Finished: Look For Me (Gardner) Another kind-of page-turner from one of my favorite mystery authors. The author brings back Detective D.D. Warren for a case where a mother, step-father, thirteen year old daughter and 9 year old son have all been killed in the home, while the sixteen year old daughter is missing, along with the family dogs. What ensues is a mystery of who killed the family and why. Could it have been the missing Roxanne Baez, who by all accounts is the smart, responsible one who was basically a mother to her brother and sister when her mother spent many alcoholic nights not being responsible? Roxy, though, adores her brother and sister and would never do anything to hurt them. Could it have been one of the other foster children from the home that Roxy and her sister, Lola, were put in for a year at the ages of eleven and eight when they were taken away from their mother; their mother who cleaned up her act, got sober, and got a steady job as a nurse...but not before both Roxy and Lola had been emotionally and sexually abused at the hands of an older foster boy, Roberto. Could it have been the female gang that young Lola is now a member of lashing out in retaliation for some gang related activity? Or, could it have been the girlfriend of the Roberto, seeking revenge for his apparent suicide, which she believes Roxy and Lola are responsible for years later? Also added into the mix is a character from another of the author's novels, Flora Dane. Flora was a kidnap and torture victim who had been found and rescued by D.D. Warren, but not before Flora herself had finally escaped her coffin cell and burned alive her over  year long tormentor. Flora now helps other victims of violence become whole again, not to mention self-sufficient in their own protection. She also runs a website chat room for victims which Roxy Baez has recently joined! So, between D. D. Warren's detective work and Flora Dane's street work, they finally figure out who had the motive to kill Roxy's family, and they also locate Roxy. A final show down with the major players reveals the killer in the end, and it is the one person who Roxy had ever been able to count on at the foster home and later in high school, her one friend, Mike. He was so worried that Lola's involvement in the gang would bring Roxy into a dangerous situation, or that her mother would fall off the wagon, or that her little brother would become so dependent on her that she'd give up everything for him, that he killed her entire family. hmmm. Anyway, so, the book itself was a pretty good page-turner, but not enough to keep me reading day and night until I finished. I don't know if I've just grown a little tired of these books or if this one just wasn't quite as up to snuff as Lisa Gardner's others. I'm still a huge fan of her books though. :-)
