Finished: Catch Me (Gardner). Fast-paced, whodunit by one of my favorite authors. :-) I read my first Lisa Gardner book on an airplane back from a trip to Oregon, (buying a book in the Portland airport was the same way I discovered Harlan Coben!) and I've been hooked on her books ever since. The first book of hers I read, The Third Victim, featured a female cop named Rainie Conner who teamed up with an FBI profiler, Pierce Quincy, to solve a school shooting. After that, there were five more books dealing with Quincy and Rainie and their relationship and their families. One of the books dealt with the death of Quincy's ex-wife and one of his daughters by a killer. Then, in another book, his other daughter, Kimberly Quincy has become a young FBI agent herself and she helps catch a serial killer. That book, The Killing Hour, is even among my list of favorite books. Anyway, Kimberly falls in love with a state trooper named Mac, and they're still married with two young daughters and have a mention in this newest book I just read! Even Quincy makes an appearance in Catch Me to help out the main detective in the book, D. D. Warren.

D. D. Warren is a Boston Police Department detective who has been featured in six of Gardner's books herself, and I've loved watching her grow, solve crimes, be in danger, fall in love and now have a baby...all while maintaining her gruff exterior. :-) Catch Me was another page turner that I couldn't put down! All about  a young woman named Charlie whose two best friends were both killed on the same day one year apart. Now, that day is approaching again and Charlie just knows she'll be killed next. She goes to D. D. Warren to tell her she believes her life is in danger and she'll be dead in four days! Meanwhile, D. D. Warren has a new baby at home, a boyfriend who dearly wants to marry her, a killer on the loose who is targeting pedophiles, and a gungho new associate who works in the child crimes department and who bulldozes her way onto the case, much like a young D.D. Warren used to do, as she wants desperately to catch the killer. Little does anyone know that the new officer is really the younger sister of Charlie. Both girls were terribly abused as little girls by their mother, and even watched their mother suffocate two younger siblings. Charlie had been rescued by an aunt when she was little, but no one knew of her little sister, Abigail's, existence. So...did she grow up to be a cop or a killer? Hmmm....

It's definitely more complicated than that...and more nail-biting to read. :-) Another great Lisa Gardner book!
