Book Spotlight – Never Tell by Lisa Gardner

Last February, I read Never Tell
by Lisa Gardner, the latest book in her Detective D.D. Warren series,
when it was first released in hardcover, and I loved it! You can find my
thoughts on the book here. On August 6th the book is being released in trade paperback and to celebrate, I
am helping the publishers get the word out.

in its trade paperback format will be the beach bag accessory of the
summer. It’s a perfect introduction to Lisa Gardner for new readers and
an exciting addition for dedicated fans. And for those dedicated fans,

Title: Never Tell

Author: Lisa Gardner

Series: Detective D.D. Warren, #10

Published: August 2019, Dutton

Summary:

#1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner returns with an
unpredictable thriller that puts fan favorites D. D. Warren and Flora
Dane on a shocking new case that begins with a vicious murder and gets
darker from there.

A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his
computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his
pregnant wife is holding the gun.

D. D. Warren arrives on the
scene and recognizes the woman–Evie Carter–from a case many years
back. Evie’s father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident.
But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many.

Flora Dane
sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows
his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim–a
hostage–and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she
never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn the truth of
Conrad’s murder.

But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in
this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing. As layer by layer
they peel away the half-truths and outright lies, they wonder: How many
secrets can one family have?

one of her best, and newcomers will be in awe of the compelling story
and unpredictability of the proceedings.”—Associated Press

something.”—David Baldacci
