Fresh Fiction Review

The Guy Who Died Twice
Lisa Gardner

Reviewed by Sandra Wurman

Thriller | Mystery

Bestselling author Lisa Gardner had an idea for a novella and in true Gardner form, shares this well-constructed page-turner even if the glee is short lived. But from the very title, THE GUY WHO DIED TWICE, fans of Lisa Gardner already know: we know we are in for a treat. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy. A man named Adam LaToile walks into the police headquarters and tells them he is dead. Of course, that is ridiculous since he is very much alive. But that will be short-lived -- no pun intended. D.D. Warren is called to Adam's house to investigate a murder... Adam's. Now he actually is dead and for the remainder of THE GUY WHO DIED TWICE, Lisa Gardner has us playing armchair detectives to find out who did it. I immediately had visions of the amazing cast of the movie Clue running room to room as they acted out the possible scenarios of the crime. I was smiling and at times laughing while reading this little gem of Lisa Gardner's. In THE GUY WHO DIED TWICE, you find DD Warren at her very best, eating shortbread and drinking tea -- very civilized -- with the slew of suspects. In the comfort of their home and waiting. THE GUY WHO DIED TWICE is at times DD retelling the events of the day to her husband Alex. Then the story moves back to the victim's home with dialog that is pure Lisa Gardner. You have to keep reminding yourself this is a novella. So I truly encourage you to take part in this brief crime novel and see if you can guess where Gardner is going. Be part of the investigation. All the clues are there. Now see if you can figure out who killed THE GUY WHO DIED TWICE.
