I really thought I was going to like this. I devoured the first 20 chapters pretty fast considering how short they are but things started to go left. I was sick of ALL the perspectives. Omg why was there so many?! And why was everything repeated a 100xs. Sooo annoying. Then the ending didnât make sense and I could have just read the epilogue cause that was mainly a recap of the whole story. This book has been sitting on my shelf for almost a year and now that I finally got to read it Iâm really disappointed I didnât like it. Mm.

Synopsis: Telly Ray Nash beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both his and his younger sisterâs life. Now, 13 years old, Sharlah May Nash lives with retired FBI Profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner Rainie Conner, and they plan to adopt her. She is learning how to accept this new family of hers when a call comes in that two people were murdered at the local gas station. As Peirce and Ranie are called in to consult and assist in blistering heat, they discover mounting evidence that the suspect who is on a spree killing is none other than Sharlahâs older brother, Telly. Telly is on the run, and the detectives are on the hunt to track him down. But so is Sharlah. Sharlah is determined to find that Telly is the same brother who took her to the library because it was safe, who gave her Cheerios, and saved her life that fateful night.

Review: This is my first Lisa Gardner book and certainly wonât be my last! I love a good FBI profiling novel, and this didnât disappoint. I think Lisa Gardner did an excellent job at depicting a child (Sharlah) who went through unthinkable trauma growing up and how she is coping even years later. Trauma doesnât just go away. I loved the relationship she had with Quincy and Rainie, and even more with retired police german Shepherd Luka (oddly enough, my brother just got a German Shepherd and named him Luka!). The beginning is a bit on the slower side but it picks up and I couldnât wait to see what was at the conclusion of this book. This book had great suspense, heartfelt family moments, twists, and a lot more. Lisa Gardner weaved together a great novel that makes you think twice if you know what evil looks like.

Tradução.
Ă o sĂŠtimo livro de uma sĂŠrie. Mas pode ser lido individualmente.
Um suspense que mistura elementos de investigação e tretas de famĂlia.
No caso, a parte famĂlia ĂŠ o foco e os crimes sĂŁo sĂł pra dar um gostinho extra e mover a histĂłria.
A Lisa Gardner ĂŠ best-seller lĂĄ fora. Tem uma base de fĂŁs muito fiel. EntĂŁo acho que deve ser um daqueles autores que estabelece um estilo e cultiva ao longo da carreira.

4/5âď¸ - {Right Behind You} could be somewhere between a 3.5 and 4. Taking place in the span of one day, Lisa Gardenerâs 7th in her series is a page turner you will struggle to put down.

Telly and Sharlah were separated eight years ago when Telly took a bat to his father and killed him after nine years of abuse. Now Eight years later, Sharlah is with foster parents Quincy and Rainie, retired criminal profilers, who receive a call from the local police that a boy has murdered his foster parents and two locals. Chasing down a teenager on a murder spree, they learn the boy is Sharlahâs older brother.
â˘
This one is not your typical gory thriller with disturbing twists and turns. Gardnerâs book has a heart and soul at its center, and the character relationships bond you instantly to the story line. I enjoyed all of it except the ending. Nothing was necessarily wrong, but Iâm just not the fan of the big reveal where thereâs a big confession.
â˘
Would definitely recommend if youâve been reading the same thrillers over and over and need something that feels different.

So, this was my latest Lisa Gardner fix (that's exactly what it is, I devoured all her books !) : this novel was awesome, as always with this author !
The beginning gripped me, something terrible happened, other terrible things happen years later and you think you know what's going on and how it's all going to end (in tears and violence) and hop, you discover something else and now you're on a completely different track ! And you remain biting your nails on the edge of your seat, hoping this will end up well but knowing that hope is shallow. Well done, Lisa Gardner !
Now I've got to wait until next february to get my next fix...

I have read every single one of Lisa Gardner's D.D. Warren series, but I think this was my first Quincy & Rainie. I think I prefer D.D. Warren, but this was really good as well. There's as much focus on family dynamics as there is on the mystery, so it's a little less action-packed than I expected, but the family stuff was still fairly compelling. The mystery was really great most of the way through, but it got a bit more convoluted than I could really understand at the end. Mostly because I don't understand how offshore accounts work, and the mechanics of what everyone was trying to do, and I didn't even quite grasp how just having the account number for this bank was an "insurance policy" for Sandra. I will definitely be going back to read more in this series while I eagerly await more D.D. Warren (would also love to see a return of Tessa Leoni!)
I would think I had everything figured out and then there was a twist. Not an excessive amount of plot twists though. This is the only book in the series that I've read, but I enjoyed it a lot!
