I did like this. But it was long and I found myself bored and skimming during parts that had too much detail and repetition. But I did like the story overall, the characters and I liked the ending.
Wow. That was a good story. Hard to read in the first half, because you fear the outcome. Really enjoyed the character development in this.
had a good back story twist but was a bit predictable in spots
Right Behind You
I'm a huge fan of Lisa Gardner, and Right Behind You did not disappoint. The twists and turns in this story kept me guessing right up until the end. I especially liked how the chapters were by or about different characters. I hope we don't have to wait so long for another Quincy and Rainie story.

I loved this book! I had been hearing so many things about this book and I couldn't wait to get a copy. I've never read any other Lisa Gardner books, and this one didn't disappoint.
After a double murder at a local gas station, retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner are brought in to investigate. All of the evidence points to a young man, Telly Ray Nash. Which proves to be difficult for them, as he is the older brother to their soon-to-be adopted daughter, 13 year old Sharlah May Nash. Quincy and Rainie must race against the clock to find Telly because his shooting spree shows no end in sight as he makes his way through the woods of Oregon. Eight years prior, Telly had beaten their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now that Sharlah has finally moved on from that night she must now ask herself, is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much will this cost her new family before they learn the final truth?
This book had me guessing until the very end! I really enjoyed it, as well as the writing style. Going back and forth from present day to flashbacks. While this book did great as a stand alone, I feel that I would have been more invested in the main characters had I read the other Lisa Gardner books! So something to start soon!
A big thanks to Dutton and Netgalley for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great suspense thriller. I loved the premise of the foster children.
This book was a bit far fetched and at the same time was too technical for me. It was predictable and the back cover gave at least half of the book away! I still enjoyed reading the last 1/4 of the book. It really picked up and despite my issues believing in the plot, I wanted to know what happened. A decent mystery thriller. I might go back and check out some of her earlier work.
My first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. Lots of good psychological/crime/suspense action with LOTS of plot twists! The characters were minimally relatable but I cared about what happened to them and looked forward to reading. Solid pick for suspense!
I listened to the audiobook of this, and I have to say I really enjoyed the narrators and I think they really enhanced this story more than I could have done myself if I had read a physical copy.
Though it says it's 7th in a series, it doesn't read that way, as I've never read anything else about these characters before. I'm assuming each book is more like a standalone than a series.
Right off the bat I was drawn into this because it begins with a young boy and girl, growing up in an abusive and neglective home, where they witness their father kill their mother and in turn they kill him. They are then separated into foster homes and it isn't until a killing spree happens where the boy is the main suspect that they meet again.
This was full of action but it was also full of insight into the thoughts of cops and detectives, as well as killers, to show how they solve cases and why some criminals do what they do. It wasn't presented in a boring bland manner and there were twists and turns along the way. Some of which I saw coming, and others not so much. There were times when I was like "wow, ok, case solved" and then look and there would be another 4 hours to go so I knew things were going to get more intense.
They only thing holding this back from a 5 star rating is that the end felt like it was resolved kind of in a sloppy fashion. After all the analytical talk and building up to the end, as the case was unraveled it felt like it was being deflated too much by that point to enjoy. Sometimes trying to grow too much suspense can backfire because it becomes tiresome, and that was how the ending of this felt.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this audiobook and would recommend it, especially for first time listeners.
