About this listen

 “A suspenseful roller-coaster ride.”—Karin Slaughter • “Lisa Gardner always delivers heart-stopping suspense.”—Harlan Coben

He knows everything about you—including the first place you’ll hide.
 
On a warm summer night in one of Boston’s working-class neighborhoods, an unthinkable crime has been committed: Four members of a family have been brutally murdered. The father—and possible suspect—now lies clinging to life in the ICU. Murder-suicide? Or something worse? Veteran police detective D. D. Warren is certain of only one thing: There’s more to this case than meets the eye.

Danielle Burton is a survivor, a dedicated nurse whose passion is to help children at a locked-down pediatric psych ward. But she remains haunted by a family tragedy that shattered her life nearly twenty-five years ago. The dark anniversary is approaching, and when D. D. Warren and her partner show up at the facility, Danielle immediately realizes: It has started again.

A devoted mother, Victoria Oliver has a hard time remembering what normalcy is like. But she will do anything to ensure that her troubled son has some semblance of a childhood. She will love him no matter what. Nurture him. Keep him safe. Protect him. Even when the threat comes from within her own house. 

The lives of these three women unfold and connect in unexpected ways, as sins from the past emerge—and stunning secrets reveal just how tightly blood ties can bind. Sometimes the most devastating crimes are the ones closest to home.

Most relevant
Very atypical, speaks about psychotic children and home violence. I found the number of important characters slightly unnerving. Had to concentrate to follow, as
the story jumps from Danielle to Victoria, with D.D. in between plus this facility for mentally disturbed children with its lot of characters. But it is worth concentrating
and very moving. Lucy has moved me very much. Characters are depicted well, vividly. Unexpected turns all the time!

A very interesting thriller

A very good story with lots going on, but not difficult to follow. An insight into children and how horrid things can be when life isn't normal.

Great

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A number of sex references which seems to be a theme in most books now but the story itself was hard to put down! Found myself looking forward to times I could get away with listening more to this one.

Engrossing

What did you like most about Live to Tell?

The use of more than one narrator kept this storyline rolling along. As each one moved on, you are always left with a fee;ing of having misplaced something you need

Lisa Gardner takes your breath away
