Prepare to do nothing else but read for a while!
Despite my best intentions to take my time and get other things done I could not stay away from this collection of three books. Compelling, certainly thrilling and just a little creepy at times. You will be taken hold of, and you will read them in days rather than weeks. 'The Perfect Husband' will have you shouting at the book, 'The Other Daughter' will make you ache with anxiety and 'The Third Victim' will shake you to the core. Great characters. Great plots. Who could ask for more?

Fantastic
I came across Lisa Gardner when Amazon suggested I would like her, as I have bought books by Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, Karin Slaughter and Martina Cole in the past. How right they were! Lisa Gardner is a very talented writer, with shocks on each page. I took this book (along with her other trilogy) on my beach holiday to Florida this year and read all 6 within a week. Fantastic - if you like the authors I have named, try her. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent
Such a good buy - 3 excellent books in one - I couldn't leave it down when I started to read The Perfect Husband definitely 5 stars! The other daughter and The Third Victim I'd give 4 stars - truly enjoyable
