Product Description

Afraid of spiders...? You should be. Creepy crawlies take on a whole new meaning for the working girls of Sandy Springs, Atlanta, when a client comes to the red light district looking for something different. He wants girls to let his pet spiders walk all over them. Seems like a simple, if strange, request - but not all the girls come back. When FBI field officer Kimberly Quincy gets called out to talk to one of the girls, she's already got enough on her mind. What was a routine evidence-tagging session at the scene of a cargo plane crash has gone horribly wrong. Just when they'd recovered all the crew bodies, they get an unwelcome surprise...an extra body caught in a tree. Without a head. When Kimberly finally gets home to think it all through, and climbs into bed next to her husband Mac, a phone call shatters the peace and proves that the nightmare is only just beginning. On the other end of the line, a muffled cry and the sound of metal on flesh...

FANTASTIC!!!!!
Kimberly Quincy is back is this fast paced, "cannot put it down" thriller. The story starts by introducing back to the scene Kimberly and her husband Mac who are looking forward to the arrival of their first child. With Kimberly pregnant, Mac wants her to reduce her workload and spend more time looking after herself. But in true Quincy fashion she does the complete opposite and becomes involved in an unusual case that is started on a hunch of a fellow officer. Missing prostitutes are what starts the case off, along with bizzare twists in the case including spiders and young boys. Truly gripping story which I read in a day and a half. Could NOT put this book down and was pleased with the return of much loved characters. Lisa Gardner did not dissapoint in any way shape or form with this book and it was a pleasure to read

Fantastic - Gardner just gets better and better
I think I said this in my review for Lisa Gardner's last book - Hide - but this author really does get better and better with every book she writes. Say Goodbye was absolutely brilliant!!! Gripping from start to finish with the most shocking and disturbing storyline she has come up with yet!! I thought the antagonist was the most intriguing 'baddie' I have yet to read in any crime/thriller. On the one hand, he is an absolute monster, an abomination of the human race, but on the flip side you feel and understand him. It's these contrasting emotions that make the book horribly eerie. And the use of spiders is also guaranteed to make your skin crawl.

I couldn't put this book down while I was reading it and I just didn't want it to end. It was so emotionally and psychologically arresting and I think it will have a strong effect on anyone reading it. I just can't believe Lisa Gardner isn't more popular then she currently is because this truly is crime writing at it's best!!!

Spiders?
Say Goodbye


A fast paced thriller that I found myself unable to put down. Despite being an arachnaphobe I was stunned by my own curiosity at the innumerable facts I learned about spiders. As usual Lisa Gardner has created not just a gripping plot but believable characters with their own problems to solve as well. Interesting to go through the process of catching a killer with no bodies and no evidence of a crime. Totally absorbing. Can't wait for the next book.
