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.

I couldn't stop listening.

The only bad part about this book was that it eventually had to end. Amazing performance with engaging and complex characters.

Lots of red herrings

This is the first Lisa Gardner book I've read, but it won't be the last
Good story, rounded characters and well paced.

Hooked!

Loved it. Awesome narrator, gripping plot, was hooked on it. Didn’t predict the ending which I normally do.

Terrible

In the past have really enjoyed Lisa Gardner's novels but I found this one terrible. "Days of Lives" type stuff with the narration adding gallons of cheesiness and unnecessary over-the-top drama.

A little too long

The book kept me engaged but I think it should have been shorter. It went on and on at times and less would have been more. Good and unexpected ending of the story!
