Publisher's Summary

Twenty years ago, Melanie Stokes was abandoned in a Boston hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple. Gifted with loving parents, a doting brother, and an indulgent uncle, Melanie has always considered herself lucky. Until the first cryptic, threatening note arrives: “You Get What You Deserve.”

Melanie has no memory of her life before the adoption. Now someone wants her to remember it all - even the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter. As Melanie pursues every lead and chases every shadow in search of her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from her past will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth.

Another hit for Lisa Gardner!

Great story with lots of twists and turns. Ms.Gardner never fails to keep the reader enthralled in her stories. I even listened to it twice!

Thrilling and suspenseful

What an amazing read ...the story started off very excitingly from the 1st chapter. As the story progressed I did not want to stop listening. The ending was well thought out.

A bit cheesy at points but overall a good story

I enjoyed this story overall. I wondered constantly who was the killer and instigator. the main character was good but I did find her a bit stressed out. although I guess it's understandable considering what she was going through. I liked it.

Overall Good

I really liked the twists and turns in this book. However, it was ruined slightly by the cliche love story.

Superb Mystery/Thriller

This book was suggested to me by the Audible people...spam email with an offer for a deal. I am glad I took a chance on it. It has lots of twists, good characters, and a decent plot. It kept me guessing throughout. Its a little bit too neat, I suppose (Everything ending up fitting "just so").. but it was entertaining nonetheless.

My biggest complaint is with the performance: Brittany Pressley is very good (excellent pace and clear interest in the text), but waay overenunciates. At times she sounds like Metallica's Hetfield, ending each sentence with an "ah". It's a little bit distracting from an excellent story.

Altogether, I give this excellent book 8 stars out of 10.
