About this audiobook

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Lisa Gardner’s latest thriller following her runaway hit Find Her takes her wildly popular brand of suspense to new heights.

Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters.

Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah’s older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun.

As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah’s big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you.

    This is the 7th boot in the 'Quincy & Rainie series by author Lisa Gardner and can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series. I have read quite a few Lisa Gardner books but this is only the second one I have read in this 'Quincy & Rainie series and found it very enjoyable.
    The series is set around Pierce Quincy who is a former profiler and his wife former cop Rainie. The couple has a teenage girl, Sharlah living with them whom they hope to adopt. Sharlah's older brother, Telly killed their abusive parents eight years ago, and since the pair have been kept apart in various homes. Now eight years later two people are murdered in their local convenience store and Sharlah's brother is identified as the killer. While fingers point to Telly being the killer it seems that there is a lot more to this case than first thought.
    This is a very well-paced novel that made me want to read more of this series.

    There are gaps between books when I pick one up by this author. Yet, after reading this book, I will be making a bigger effort to not let this happen. While this is book seven in this series, I had no problems jumping right into this book with the characters. Quincy and Rainie made a good duo. They both kind of shined in this book. I only say this because I felt that Cal Noonan did play a big lead part. He was important in helping to solve the case. Yet, to be honest, it was Sharlah that helped to bring her brother in. Yes, this is a suspense novel but it is more character driven. Thus why it was great that the characters were so engaging. Thus because I enjoyed the characters so much, I had no problems reading this book and staying engaged until the last page. If you are an established fan or a new reader of Lisa Gardner, you will like this book a lot.

    Great read! Kept me guessing the entire time. The police work and profiling seemed so realistic.

    Another great DD Warren classic from Lisa Gardner. Four stars not five on this one, because my pathos for the main characters, excluding DD, was not up to usual emotional standards. Also, I felt let down by the ending, feeling as if the author went the safe route in order to extend the life of a solid character into possible sequels rather than shift her into villain status. Definitely a worthwhile read.

    A well developed story that kept my interest from the first page to the last. The ending caught me by surprise. This is a great read.

    Profilers Pierce Quincy and Rainie Conner have fostered a troubled youngster, Sharlah, who is traumatised by a childhood in which her drunken father murdered her mother, only to be killed himself by Sharlah’s older brother Telly, aged 9. Telly, now 17, has gone on a killing spree, starting with his foster parents: it seems he is after Sharlah, but she has little memory of the night her parents died, and no clue as to what would trigger this murderous rage. A manhunt ensues, with all the usual drama. This is the 7th book featuring Quincy and Conner and, while it works well as a standalone, is sadly forgettable.

    Sharlah assisted her brother in the murder of their father. Both children are unable to get beyond this horror. They have been separated since the event. She is about to be adopted by a couple of FBI profilers. He allegedly goes on a killing spree to get to his sister. Is he so damaged that he needs to kill her too? This is action packed psycho-drama. I loved it. My thanks to the author and the Penguin First to Read program for a complimentary copy.

    I've greatly enjoyed other books by Lisa Gardner, including Say Goodbye and The Neighbor. This one I did not like so much. Not even close to believable, too many critical characters introduced towards the end of the book, and whiney main characters. Not her best.

    This is the fascinating story of Sharlah May Nash, a teenager who is in the process of being adopted by two “retired” FBI profilers, and her brother Telly Ray Nash who is allegedly on a “killing spree.” As the story progresses, so does the action, resulting in a conclusion that is far from predictable.

    I could poke holes in a few plot points, but I won't. I am so happy to see a Quincy and Rainier novel again, loved the two young characters, but mostly because it was the first mystery/police procedural that I didn't want to put down.Quite quickly paced, the effects of early violence on the young, foster homes and the adjustments they take and a strong brother/sister bond. Plus, a wonderful and loyal ex police dog. Also loved Cali, the cheese maker and tracker. Intrigue, suspense and though I saw a few of the twists coming still enjoyed and didn't have a clue about the final resolution of this story. Hope we continue to hear more from two of my favorite profilers.ARC from Netgalley.

    I'm having a difficult getting through Lisa Gardner's 'Right Behind You.' The pace is extremely slow and Gardner spends far too much time repeating research material rather than advancing plot or developing characters.I bought this one and I'm so sorry I did. I suggest potential readers get a library copy.

    This was a fantastic read. There were so many twists and turns. I did not want to put this book down. I love reading about Quincy and Rainey but it was great to add Sharlah. Why would Sharlah's brother show up after all these years? Why were they separated in the first place? This was a great story. I laughed and cried. I received an ebook from Firsttoread for a fair and honest opinion.
