Finished: Never Tell (Gardner) Another great page-turning mystery by Lisa Gardner that brings together three of her main characters from her previous books: Detective D.D. Warren, who has a complete series all her own; FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, who is the daughter of FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy, the character who originally got me hooked on Gardner's books; and Flora Dane, a victim of an abduction that lasted for over a year until she was finally rescued when Kimberly Quincy figured out the case! In subsequent books, D.D. has recruited Flora to be her confidential informant on a few cases that were similar to hers, and she's now become invaluable to D.D. When a young husband is shot in his own home, and the police arrive to see the wife standing at the top of the stairs with a gun in her hand, D.D. is on the case. She's shocked to see that the wife is a woman who accidentally killed her father 16 years before when D.D. was a new detective. When it looks like the case could indirectly involve the monster (now dead) who kidnapped Flora six years before, all three women work together to solve the complicated case. The nice thing about this book is that it came out last year so I literally don't have to wait for the next Gardener book...I just got it as well! And that book is a continuation of the three ladies working together again...this time to figure out of Flora's kidnapper had other victims before her. :-)
