    About this audiobook

    Lisa Gardner's runaway New York Times bestseller—a fast-paced thrill ride featuring Detective D. D. Warren.

    Seven years ago, carefree college student Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break. For 472 days, Flora learned just how much one person can endure.

    Miraculously alive after her ordeal, Flora has spent the past five years reacquainting herself with the rhythms of normal life, working with her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes. She has a mother who’s never stopped loving her, a brother who is scared of the person she’s become, and a bedroom wall covered with photos of other girls who’ve never made it home.

    When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime—a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him—she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? And with her firsthand knowledge of criminal behavior, could she hold the key to rescuing a missing college student whose abduction has rocked Boston? When Flora herself disappears, D.D. realizes a far more sinister predator is out there. One who’s determined that this time, Flora Dane will never escape. And now it is all up to D. D. Warren to find her.

      The old cliche of couldn't put this down/caused-me-to-not-sleep, has never been so appropriate, than for this book. Great writing, even better plot, and even had me questioning my own sanity. Lisa Gardner definitely has a new fan here.

      פלורה דין נחטפה, ובמשך כמעט שנתיים, הוחזקה בתנאים תת אנושיים כשהיא סובלת מהתעללות יום יומית ובכך היא מאבדת כל צלם אנוש .
      פלורה מצליחה להימלט ולהרוג את החוטף שלה.

      5 שנים לאחר מכן, עברה של פלורה חוזר לרדוף אחריה והיא נאלצת להתמודד עם השלדים שהיא הסתירה מכולם,
      מעבר לספר מתח מצויין ולא צפוי בכלל , הספר מדבר על מה שקורה אחריי ששורדים, איך מתמודדים ואיך חיים אם מה שנשאר ממך לאחר הזוועות שעברת .

    • 5/5
      The twists and turns kept me wondering what would unfold next. I like that there was no romantic interest. I'm tired of novels where there is an instant love affair and too much time is spent with steamy sex. Boring. I want a thriller to not be a romance novel!

    • 1/5
      Just like the tiles of her other books...this was “touch and go”and then a huge “Crash and Burn”. I had zero emotion through this whole book except for boredom. I found myself falling asleep with the Audio on only to wake up later and did not feel like I missed a thing. I also don’t understand how come one could be put in a coffin size box and then still go out looking for trouble.

    • 5/5
      When the book you're reading starts out ... “When you first wake up in a dark wooden box, you’ll tell yourself this isn't happening.” you KNOW you're in for a incredible ride, especially when it's Lisa Gardner driving! The gist of the story is that Flora Danes is abducted while partying at a local bar. She wakes up in something like a garage, naked, with her hands bound tightly. She immediately springs into action, evaluating her situation and trying to find something that will help her get away. Let's just say we find out shortly that this wasn't the first time Flora had been abducted. Flora had been abducted 5 years earlier during spring break in Florida. Waking up then and finding herself in a pine box was just the start of her 472 days of unspeakable horrors, but she did survive... only to be abducted 5 years later? But something happened to Flora... she's not the carefree farm girl from Maine any longer... something darker is behind those eyes. The story alternates between Flora the Spring break kidnap victim and her ordeal as told through her voice, and the present day Flora, who has dedicated her life to learning to survive, so that she will never be a victim again... or so we think that's the reason. And how does she keep getting herself into these "situations"? Coincidence? Bad luck? Vigilante? Find Her is a gripping, edge-of-your seat suspense thriller that will have you turning those pages as fast as you can, long into the night. The story is filled with twists & turns that seamlessly fit together. The characters are so human, so real. Hearing Flora tell us about being kidnapped and living in that pine box is haunting. I love the way the story alternates, it gives us insight into what makes Flora tick, and it also gives us hints as what's to follow. I loved this book! It left me guessing until the very end! It was a thrilling ride and worth every moment I was reading! I don't rate too many 5 stars, but this book is definitely a 5 star read!*I received a copy of the eGalley from the publishers, for my honest review. Thank you!
    • 5/5
      This might be the first time I've rated a book five out of five, or if not - it's very rare for me to do so. While this is part of a series, and clearly I need to go back and read it from the beginning (think this is book eight), I thoroughly enjoyed it, so appears to be able to read as a stand-alone novel. There is a psychological thriller which explores the psychological aspects in easy to understand, yet sophisticated ways. The characters have depth and grow during the progression of the story. There is action & suspense, yet also paced to include quieter moments - important, in my opinion, or else I find a steady heightened pace (experienced in some other author's books) to lose it's edge of suspense. There were times I was frustrated with one or other of the characters, but this simply proves I'd managed to suspend disbelief and lose myself in the story.
    • 5/5
      fantastic story line, even mid way it had twists and turns you were not anticipating!
    • 3/5
      Thank you Bookreporter for the gift of this book. I have not read a Lisa Gardner novel since 2010, and thoroughly enjoyed the suspense of this novel. Flora Dane survives a 14-month kidnapping captivity and attempts to return to daily living, but this task proves more difficult than her captivity. The story alternates between present day Flora and kidnapped Flora. Lisa Gardner delves into Flora's psyche in both situations. The story explores the trauma that a survivor suffers when finally safe, which parallels that of a combat soldier returning home. Lisa Gardner's description of confinement brings the horror of the situation to the reader. I felt that I needed to check all my doors and windows, and not venture to bars, or anywhere at night. Flora’s mother remains a rock in the face of all Flora’s problems. Find Her maintained my interest throughout the story.
    • 5/5
      A special thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Dutton and NetGalley for ARC in exchange for an honest review. Lisa Gardner shifts to the edgy dark side with female vigilante, taking center stage in FIND HER —(DD Warren #8) Flora Dane, a former kidnapping victim, turned survivor-- held in a coffin box by a sadistic monster for 472 days-- on a mission to save other victims from predators, holding on to an obsession of R E V E N G E, or something else? A spine-tingling intense psychological crime thriller amid survivor/victim madness--an intense and emotional horror story--fans will love. Seven years earlier, a college student Flora was kidnapped. Finally, free from her captor--her story was hardly private. 472 days locked in a coffin. A trucker with a penchant for crashing at cheap motels in small southern towns. The press loved it. No aspect of her degradation, no salacious detail of her captivity was spared front-page glory. No one understands the horror she went though, and yet everyone knows her story. Her abduction hadn’t just victimized her, but her entire family, too. Major crimes are like cancer, they take over, demanding an entire family’s full resources. Her brother—social media expert. Her mother—victim advocates. She is a survivor who has yet to figure out how to live. How many predators need to be killed, and potential victims to be saved in order to balance the scales?Overnight her case became red-hot news and her family’s world exploded with it. She knows all about victim advocates. Once abducted by a crazed psychopath, and now she tracks them down at bars? Flora has made criminal behavior her specialty. Trap a predator? Save the day? Exact vengeance? A self-destructive freak? Self-defense enthusiast? An ice cold femme fatale? Four girls?Jacob Ness, a sadistic trucker held her captive, with brutal conditions, coffin, and rape. He liked prostitutes. He liked his own sex slaves. A sex addict. A monster. A box in the back of his cab so he could keep his victim with him at all times. Now she is back in Boston, prepared highly skilled self-defense, survival tricks, and equipped to fight back. A survivor who will not stay down. However, has the psychological damage turned into madness? Flora is on a mission to lure her dark predators and go for the kill. DESTROY.A girl who once upon a time thought of the world as a shiny, happy place. Does the girl have her own FBI agent on a leash? Guilt stricken, traumatized; because they survived, or because of what they did in order to survive? "Take your pick—guilt is guilt. Living with it. Survival isn’t a destination. It’s a journey."Flora and her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes, meet with Homicide detective, D.D. Warren following the apprehension of a sexual predator lured to justice by Flora. A bartender. Predator. Mr. I Haven’t Seen You Around. Roid rage, steroid abuse, crime spree. A missing girl, Stacey Summers—A Boston college student who disappeared in August. She is following the case. When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime—a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him—she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? Now Flora is missing and Stacey Summers. It is now up to DD Warren to find and save both women-- catch a killer that no one suspects. Will Flora be set free? No one wants to be a monster. Flora is flawed, courageous, frightened, and daring!Raw, disturbing, compelling. DD Warren takes a back seat in this one, in order to let Flora shine. Well-written, taut, sharp; with a highly emotional impact—leaving you breathless and page-turning. A compelling tale of triumph in the face of adversity—the mental and physical horrors. Powerful, heavy, gritty, scary- What it means to be a victim. Crime fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Unger, Linwood Barclay, and Paul Cleave will devour. To all survivors everything, talented Lisa Gardner dedicates FIND HER. Her best book yet! I think "dark and edgy" agrees with her. If you enjoyed FIND HER, recommend Woman of the Dead by Berhnard Aichner. Edgy, wacky, evil, tense, wicked, suspenseful, and thoroughly creepy mystery crime psycho-thriller. "Female Vigilante Justice, at its finest!"
    • 4/5
      Lisa Gardner hit it out of the park with this one! I've been reading DD Warren books for as long as I can remember and but I can't remember the last time I got as excited about one like this. I couldn't put it down. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.
    • 5/5
      Intriguing n full of surprises. The blending of the past n present bridged previous book to this book. Was easy to make the transitions n gave both stories finality. Characters r so real!
    • 5/5
      This is the first book I've read by Lisa Gardner but it certainly won't be the last! Apparently this is a later book in a series so now I'm going to hunt down the rest of the books. Find Her was exactly the kind of creepy suspense that kept my mind going back to the story even when I had to step away from the book. I listened to the audio which was perfectly narrated to give it that dark edge that set the tone for the story. Loved it. Recommend it.
    • 4/5
      A real page turner. Loved it.
    • 5/5
      The action starts right at the beginning which really got me hooked! Very suspenseful and horrifying. After I started reading I wondered if it was a good idea to read it before bed or not. Lisa Gardner did a great job of keeping me guessing. I couldn't figure out who the kidnapper was until she made it obvious. This is actually the 8th book in Det. D.D. Warren series but I had no problem reading it as a stand alone.
    • 4/5
      I was expecting a much darker ending. I found it a bit too hollywood happy ending for my taste. The story was interesting though and there were some cleverly crafted characters.
    • 5/5
      This is the 8th book in the series featuring this Boston Detective. I have read them all, but this book can be read as a stand alone novel with no problem.

      Flora Dane is a victim and a survivor. She was captured by a psychopath and held captive for 472, but she was rescued 5 years ago. She has taken every self-defense course she can find to make herself strong, but has she become a vigilante seeking revenge? Flora doesn't know what 'normal' is anymore. She is no longer close to her mother or brother like she used to be. She can not enjoy nature and barely holds down a job. When she kills a man who appears about to assault her, she calls her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes, not her mother or a lawyer.

      Detective D.D. Warren is called to the scene of the crime. There she finds a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him. During her investigation, she finds that this is not the first time Flora has been involved with others she suspected of kidnapping or assaulting women. The other case her team is involved in is a missing college student. Are they connected? Is the dead man the kidnapper? Will they ever find the young woman? When Flora disappears, the case heats up.

      The story is told in the present as well as flashbacks from Flora's days in captivity. It is suspenseful and the plot is well developed. The main characters are complex and throughout the book, we get to know them quite well. The topic of kidnapping and being held for a long period of time as a slave is hard to read at times, but is well done and timely with what has been happening in the last few years. As I read further into the story, I had a hard time putting this book down until I came to the satisfying conclusion. Another great addition to this series.
