Summary: Disturbing Story
Comment: Lisa Garndiner's newest novel centers around child abuse and arachnids. Considering the disturbing aspect of one, and the unpleasant aspect of the other, I didn't really expect to enjoy the novel as much as I did. It was rather graphic at times, and rather sad, but I don't believe in sugar-coating subject matter. I'm sure abuse that happen as described. As for the spiders, I learned more than I probably wanted. *g*
The story itself had a few problems outside of the disturbing subject matter. There were so many characters which was a bit confusing. Also it was hard to tell where we were in the timeline at times or which character was actally narrating at the time. I often felt lost. The plot draggeda bit in the middle.
On the plus side, I liked the protagonists and their story which felt believable--dealing with a career that can be dangerous and being pregnant was interesting. The book kept me reading especially after the slow middle of the story and there was a twist at the end that I didn't see coming.
I wouldn't say this is one of my favorite of Lisa Gardiner's books, in fact, it may be least favorite, but I usually love her books, and it was still a good read overall.

Summary: Gardner's Worst
Comment: I truly enjoyed Alone. I thought it was cool to finally see a woman writer write a main male character so well and how she got all of the nuances down great. Say Goodbye on the other hand, was pretty awful. Without getting into a lot of particulars (and ruining any plot points), what bothered me the most was how truly unbelievable parts of the story were. I also got to the end of the book and I remember how I really didn't care much about the outcome. When that happens, you know the book you just read wasn't very good. I know that it's difficult to come up with fresh story lines, but at least Gardner should have tried and kept it believable. Don't bother with this one.

Summary: Say Goodbye
Comment: I like the book. Lisa is my favorite Author.. I have to say some of the material in the book is very hard to read but stuff like this happens in the world . The story is really good if you get through the childabuse .I love the last pages of the book what the last victim does is just genius.Can't wait for her next book.

Lisa Gardner, the New York Times bestselling author of Hide and Gone, draws us into the venomous mind games of her most terrifying killer yet.
Come into my parlor . . .
For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true—but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.
Said the spider to the fly . . .
As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren’t exactly Kimberly’s specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant—she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly’s own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it’s all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder . . . or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.
Kimberly’s caught in a web more lethal than any spider’s, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she’s trapped. What she doesn’t know is that she’s close—too close—to a psychopath who makes women’s nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won’t be long before it’s time for Kimberly to . . .
