I really didn't expect to enjoy this as much as i did.
It was in a charity shop and seemed kind of interesting so picked it up.
Every time i thought i had it figured out, anther twist would happened.
There was no was i could guess what was going to happen.
This story was also really well written.
I highly recommend this and will definitely keep my eyes open for more by this author.

I struggled with this one. I put it down and picked it back up multiple times. Honestly, if we hadn't been in COVID-19 lockdown and my library closed, I might have returned this book incomplete.
I guessed most of the main plot twists before their reveal, which I tend to find annoying. None of the characters was especially appealing, either in a good way or bad.

Wow. What a complex book. I wouldn't have ever guessed half of it. The title is perfect. I don't know how it will work as a reread, knowing the ending already, but wow. Great first read.
I must admit that I was disappointed Tessa Leoni plays such a small role in this book. I expected her to be at least as involved as she was in Touch & Go, but this story focused mainly on Wyatt and the case. The story itself was engaging, but again, I would have preferred Tessa instead of Wyatt. *sigh*
New rule - can’t start a new Lisa Gardner within a few hours of bedtime because I just can’t stand to put them down. Here it is 2am and I already fear for what tomorrow looks like but DAMN this book was good.
Ik las al beter van deze auteur. Ik vind het tof om door een boek op het verkeerde been gezet te worden, maar je kunt het trucje maar zoveel keer uithalen. Dit boek deed het een keer of drie teveel waardoor ik op den duur wat met mijn ogen zat te rollen.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
The story starts out with a terrible car wreck…Vero wants to fly… and from there the story twists and turns and dives and twists some more. It gets terribly dark in places and has the reader thinking “Where can this author be taking us?”
Nicky Frank has had a life beyond imagination and has forgotten more than she remembers. She has had 2 recent events that cause concussions before the car accident and now her entire past is coming back to her is bits and pieces.
Sergeant Wyatt Foster doesn’t know what to believe. Nicky and her husband Thomas do not have much of a traceable past, no friends, no family. Is Thomas abusing his wife? Are her memories real or make believe? Could they be tied to other crimes? And if it happened, where did it happen? Why would someone want to kill Nicky Frank? He has very little physical evidence to work with and someone keeps trying to block the very slim trail it leads to.
Lisa Gardner is best selling author for a very good reason. Her stories are so dynamic that once you start reading you can’t stop. This is definitely a book that will cause a book hangover. Just when you think you have figured out what is happening or find a good stopping point Gardner twists the story inside out and you have to keep reading and reading and reading and then you reach the end and all you can say is WOW! I didn’t see that coming!
This story has been publicized as a stand alone with with a cameo by her fan-favorite character, Boston Detective D.D. Warren, but it seems to be the third book featuring Tessa Leoni with appearances by D.D. Warren. It also appears Tessa was introduced in books in the D.D. Warren series. I have read a few of Gardner’s FBI Profiler series and I grabbed this one because she was an author I truly enjoyed. Now I want to go back and read them all. Checking online these two series are very intertwined and some are listed as stand alones like this one so it does get pretty confusing.
I am usually a stickler for reading series books in order but I have to tell you this book does read excellently as a stand alone as advertized and If you like a really good psychological thriller you should add Cash & Burn to your list.

I thought the book was too repetitive in places and wish there had been more effective characterization of the law enforcement professionals.
