of what's going on. But does she? Ha ha, I won't ruin it for you, but I will say this: the second you think you have this book figured out, Gardner pulls a fast one and keeps you guessing. But don't worry, everything ties together in the end and makes sense.
I look forward to reading more by Lisa Gardner.
