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.
