Detective D.D. Warren and her team have a possible serial
killer on their hands. Someone is shooting and killing
pedophiles. While some might argue they got what they
deserved, to D.D. they are victims of homicides that require
investigation. While at one of the crime scenes, D. D.
chases after someone she sees fleeing the scene. When
questioned, Charlene Rosalind Carter Grant (aka Charlie)
admits she was there to get a look at D.D. because Charlie
expects to be dead in a few days and wants D. D. to
investigate her murder. Suspicious but intrigued, D.D.'s
continued questioning reveals that Charlie's two best
friends were killed in the exact same way exactly one year
apart. Though she's tried to drop off the grid, Charlie has
spent nearly a year preparing for her confrontation with the
killer because she believes she's next. D.D. finds herself
investigating a series of murders and a hypothetical murder
while dealing with the distraction of her wonderful baby boy
and her loving partner Alex Wilson.
CATCH ME is an awesome addition to the D.D. Warren series. A
must read for fans of the series, it absolutely works as a
stand-alone story for anyone new to the series. Told from
multiple points of view, the characters come to life and
leave you wondering what's really going on up until the
story's spine-tingling climax. I thoroughly enjoyed the
quieter scenes of D.D. at home with her family (though a new
baby who doesn't sleep creates his own drama!) as much as I
was caught up with the suspense and mystery of the murder
investigations. It takes a talented writer to keep me
guessing until the end, and Lisa Gardner did just that.
Detective D. D. Warren is hard to surprise. But a lone
woman outside D.D.’s latest crime scene shocks her with a
remarkable proposition: Twenty-seven-year-old Charlene
Rosalind Carter Grant believes she will be murdered in
four days. And she wants Boston’s top detective to handle
the death investigation. It will be up close and personal.
No evidence of forced entry, no sign of struggle. Charlie
tells a chilling story: Each year at 8:00 p.m. on February
21, a woman has died.The victims have been childhood best
friends from a small town in New Hampshire; the motive
remains unknown. Now only the last friend remains to count
down her final hours.
But as D.D. quickly learns, Charlie Grant has been
preparing, and she doesn’t plan on going down without a
fight. As D.D. tracks a lone gunman who is killing
pedophiles in Boston, she must also delve into the murders
of Charlie’s friends, seeking the elusive insight into who
might be stalking and killing these childhood playmates,
in the hopes of preventing whatever might come this
February 21. Just how much can she trust Charlie Grant, a
woman who by her own admission can outshoot, outfight, and
outrun anyone in Boston? Is Charlie truly in danger, or is
she hiding a truth deep within her that may turn out to be
D.D.’s biggest surprise of all? In four days, someone is
going to kill me.
