Live to Tell - Lisa Gardner















Live to Tell - Lisa Gardner (2010)

Across Boston neighbourhoods, families are being tormented by troubled children.  I enjoyed the beginning of the book, with the story of detective D.D. Warren who is investigating several murders of whole families and Victoria, a nurse in a pediatric mental health ward, who has her own troubled past.  I have seen the Oprah show on kids like these, and it must be horrid to live with your own child who is threatening  to kill you.

The middle of the book was the set up for the end stage, which is the part of the book I seem to dislike most in a thriller, as it always seem to end up the same way.  With the protagonist detective/police Sargent being chased/kidnapped/trapped.  So it is a 3/5.
