Publisher Description
Twenty years ago, Melanie Stokes was abandoned in a Boston hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple. Gifted with loving parents, a doting brother, and an indulgent uncle, Melanie has always considered herself lucky. Until the first cryptic, threatening note arrives: “You Get What You Deserve.”
Melanie has no memory of her life before the adoption. Now someone wants her to remember it all—even the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter. As Melanie pursues every lead and chases every shadow in search of her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from her past will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lisa Gardner's Love You More.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her newest, Gardner (The Perfect Husband) indulges her fascination with the dark side of family life, where the ties that bind also gag, choke and strangle. Professional event planner Melanie Stokes does not suspect that the death of a serial killer in a Texas electric chair 20 years before could have any relevance to her neatly ordered existence. But as it becomes clear that the life she's known (as the adopted daughter of Boston cardiologist Harper Stokes and his trophy wife, Patricia) is based on ugly secrets and bloody lies, her world unravels. With the help of FBI
Customer Reviews
Excellent!!!!
One of the first book that I read of Lisa Gardner and it wasn't the last. The beginning a little bit boring,but after that I couldn't put the book down. G
Disappointing Ending
Kept me intrigued until the end. Not what I was expecting, but very far-fetched!
The other daughter
Another great book.i love a book where I can't figure out who did it until the last chapter.
