Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lisa Gardner, the New York Times bestselling author of Hide and Gone, draws us into the venomous mind games of her most terrifying killer yet.

Come into my parlor . . .

For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true—but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.

Said the spider to the fly . . .

As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren’t exactly Kimberly’s specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant—she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly’s own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it’s all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder . . . or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.

Kimberly’s caught in a web more lethal than any spider’s, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she’s trapped. What she doesn’t know is that she’s close—too close—to a psychopath who makes women’s nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won’t be long before it’s time for Kimberly to . . .

Review:

"In bestseller Gardner's engaging if highly disturbing 10th thriller, Delilah Rose is a Georgia prostitute familiar with pregnant FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy ('beautiful, brainy, and pedigreed') through Kimberly's well-publicized nabbing of the Eco-Killer in The Killing Hour (2003). Delilah asks the detective to investigate her friend Ginny Jones's possible abduction by a creepy-crawly john who calls himself Dinchara, an anagram of 'arachnid.' Delilah, however, turns out not to be who she claims she is, and her ties to the spider-obsessed killer are more complicated than she'll admit. As the missing persons count rises, some readers may have trouble keeping track of the time sequence amid the shifting points-of-view. Still, Gardner delivers a satisfying resolution in line with what her fans have come to expect: a suspenseful freak show wrapped up with a neatly tied bow. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

"Say Goodbye" by Lisa Gardner is a heart-pounding, mind-bending, breath-taking thriller. This was my first novel by this author, but I certainly know where to go next time I actually want to feel my skin crawl! The plot, the pacing, the build-up...all spin together to create a perfect web of suspense. The gradual building of the psychological profile of the killer encourages the reader to, in some respects, identify with the killer. The emotions drawn from the reader only add to your sense of horror as you follow the path that led the killer to this point. The protagonist, Kimberly Quincy, FBI, reappears from earlier novels along with her husband, father, and step-mother. Her quandry of how to stay true to her own self and be a supportive wife, and now expectant mother resonate with any woman whose tried to accomplish the same. She becomes real and in her own way, makes the discoveries of the killer's past, even more horrific.

If you read this book, you will be scared, you will be afraid, you will be horrified. You will feel pity, anger, powerless, and can almost taste the despair of the victims...and the killer. If you pick up this book, don't expect to be able to set it aside for any amount of time. The story and possibilities behind it will haunt you until you finish...and likely even afterwards.
