Moreover, there were a lot of twists and turns that never stopped surprising me again and again. This book gave me the chills while I was reading far into the night and the storyline kept me guessing constantly all the way through. He’s consistent, clever, courageous, and most of all, he never gives in. The plot was exceptional and the characters were appealing, especially the hero, David Riggs, who has such a strong character. It kept me curious and edgy almost the entire time. This was a great and entertaining suspense story, full of suspicion, danger, and many puzzles to solve. This book had me glued to every single page from the very start to the end. The Other Daughter was my first Lisa Gardner's book and I was utterly pleased with it. This was a fabulously un-put-down-able thriller of a read, and as I type this review on a balcony at the beach, this was a perfect read for me.

He has a past all of his own (as don’t they all?!) and patiently helps Melanie work out the murky waters that are her adopted family. I could see him having his own series, I love my cool broody protagonists. The moment things start going pear-shaped we meet FBI Agent David Griffin, the character I most loved to read about. Refusing to believe there could be trouble in this weird paradise. She’s taken the place of the ‘other’ daughter, Meagan who was brutally murdered at 4 years of age. Most of which could she be the daughter of a serial killer? She’s always felt loved by her grieving mum, her troubled brother, her hard working but gruff father, and lastly her seemingly loving Godfather. Melanie has been adopted into a troubled, rich family who hold many secrets. I read a lot during a holiday commute and could not put it down. What a great read this author always delivers, so glad I chose this one when I did.
